We got up late and then decided we would hire another motorbike and make the trip up to the rock pools. This plan was last minute and didn’t work out. Ben, our motor bike bloke, was out surfing someplace and nobody knew where, the XRM had been hired by another Aussie and was out for…
Morning Yoga Session We got up reasonably early so that I could fill up the bike and return it to Ben. Afterwards we made our way over to a yoga place that we had seen the day before. Mum, Christine and I were the only participants. Having said that, it was exactly what we needed,…
I went out early to collect the XRM bike, this is a farm type motor bike and as such it had a fair bit more go in it than the scooter. I collected Christine and we rode out to the wet markets to drop the clothes and books to Angelo so that he could take…
Flo contacted us early to see if we wanted to go out on the boats for an Island tour. We said count us in, we got organised in record time and made our way out to the launch site, which was just in front of the wet markets. Christine and Scotty were starting to come…
The Mission This was a super interesting day. Everyone was starting to run low on cash and having been rorted blind in Australia when trying to exchange money, we decided that we would make it our mission to hunt down the best deal that we could.

Morning Surf Session We sent a message to Flo to find out when everyone wanted to meet up for a surf. When we didn’t receive a response, we ate some breakfast and then made our way over to Ocean 101. When we arrived we found that Scotty and Flo had already gone out. We made…
Philippines Time We were up nice and early so that we would be ready to meet the van to take us to the airport. We had arranged with Andy for a 5am pickup which would give us enough time to finish the checkin process and catch our flight to Siargao. We made our way down…
The back story It was New Years eve 2022 and we were all down at Currumbin to catch up with the surf crew for a New Years eve surf and some dinner. It has been a bit of a tradition for many years to finish and start the New Year in the way that you…
Not long ago I started dating a lady by the name of Christine, who suggested that Australia was actually larger than I realised, apparently there was more land north of Noosa, I know I didn’t really believe it either, but bear with me. She suggested that there was actually a lot more land north of…
