Robbery Thoughts, Plus a Photowalkabout on the Beach
Friday September 12, 2014
6:20 a.m. San Juan, Siquijor
Room 2 Casa Miranda
The robbery on Kagusuan beach is still on my mind of course. It bothers me to think of the thief out there laughing to himself at how stupid I was to leave my bag unlocked and unattended on the beach. I hate thieves. To this day, I get angry when I think of the person …
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 …
Riding to a Viewpoint Over Cebu
Street scene outside the window of this 7-11: four street boys sleeping on the sidewalk. Very dirty and dishevelled. Two little boys and one much larger boy. One little boy has no clothes except for an over-sized T-shirt. The T-shirt has hiked up over his body, so he is pretty much naked lying there on the street. His little butt cheeks are exposed to the …
