Photos from Beach in Siquijor

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 …

My First Bike Ride Around Siquijor

Wednesday September 10, 2014
6:10 a.m. San Juan, Siquijor
Room 2 at the Casa Miranda
Yesterday turned out to be a pretty good if tiring day. The weather stayed nice. It was overcast a lot and a bit windy, but that works in my favor. The sun when it comes out is pretty brutal, so an overcast sky is actually more pleasant. And there was no rain at …

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, …
