Japan π―π΅ - Day 42, 43 & 44 - Nara I got to Nara just after 4pm, and was greeted with a gorgeous rainbow over the station buildings. The train was just a classic regional train, though it felt more like a metro, just longer and overground. It was a fairly short ride, barely an hour from Yamashina, with one
Japan π―π΅ - Day 39, 40, 41 & 42 - Kyoto For my first day in Japan, I slept in, only getting up late morning. I was still tired from the exhausting sick days at the end of my stay in the Philippines. When I was in the airport the night before, I picked up one of those prepaid SIM-cards so
πΊοΈ - Day 38 - Cebu to Kyoto The journey to Japan started at 6am with a Grab (the SE-Asian Uber) to the airport. Since I left the hostel early, I didn't take time to eat before getting to the airport. I just had something once I passed security. My flight to Manila took off on
Philippines π΅π - Day 36 & 37 - Cebu After 13 days on the same island, I left my hostel in Siquijor in the early morning to get the ferry at 8.20. The following 48 hours were pretty terrible. I didn't get motion sickness from the ferry, as I'm quite used to it, but
Philippines π΅π - Day 32, 33, 34 & 35 - Siquijor 3/3 The next accommodation was a proper hostel this time, and with a kitchen for once! (although I didn't use it) The second day, I went to another waterfall called Locong Falls. I was originally aiming for Kawasan Falls (not the one in Cebu) but ended up there instead.
Philippines π΅π - Day 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 & 32 - Siquijor 2/3 As soon as I could check in, I went over to Cliff Gardens, my accommodation for the next 5 nights. I also picked up the laundry I dropped off the day before. What makes this place nice is that at the end of the garden, there's access to
Philippines π΅π - Day 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27 - Siquijor 1/3 The next 3 posts will be about Siquijor. I stayed there 13 nights in total, but split it to avoid having one massive 13 days post, and this way because I stayed in 3 different places. The first hostel I stayed at was Mad Monkey. For those who don'
Philippines π΅π - Day 19, 20, 21, 22 & 23 - Bohol After I checked out of the hostel in Panglao, I drove directly to my next accommodation in Bohol. It was a 45 minute drive to Loboc, where the guesthouse was. The room wasnβt ready when I got thereβeven though I got there at the provided check in timeβ
Philippines π΅π - Day 17, 18 & 19 - Panglao First of all, let's get a bit of geography down. My whole trip to the Philippines was concentrated around the Visayas region. The Visayas region is composed of several islands, including major ones such as Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, and Samar. I started off in Cebu City,
Philippines π΅π - Day 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17 - Cebu My first day in Cebu wasn't very active, I was absolutely exhausted from my 36 hour journey from Aqaba to Cebu so I slept a lot and lazed in. I did go out a little bit for a short walk in the area around the hostel, to get
πΊοΈ - Day 11 & 12 - From Amman to Cebu Even though I got to Amman airport slightly later than anticipated, I still had plenty of time before my flight, and even more because I found out it was delayed when I got there! When I was checking in, the lady asked me if I had an onward flight out
Jordan π―π΄ - Day 10 & 11 - Aqaba and Dead Sea Right after getting out of the desert, we drove straight over to Aqaba and the red sea. Aqaba is a geopolitically very interesting area. It is right on the Red Sea, representing most of the 26 km access to these waters from Jordan. In the very small area that is
Jordan π―π΄ - Day 7, 8, 9 & 10 - Wadi Rum Desert After the failed second day at Petra, we made our way straight down to Wadi Rum. It's a fairly straightforward drive, along a portion of the famous desert highway. We didn't yet have a place to stay for the night when we left Petra, so we
