Japanese Shrine in Valencia
The Japanese shrine is beautifully situated and well worth the effort to visit
Erected 1977
The view from the shrine is really amazing
We hiked there
The road uphill to the shrine offered nice views over Dumaguete
Hot and sweaty

Going to Apo island
Apo Island is known for its many sea turtles.
It was empty at the Rollin Pin today where I had my breakfast.
They have everything at Malatapay market...
Dried fish
Here the livestock market. 5 PHP to go in there.
The fisherman with his catch
Never sit under a coconut tree!
A few minutes after this pic was taken the woman in the striped t-shirt was attacked by the coconut!
Unloading and loading our boat.
Finally on our way and I managed not to get sea sick!
Liberty lodge and our room was at the very top of the building.
We had to climb many stairs to get to the Top 1 room.
Our view from the room was not bad. We paid 3700 PHP for one night with the extra bed included.
We were lucky, we swam with the sea turtles
Life is wonderful
350 steps something and 600-700 m to walk to the lighthouse.
The lighthouse and the new construction at the top of Apo island.
The view from here was very rewarding.
Sunset at Apo island.
Don't expect to sleep long in the morning
After 24 hours on this beautiful island we were heading back to mainland.
The budget
A double room with an extra bed at the Liberty lodge 3700 PHP with three meals included.
600 PHP per head back and forth with the boat, ask Liberty for the transfer.
100 PHP an environmental fee upon arriving to Apo island.
28 PHP with bus from South Terminal in Dumaguete going there.
20 PHP with jeepney going back to Dumaguete.
Not included in our budget, but available if you need it: Rent of life vests (when snorkeling), renting a table ( to put your stuff), snorkeling gear and snorkeling guides.
Going there:
Or you can let the lodge arrange with the transfer as we did on this trip.

We came and they went. Btw this was the pool which was not suitable for bath.
The unknown pearl
In some places the water was so hot so you burned your feet when stepping in it!
The water was not clear but I guess it was due to the minerals from the mountain.
The pools from upper left clockwise: far too warm, medium warm, luke warm and warm.
The medium warm pool suited me perfect. The water had a small scent of sulphur.

Someone was obviously really enjoying every step she took! Or hm was it in pain...?
On rare occasion I can smile for the photographer hehe
In one moment it's clear and in the next it's cloudy
One of the big guys was roaming around here
We were lucky this day, we hadn't any rain
At the summit there is a kiosk where we bought the Combo Special Meal. Just 120 PHP for two.
The view from here is breathtaking
A table for four
Heading back downhill was worse for our legs than going uphill. But we had the sun in the back so we could really enjoy the scenery.

You should buy the fruits from the vendors on the streets instead of the supermarkets. It's cheaper, more fresh and you exercise your negotiating skills.
This is the Veggie guy and he has his fruit and veggie stand just outside Sibulan. You can buy fresh buko juice there, only 15 PHP each.
Did you know this? That red bananas help combat nicotine withdrawal by fighting off the side effects, and reducing nicotine cravings.
One of many fruit stands in downtown Dumaguete
Can you see the plane?
Good night boats sweet dreams...
Someone said: Oh my, don't look like a crocodile! Ehh... what am I suppose to answer on that?!
