My dear
ones,
I know it’s
been a while since I wrote my last post but the Philippines were definitely
worth putting my computer away for. Occasionally J
When I
travel my two very important reasons to pick a certain place is the nature and
local people. And I must say I did complete my task in the Philippines.
Remember
when I said that I don’t know anything about this country? For now I know that
this beautiful 7000 islands country has one of the friendliest smiley people I
ever met. I am not talking about Manila though. The chaotic capital didn’t charm me
at all.
When we
arrived in the Philippines we headed straight to Romblon province and the islands
around. And we did find all what we expected: great diving, beautiful coral
reefs, some wrecks, turtles, white sand beaches, friendly local people,
children so chatty and interested about us. We had quite few proper good
conversations with locals. Oh, Philippines must be explored again and again.
Traveling
was a little bit hard, nearly everywhere you need to take a boat and the
transport on land took ages. But the
crazy thing is jeepneys. You must come to the Philippines only for them. How
great is to travel on a roof with 20 more kids around you on some dodgy scary roads
with a speedy driver. That’s why I love Asia, no regulations and stupid rules,
screw any risk assessments!
Our 3 weeks
ran quite quickly. I had a great time in the Philippines and I am sure I am
coming back sometime again.
Tomorrow is
our flight to Borneo - the paradise of wildlife. We got accepted to some
volunteering project in the mountains taking care of some retreat centre.
Climbing high in Borneo is also on our list. More details I am leaving for the
next post J
Stay active
and enjoy the rest of February!
Ligita
