Ha ha - when life offers street green mango and bagoong or camote cue - we stop walking and start eating because you never know when or if you will pass this way again.

Agree with you! Divisoria is well worth experiencing. It is not always easy - but there is nothing like it in our home country of Canada.

We do not travel by car in Philippines. We use bus or van or jeepney to travel between cities. The parking area at the Mamori Hotel in Allen looked safe to me. Some people who were staying there parked right in front of their room door. The parking area is very clean and well lighted and is situated between the building with the hotel rooms and the building with the staff and kitchen. I don't know about security personnel.

Thanks for letting us know that the video helped out. Wishing you good luck on your Sorsogon trip.

It's a wonderful little city. Cool stuff around the region too. The Caramoan Peninsula is amazing - we visited there three years ago.

Glad you liked the vid! Cristina keeps trying to make me smile - even as I try not to.

That is great you are following on Google maps. It's a good way to make sense of all the places we are visiting.

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated!

Thank you for letting us know. Glad to know that the vlog was helpful.

We really want to spend more time exploring Samar on our next trip.

This particular bus ride was one of our longest - and with the fewest stops. A bad combination. Good thing we had some bananas and pandesal along for the ride. Crazed for food by the time we got to Allen.

Salamat po

Thanks!

Glad that the video was helpful to you. We are not in Iligan any more so can't make a vlog about Isabel Ramiro Street. I think we were very near that street when we got off the bus at the station - but we stayed in the hotel at the Robinson Mall which is not near Ramiro Street. We really enjoyed our stay in Iligan city - lots going on and lots of friendly people.

Here is a link to Google Maps showing the location of our stay at Villa de Pico in Puerto Galera: maps.app.goo.gl/EfLMTXFUr6UXs5Hd8

Ha ha - it was a long day - glad you liked the vid!

Welcome and thanks for subscribing!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the support.

Thank you!

Thanks Gab from Uncle Joe and Tita Cristina!

Thank you!

Beautiful island and very kind and interesting rural community. One of our stand-out experiences for sure. Good luck on your future travels!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Glad you are going back to check out some previous videos. We were lucky to visit some very fun places in the Philippines - a surprise around every corner. Ha ha - we are for sure keeping on travelling!

Baybay beach and Roxas City are beautiful. We first visited in 2011 and now again in 2024. Wonderful that you have a house there! Baybay beach is where we first saw outdoor capiz string lights - and now have them at home in Metro Vancouver, Canada - to remind us of Baybay. Cristina emigrated to Metro Van over 40 years ago and we have made several road trips over the years to your beautiful part of the world - Southern California.

We took FastCat. It took about 3 hours to get to Liloan from Surigao City. I should say that we were a bit confused. When Cristina and I walked into the port building at Surigao City we though we could buy a ticket there. I had thought that we would be going to San Ricardo. Anyway we were told we could not purchase a ticket in the port building and were directed to a ticket office on the street - which we could not find at first. Then we found a ticket office and it seemed we were in the right place. But then after we had purchased the tickets I found that we were going to Liloan and not San Ricardo. Not the first time we have ended up in a place we had not thought we were going to. Good BBQ in Liloan!

The bus ride from Dapitan to Iligan takes about 5 hours.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vlog.

Thank you for your kind comments. Glad you enjoy the videos! I think Philippines is a good match for Cristina and I. We just poke around and seem to find fun pretty much everywhere we go.

Good point!

Thank you for pointing that out. I probably should have put some commas in the title. There is a big difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma" Sorry, my bad. I will drop a couple commas in the title now.

Philippines is our happy place - we love checking out the seemingly unlimited beauty spots that seem to pop up around every bend.

They sure are! Thanks for watching.

Welcome and thanks for watching! We have not visited Davao city yet, but plan to one day.

Great to hear you will be going to Iligan. We enjoyed our visit to Iligan very much and hope to return one day and do some exploring around the city.
