Business Lounge Seoul

Have done enough flights on Asiana Airways to get vouchers for access to the business lounge as well as priority check-in and boarding.

A really good way to kill a few hours, with good internet access, food and drink.

Well, will be boarding in a couple of hours, then back to work and normal daily routines. Think I am ready for another holiday.

Different Every Day

The great thing about the sunsets on Siquijor is that they are different every night. Colours changes, cloud formations are always different. I have never seen two the same.

Sun Set

Sun sets on Siquijor are just amazing. This photo shows the sun setting behind a small island called Apo Island.

Apo Island has some of the best diving and snorkelling in the Philippines. I have never been there but have plans to visit soon.

Party on the Beach

Had a great day on the beach with family and friends. We had a barbecue of fresh fish, chicken, pork and rice.

Did some swimming, snorkeling, games on the beach and generally had a really good laugh.

Jeepney

Today we went to Siquijor town to buy food for a barbecue on the beach tomorrow. While we were there we saw this Jeepney.

Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transport in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War two and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating.

If you visit places like Manila you will see just hundreds and hundreds of them. You do not see many on Siquijor. Motorbike and trike are the main modes of transport on Siquijor.

Another Lazy Day

Another relaxing day. Not doing too much apart from eating, drinking and relaxing. May be a trip out on the motorbike or a swim in the pool.

Fancy a Bacon Sandwich

This passenger riding the side car will probably find it's the end of the road. This pig is most likely going to a family party, very tasty.

I was just filling up with petrol when this stopped to refuel at the same time.

Barbecue

While on the boat trip we stopped on a beach and cooked lunch.

Such a pleasant experience, just picking a beach, lighting a fire and have lunch before moving off for some more snorkelling.

Snorkelling

A group of us hired a boat with crew to go snorkelling. The boat only cost us 4500 pesos for the whole day. Not bad for 8 people all day.

The coral and fish were just amazing. I have never seen anything like it.

The only scary moment was the sight of the sea snake.

Friend's Property

Went to see how my friend is progressing with property. They have made a lot of progress and the landscaping is really taking shape.

Will look really good when it is all finished with views over the sea.

New Years Day

Got up late New Years day. Must admit to being a bit delicate and not having much to drink after such a good party the night before.

You just cannot beat spending time in a warm climate away from the cold UK weather, especially over new year.

Fireworks

New years eve on the island of Siquijor, Philippines. The part went on until 4.00am. We had such a great time drinking, dancing and generally having a good time. New years eve on the beach was just a great experience.

New Years Eve Buffet

The new years party at Coral Cay Resort was really enjoyable. The food was excellent. This pig was fed on organic vegetables and was enjoying life in the morning. It tasted really nice. I did try the skin as I was told it was the best bit. Well not for me!

There was plenty of food of all types.
