Bohol and Panglao Last time we wrote about our arrival in Tagbilaran, the main city on Bohol Island. The town was just another crowded, noisy place so we were glad when we checked in at a nice place called Coco Farm on Panglao Island the next morning. Panglao is a smaller island than Bohol but but is near Tagbilaran, just across a bridge. Coco Farm was in quiet, tranquil place. Nice beaches were all around…

Siquijor (pronounced sicky whore), also known as the Island of Fire is a fascinating destination that shouldn’t be missed when traveling the popular Visayas region (Bohol, Dumaguete, Negros) in the Philippines. There are several ways to access Siquijor by all the ports of the surrounding main islands. Once you’re in the Philippines you’ll see how easy it is to jump from island to island.

Don’t expect to get a typical Western steak or roast. Usually there is a list of pork parts you can chose from, everything from the head to the toe is served. Even the ears and the snout can…

While in Bali, we kept track of all our spendings and in this article we will show exactly how much it cost us to travel Bali. Kuta is a place we like to avoid, at least when it comes to accommodation and eating out. Ubud is also a bit more expensive than the rest of the island and we have another, more in-depth guide to Ubud as well. All prices mentioned in Indonesian rupiah (€1…

Heat can become a real burden in Bali. In combination with the high humidity it can literally drag one down, making it tiring to set a step out of the air-conditioned coffee shop. While staying in Ubud, we tried to beat the load of heat rays by looking for cool water spots. Air Terjun or Waterfalls are the best refreshment on hot and sticky days Ubud is quite far from the beach or any place…
