011 – Ferry from Camiguin then Trip to Airport
I tried to buy a ticket on a ferry yesterday, but they only sell them on the day of departure. I assume they do this to prevent scalping, but I can’t be sure of that. I was worried about the timing of all this – my tricycle to Mambajao, jeepney to Benoni, ferry to Balingoan, bus to Cagayan de Oro, taxi to the airport, and …

Jasmin by the Sea, Camiguin, Philippines
I have some music playing on my X-Mini Capsule speaker and some water boiling in my Yong Heng Electronic Heating Cup. I am mostly packed. Everything is arrayed in neat piles ready to be stacked inside my backpack and knapsack. There are a few challenges facing me today, but nothing that will be too draining …

Time for another cup of coffee at the beginning of another day. It rained throughout the early morning hours, but now the sun is shining, so it looks like another perfect day.
I set off on my motorbike once again yesterday. Over breakfast, I had gone over some notes I had made about Camiguin Island, and …
008 – Mantigue Island & the Giant Clams Santuary

Jasmin by the Sea, Camiguin, Philippines
I have Mozart playing on my little speaker, water slowly coming to a boil in the pot, and a motorcycle sitting outside waiting to take me to some new small adventures. Hard to know how things could be any better.
There is one way I would improve on the situation – and that would be not …
007 – Hibok-Hibok Volcano
April 6, 2011 – Camiguin
Jess and I made plans to climb Hibok-Hibok volcano the next day. I wasn’t positive I wanted to do that. It seemed like a lot of hard work for very little reason. And, to be honest, I wasn’t sure that given my poor physical condition I could even do it. Volcanoes, I know from experience, are very difficult to climb. They …
006 – Motorcycling Around Camiguin – Tuasan Falls

Jasmin by the Sea rents motorcycles for 350 pesos a day. They are identical to the bikes that were for rent on Palawan. I’ve heard them called underbones, and they are somewhere in between a motorcycle and a scooter. They look like a motorbike and you have to change gears. However, there is no clutch. …
005 – White Island & Mantigue Island

Jasmin by the Sea
Camiguin, Philippines
I was interrupted yesterday with the arrival of my dinner. I also had gotten up to take a picture of the hammock with the golden light of sunset on it. I was just thinking to myself that photographers call that the “magic hour” – the hour around dusk and dawn when the light is just perfect. …
004 – A Walk Down the Shore

Camiguin, Philippines
The rain came to an end at some point yesterday and today the sun is out. Luckily, the skies still have some wispy clouds scattered about to keep the full force of the sun at bay. There is a fair bit of wind and the sea is a little rough, so I don’t think I’ll be …
