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,
