Robbed on Kagusuan Beach
Thursday September 11, 2014
6:10 a.m. San Juan, Siquijor
Room 2, Casa Miranda
Yesterday turned out to not exactly like every other day. It was the type of day that only I ever seem to have. Everyone else would have had a lovely day at the beach. I turned that potentially pleasurable occasion into a seventy-kilometer triathlon event, a robbery, and a couple of hours in the company …
Adventures on a Boat to Siquijor
Tuesday September 9, 2014
7:00 a.m. San Juan, Siquijor
Casa Miranda guest house – Room 2
Ah, where to start? I stopped writing yesterday because I looked up and saw a bunch of people streaming out the door of the harbor building and going toward a small GL Express boat. I remembered that my boat to Siquijor was a GL Express boat, and I realized that that was …
Heading to Siquijor
Monday September 8, 2014
12:50 p.m. Dumaguette, Negros
I have a bit of time to kill before my boat to the island of Siquijor. So I fired up the NEO. Not sure if I have anything to say, but let’s see…
I didn’t do very much after my morning of swimming with the whale sharks. I did some roaming around Oslob and a bit of photography along the …
Whale Shark Watching in Oslob
Sunday September 7, 2014
8:50 a.m. Oslob, Cebu
I’m a bit later on the NEO this morning because I got up at 4:30 this morning to go to Tanawan for a whale shark watching trip. Some people I met yesterday kind of talked me into it. These people were staying in a couple of rooms at this lodge, and in the morning, they were preparing lunch on …
Checking Out Oslob and Tanawan
Saturday August 6, 2014
6:30 a.m. Oslob, Cebu
Still in Oslob this morning. I might leave once I have my morning coffee, but we’ll see. My body could use another day to recover. And it’s rare to get a comfortable room for 200 pesos a night, especially one right on the ocean, so it would be nice to stick around another day and night.
After breakfast yesterday morning, …
Cycling Down the Coast from Cebu
Friday September 5, 2014
7:00 a.m. Oslob, Cebu
I finally found the energy to pack up my pannier bags and do a bit of cycling. As soon as I started riding, I realized why I had gotten stuck in Cebu for so long. This cycling business is damn hard. Damn hard. I suppose, if I can be a cliché for a minute, it could be because I’m …
The Parade of Idiocy Continues
Saturday February 1, 2014
6:15 a.m. Cebu City, Philippines
Room 406 Hallmark Hotel
An account of yesterday will, unfortunately, sound much like the accounts of all my days in Cebu. I went to shopping malls and couldn’t find the things I was looking for. But there were variations, so here I go:
I was up quite early, and I went out into Cebu to get something to eat. Unfortunately, …
Nearly Defeated by One Rusty Bolt
Friday January 31, 2014
5:00 a.m. Cebu, Philippines
Just to pick up the story from yesterday: I was sitting in Bo’s coffee shop in Park Mall waiting for the friendly people at Cycle Logic to fix my bike. I had asked the clerk to let me know when they had the grip shifter open so that I could see the insides. I honestly didn’t expect that to …
