So unfortunately we left Pangalo Island this morning, L it seems this rolling up and finding accommodation is not so easy in the Philippines, unless you have some mode of transport! We had a delicious breakfast this morning by the pool, toast, mango jam and fresh mango (picked straight from a tree in the calypso […]
So today was our first experience of Filipino public transport, after five buses in one day we pretty much have it down now! To start with it was definitely different to a 555 in good ol’ sheppers! Apparently there is no such things as bus stops and you just hail a passing bus from wherever you may […]
So we arrived in Manila last night, got mugged off massively by our ‘lost’ taxi driver, we concluded this when he proceeded to drive around a multistory car park in order to push up the meter just a tad more…Anyhoo nothing we could do about it really as we had no idea where we were […]
Suprisingly good nights sleep on our tatami mats! Well they say its good for your back to sleep on the floor every now and then dont they? Watched a bit of sumo on the TV, shame we didn’t get chance to see any real live action! Today our Japanese leg of the adventure comes to an end and […]
So after last nights Birthday drinkies we both woke up with a tad of a hangover this morning! Soldiered on though and got up early to Skype my sister back in England, had a nice little chat and then grabbed some noodles for breakfast, I think we might be ♪Turning Japanese! ♫ and some intense pancakes with cream […]
We had planned to do some more city sight seeing today, however the Kimono wearing Canadians told us about a Monkey park in Arashiyama, when Tommy found out the monkeys were in fact Japanese Macaques, it was decided what today would involve! Feeling pretty knackered after all the cycling and beer consumption, we headed to Arashiyama, […]
Such a good day cycling around Kyoto! We rented some brilliant little single speeds near the train station, which came with a basket and a self-charging light when it got dark, would have loved it for cycling at home! Our first destination was the Silver Pavilion, pretty nice cycle route even though the roads were fairly […]
Mainly just a travelling day so not much to report! We travelled from Nikko to Kyoto so it was fairly lengthy, however we did get to travel on a Shinkansen Bullet Train! (All included with the JR pass <3) They are indeed just like bullets, tried to get a picture of one in the station but they are […]
With only one full day in Nikko, we were up early to visit the UNESO World Heritage temple complex; it was 1300Yen, just over £9 GBP for entry, which isn’t too bad really considering there are 103 buildings and structures to see here! These buildings make up the Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple, Taiyuinbyo Mausoleum and the Futarasan Shrine. […]
The alarm went off early and we set off in search of Fuji, after a ten minute walk from our hostel we reach lake Kawaguchiko, we weren’t 100% sure which direction Fuji was as it had been so misty the previous day. We were getting a bit worried as we could not see it and had a train […]
