goodbye island life

Saying goodbye to the island of Siquijor before we head across the water on a little beat up ferry. The wind was blowing fiercely and we were rocked until the other passengers began to vomit. One of the longest short trips I’ve ever taken. I am thankful we did not sink and arrived only a little worse for wear in Dumaguete.

    Oh! Siquijor! I didn’t expect to see this.

    I clicked through to your blog from Nirrimi’s because I wanted to see some “documented delight” – but now I am personally delighted too!

    My mother grew up on Siquijor, I think in Bitaug, Enrique Villanueva. Some of her family are still there.
    I still have never been anywhere in the Philippines (except when in my mummy’s tummy), but I always love to learn more about the place.

      Hello Charlotte,

      How special that your mama was raised on Siquijor. You have to go there! It is such a lovely, lovely place. I am sure your mama would have told you how beautiful it is (though if she’s like a lot of the Filipina’s I know she might only tell you it’s terrible, haha). It was so lovely and we had such a great time there. Such a small world we live in.

      My warmest wishes to you,

      Georgia x

Our last evening in Coco Grove they laugh and play in the waves until the sun sets.

You know what’s the best? Childhood.

When you can strip off your clothes and jump around in the ocean wearing only your now see through undies in front of a girl you’ve only known a few days and feel absolutely fantastic.

We travel up the mountain on Siquijor where we find these waterfalls and play for the afternoon.

Wary of the waterwall Theo sticks to the outskirts of the beautiful little lagoon. He crawls about using only his arms and panting like a little hopeless puppy.
