Day 69 & 70: Galapagos on a “Budget” – Isla Santa Cruz
Ever since a child I was fascinated of the famous Galapagos Islands and was literally soaking in the colourful wildlife documentaries on TV like a patient on hypnosis. I did not even plan a visit but luckily my old friend Chris from high school times sent me 10 days ago a message, asking if I […]

Mancora is famous for three things: Surfing, Partying and Wildlife.

Day 9: Cataratas do Iguacu – The Argentinian Side, the Fun Park and the Illegal Chilean

Bohol – Tarsiers, Chocolate Hills and Beach Life
It is a 2 hour ferry trip from Cebu to Bohol. Arriving pretty late in the evening we decided to stay in the main town of the island and “simply” had a gorgeous dinner while going early to bed. The next days were packed with activities…
