The Beach and The Nuns

Well, it worked out for me to go for a wee travel to round out this year. And so another missionary and I have been travelling southern Negros for the last few days. Starting off here in Dumagette on the harbor.

There's this amazingly hilarious statue on the sea walk, of the nuns arriving on the boat from France. Only they don't seem to have a united front. One is evangelizing the sharks while the back one seems to be trying to keep it at bay. The middle one seems to be hailing a tricycle.


We hiked way up into the jungle to see the lighthouse, and we were not so impressed. It looks like a fat street lamp!

And then we found the old one, which slightly redeemed the journey.

This is the spot we stayed at, looks rough I know! But unfortunately Lonely Planet told us this beach was gorgeous white sand, and what's actually true is that it is white shell and rock! Sore feet! I wrapped my camera bag in plastic and climbed all the way out to the giant rock below to catch this picture.



Sunset behind the Black Rock, rather unlike the one on Lost.

Glorious skies!


The uninhabited side of Apo Island.


We found this awesome spot to spend the afternoon on the river! It felt just like a summer day in BC, except for the palm trees!

Looking good, feeling good!
