Well the time has come that we are actually famous - published in a form of media other than our own blog. This week's edition of the Progress Leader has a great article about us and our trip. For all our followers that don't reside in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, you can check it out on the website byt going to this link http://www.leader.newspaperdirect.com/ and then selecting Camberwell as the area. Incase of any confusion though, we are actually picking up our car in Malaysia, not Manila.
We arrived in Boracay yesterday, a small island in the middle of the Phillipines which seems to be tourist land. We left Priscillia in Maila and flew to Roxas, where we landed at the smallest and most non-eventful airport I've ever come across. Then we squeezed all four of us into/onto a tricycle - Ben and I sitting ontop of each other and all four backpacks inside the sidecar, Tunkles perched ontop of the wheel of the sidecar, and Denner standing up at the back. After this exciting form of transport, we had a 40 minute and then a 4 hour bus trip on air-conditioned coaches (the Philipines seems to have quite a comfortable public bus service), eventually arriving at Caticlan where we caught a ferry across to Boracay. We arrived at around 6pm (our first flight was at 10am), and found ourselves some very nice and affordable accommodation in close proximity to the beach. Today's missions are Denner to buy board shorts and going for a swim in the sea.
Hey guys, that link to the Progress Leader doesn't seem to work. Folks can try this, and then click on the area that has Camberwell in it. Hope this works....

Hello guys! Mica here from last night (the Filipina wearing the white shirt in Tree House dorm room). It was nice meeting the four of you :D
ReplyDeleteHi Mica, nice to meet you! Thanks for putting up with us crashing your dorm party, hope you're enjoying our blog.
DeleteLol denner how could you forget boardies??!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think that is ridiculous, but I'm fairly certain he just wanted an excuse to go shopping in the Philippines. Unfortunately it turns out that skinny Philippinos don't wear board shorts and they're just sold for fat American tourists, so it took him about a day to find any that didn't fall off him.
DeleteHere you have the link with you in the news that actually works:

S.
Thankyou! And Tom Denner sends his regards back to you.
DeleteMy friend and I were in Luang Prabang when we saw your SUV parked in front of a temple and decided to take a photo of it [to remind me of your blog site] because of the Philippine flag. I'm so disappointed with your Philippine "adventures"! Had I known that you were going to be here, I could've helped you plan your trip. :) Come back, you guys! :D
