How far did I travel this week?:

The furthest I traveled this week was from Cebu City to Kalaggaman Island, which took about 3 hours on a ferry, then a 1 hour drive from Ormoc to Palompon, and then another hour long boat ride from that pier to Kalaggaman. This sort of traveling was spread out over 3 days, so it wasn't actually as hectic as it sounds!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I traveled 2,572 kilometers (1,590 miles) from Bangkok, Thailand to Cebu, Philippines. From there I traveled 74 km (46 mi) from Cebu City to Tagbilaran City on the island of Bohol. I only traveled on half the island of Bohol. Then I went to the island of Leyte to go to the small but gorgeous island of Kalanggaman, which was about 98 km (61 mi) from Cebu City. Lastly, I flew north from Cebu to Manila whch was about 570 km (354 mi). I spent a few days in Manila before flying back to Bangkok.

How did I get around this week?:

Mainly on motorcycle with my professional biker friend, Jake! When I wasn't riding motorcycles, I used the ferry or a taxi. In Palompon, Joann and I used the local bike taxi also known as a "cycle rickshaw" which is popular in some parts of Asia.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited was Bohol! I really love this island.
