Fun in Manila

We stayed at the Microtel mall of Asia. This is a great hotel for shopping in the mall of Asia and for restaurants with entertainment along Seaside Boulevard.

We met friend here and had such a great time

The journey home the day after this was interesting as this ride made my daughter feel sick and she still felt sick on Sunday. The airline would not let us fly as they noticed a sick bag in her hand. What a nightmare. She was ok but just had the bag for emergency. But they would not us on the next flight either and we had to wait hours until they saw her eat and drink. We then had to get checked in Hong Kong before they let us get on another connecting flight.

Coco Grove Cultural Evening

The cultural show every week at Coco Grove Beach Resort is a must. There is some excellent entertainment and the food served as a buffet is so good.

You will not go hungry

Ready for the Wedding

Everything set for our wedding. Just a few more hours and I will be tying the knot.

A wonderful time was had by all. A great service, lovely weather, lovely guests and a beautiful bride, what more can a man ask for.

The party went on all afternoon into the evening.

A Meal with friends

As soon as we arrived on Siquijor, we got changed a ready to go out. We had a lovely meal and a few drinks with friends and family.

A really nice start to the holiday. This just a short trip we had to cram in as much as possible.

Manila to Dumaguete






An early rise on Sunday. We stayed at the airport hotel which is just a short walk from Terminal one at Manila Airport. Although we was up at 5.00 am a hot breakfast was waiting in the reception area. We took the free hotel shuttle to terminal three for a Cebu Pacific domestic flight to Dumaguete. The flight is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes. It was all a bit of a rush as we needed to get the Delta ferry from Dumaguete to Siquijor. The ferry was not that busy which helps as there is not really anywhere to put your luggage.

Hong Kong




We arrived at Hong Kong airport and only had about 1.5 hours before the next flight. This gave us just enough time to go through security and find our gate. I would say flying via Hong Kong is the quickest route from the UK to the Philippines.

Taxi to Heathrow - 9th Trip






So here we go off to London Heathrow on my ninth trip to the Philippines. I thought a taxi would be a good idea this time as my daughter and I had to leave straight after work and the cost of a taxi was better than parking my car for a week. It also meant I could have a drink on the way back.
