Visayas road trip 2015 - Philippines

The year 2015 was very busy in terms of traveling, Serbia, Athens, Netherlands, Prague, Budapest, Norway, Stockholm, Riga, Warsaw, festivals, but I did not have enough! Remaining 10 days of vacation in my pocket and visiting  Asia on my wish list! I was not clear which Asian country it will be, but when I found a cheap return flight ticket from Dubai to Manila, the problem was solved :) And that is how it all started! No plans, no idea how, where, with whom, considering money or how to get to Manila from Slovakia hah....nevermind, everything will be okay, I thought :) And it was! After one month and a half waiting for the best offer, I found a good deal from Budapest to Manila (stopover in Dubai ). My Slovak friend, Zuz, who had lived in East Timor that time, decided to join me. Basically, we touched 9 islands in Visayas : Cebu, Bohol (Panglao), Negros, Siquijor, Panay, Guimaras and Boracay, plus Lazon, where the capital, Manila, is located. Quite enough for 12 days, don't you think?  For your curiosity, check the map of our journey below and another blogs where I share other details including photos (will be posted soon).

LIKES: everyday life with young fresh coconut, coconut palms, fresh sweet mangos, fresh bananas, bambus houses, jungle, small beautiful islands, warm local people, seafood, Coconut farm hostel, Nuts huts hostel, nature, beautiful beach in Boracay, not so spoiled by tourism (except Boracay)
