People who don't post!!
Well it's not really a full blown rant, but it would be nice if some of the readers just posted the odd HELLO ;D

Hi guys, I'm in cebu at the moment. 2nd time I've been here this year , not really a lot to do after you visit the usual places. Going to Layte this Sunday, any advice from anyone that has been there before, i.e places worth visiting.
Also any suggestions about where to go after layte, I would like to see a few places before heading back to manila,
Gerry

Take a look at our website Click Here as we have many pictures of Tacloban and surronding area.
I dunno if you have a hotel arranged but avoid the ones sited on the main street - its so noisy there - if you can afford it, go for Alejandro's in a quiet part of town.
Have fun!

Thanks for that Walesrob, I'm looking at staying in the Layte Park, is it ok and is it near things ?
Liked your site and I had planned on visiting the MacArthur landing site as per your photo.
Bad news that you can't fly from cebu to tacloban, I could take a boat to Ormoc and then a 2 hour drive to tacloban but have decided to fly to Manila and then fly back to tacloban, it's just as cheap but more comfortable.!!
thanks

Leyte Park is actually a resort with its own beach, grounds and cafes/bars, etc. It is luxury - on par with what we would regard as 4 star quality but incredible cheap prices!! It's a short tricycle ride from the town centre itself, but its lovely and quiet there.
Flying to Tacloban via Manila, wow!! I could tell you a story - Elsa and I flew Manila to Tacloban, but we had to divert to Cebu due to bad weather, and we had the option of either disembarking at Cebu or returning to Manila - we chose Cebu (with the plan to get Hydrofoil Cebu - Ormoc then bus to Tacloban), and it took us 28 hours to get to Tacloban thanks to a combination of bad weather and a very slow ferry. To this day, I refuse to fly Cebu Pacific ever again - somehow PAL seem a safer bet.
I've got a picture somewhere of a Cebu Pacific DC9 leaking water all over the tarmac at Tacloban airport :o :blink: :o
Enjoy your trip - also look out for Sohoton Natural Bridge Park - full of caves, cascades, waterfalls, monkeys & all kinds of wildlife, its really a beautiful little place. You need to get a jeepney to Basey and call into CENRO - they will organise everything for you.

Pete thanks for that... so many choices !!! I've just came from cebu so that reduces it by one !! What about Samar ?
I couldn't get into the Layte park on the first day so booked into the MacArthur park the noise from the generators was unbelievable, left the next day and managed this time to get into the Layte park, I'm in their pool villa, my own private swimming pool whick looks over the water to the mountains, a view to die for, absolute paradise, I'll probably stay here longer than I normally would. The manager (american) got 2 of his female staff to take me out last evening and show me around... very nice. I could easily stay here for the 11 days that I have left but should really see more places.
I'll try and upload a photo later to let you see the what I mean.
After here, anywhere else is going to be a letdown. :unsure:

No luck with uploading the pic, anyway I'm staying here in Tacloban for another 5 days as it is so good. Met a group of filipinos last night, ended up at their home for a family birthday, so many people and all really very friendly.
The only hassle is that there are no taxis in tacloban and those tricycle rides are a bit bumpy :o

Yeah thats the odd thing about Tacloban - no proper "Car" taxis, only tricycles....why is that?!! There's no problem with transport to or from the airport - usually a hotel can book a van or they may even have their own - as in Alejandro's.

not many places really, went to the bridge ( largest in Leyte or the phils I think)
You'll notice as well that Tacloban is Imelda Marcos heartland, so people will tell you how great she is/was and she's done no wrong and how she's done a lot for the Philippines....I heard this so much everytime I go there, and I wonder if they are talking about the same Imelda Marcos that plundered the country for millions...a bit like saying Maggie Thatch was a saint :o ...Politics is a funny thing

yes that's about right, there's even a placque at the layte as she was there to celebrate the opening. Had to leave tacloban today to return to manila which was disappointing but this is my last 2 days in the phils :( would you believe it a girl that I was seeing in tacloban has followed me to Manila !!! She asked if I would bring her with me, I couldn't and didn't want to, then last night she texts to say that she has a ticket to manila and yes she is here !!!!

Rob if you don't mind spending a bit, I can definetly reccomend staying in the layte park but you really should try and get pool villa 2, it's the best room/villa in tacloban. I hope you have a great time when you get there, I'm sure you already know, but if not, the best restaurents are Guiseppes for italian food and 4/5 doors away is Stephanies which is great for filipino food, both are opposite the Divine hospital. The only downside is that there is no internet in the rooms which meant that I couldn't get access to betfair in the evenings which would've paid for my trip but it meant that I had more time to relax and enjoy myself. I may go back to Tacloban at Xmas as it was that good for me.
One more question, I was there and met a young english guy that was meeting a girl that he had been writing to, I just met somewhere there, both girls had chaperones which is ok by me and him but later on we were chatting and both had the same thing happen to us, when alone both girls insisted on not using condoms !!! Both didn't seem to mind about getting pregnant even though I was very clear that I didn't want marriage or kids yet, crazy !! Or do you think that they thought we would change our minds if it actually did happen. Ever experienced that ??

A light skinned baby is a real status symbol in the Philippines. Even better if you stick around to marry her after being 'reeled in' by the oldest trick in the book.

I dunno about the girl, but I think she's fallen for you big time. Condoms are a taboo subject in Philippines...maybe its the Catholic guilt thing?
Anyway have a safe trip home to sunny and warm UK :lol: Its always depressing coming home I know....

Gerry, just out of interest how much did it cost to stay at Leyte Park? I think Elsa and I may just stay there...last time we went they were booked out, so I'm gonna start looking ready for later this year.

Simple solution if they don't believe in condoms......cling film & an elastic band :huh:
I wouldn't go humping strange women out there. A few minutes of fun could be giving you a death sentence.
I was lucky with my missus being in Singapore, as they get a health check for Aids, STD's, etc every 6 months, and she was a virgin anywayRegards,
