Gili Air, up to Leaving Bali
December 28, 2022 on the Philippines ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Sadly, I had to leave Gili Air, to get on a flight from Bali Airport (Denpasar) to Manila. Gili is a bit grubby around the shoreline, and inland, but that's Indonesia all over. It's by far the most relaxed and pleasant place I've been to in Indonesia. Not so much exciting as welcoming and liveable.
For my last night, I popped along the beach to a restaurant that was having a 'movie night'. It was the the Julia Roberts vehicle, Eat, Pray, Love. Very fittingly for seeing it screened in an island off Bali, it has J.R. trying to find herself, losing herself and generally not understanding herself in Italy, India and Indonesia (the alliteration must be intentional).
Early to bed, to get a good night's sleep in my fantastic bamboo hut, ready for the boat back to Bali and the airport.Read more

Travel from Bali to Coron via Manila
December 31, 2022 on the Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
A short-ish post today.
The travel through Manila got to me - that and not having access to wi-fi or a local SIM card that works for either Manila or the island of Coron.
Hopefully, the photos will illustrate some of the travel-hassles and things seen along the way through Manila. It's now my least favourite city on this trip.
It was an awful bit of travelling, but inevitably there had to be some lousy experiences amongst the pleasurable ones.
But sailing to Coron was a different experience altogether.
The ferry from Manila dropped me off in San Jose, Mindoro, from where I (eventually) got on another ferry to the island of Coron. I got lucky in finding a tricycle taxi driver who was human and helpful, and got me to the ferry port in okay time.
It was due to leave at 10am, but passengers had to wait for cargo and goods to be loaded, so that it was 11:30 before I got on.
What an absolutely lovely voyage it was. Calm sea, warm sunshine. It made it a real adventure and not just getting somewhere.Read more

Coron, New Years Eve 2022
December 31, 2022 on the Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Well it certainly doesn't feel like New Years Eve.
How did that happen? I seem to have lost a couple of days (think it's still 2022 though).
My main task today was to book my ferry from Coron to El Nido. I've decided that, just in case of delays, I'd better get the ferry tomorrow and hope that I can find somewhere to stay when I arrive on New Year's Day.
Coron town is gearing up for the New Year celebrations. The special food sellers are out, as are the noisy sods flogging the brightly coloured klaxon things. It's hot and sticky, and I can't stop sweating (29 degrees, 70% humidity). Staying indoors, drinking lots of water is the best advice. Instead, I wandered the streets finding shot after shot. Will I never learn?Read more
