This morning the walk was to the bakery on the National Highway to buy pandesal.

On the way back, one of the residents had already placed a table by the road and offered a rice speciality made of glutinous rice with a chocolate sauce. This speciality has the most diverse names in the different regions of the country.

It looks like it tasted good to Gerlinda.

Almost full moon right in front of the house. That was last night.

This morning started with thunder rumbling in the distance, a few small showers over the sea and thick clouds on the mountain side.

So the morning started without a walk, I had my first coffee straight away and Gerlinda got to work in her flower workshop behind the house.

I was then allowed to take a few of the heavy pots to some of the places for a test run.

Finally, some of Gerlinda’s tools from the flower workshop.

It’s Sunday and today, for once, no morning walk. Instead, we had an early breakfast.

As an amusement, the neighbour and his bull did an interlude with a bath in the sea for us, during which I left my breakfast and ran outside with my camera.

Then a few pictures of where Gerlinda left her mark in the garden area through fruit trees, plants and flowers.

Yesterday we had planned a visit to Sibulan for filming and were able to do it. We also paid a visit to the well-known Jo’s Chicken Restaurant. The restaurant is located between the National Highway and the sea. From the shore, you can very well look over the short distance to the southern tip of Cebu.

This morning we went for our walk, hunting for some onions. The ones we found were small and cost 7 pesos each. Back home, the electricity had already been switched off for this Saturday and it was not supposed to come back until around 5 pm.

Actually, I wanted to edit the video about Sibulan today. But then I had to reschedule. So we set off to explore the hinterland of Dauin a bit more. I had heard about a steel bridge painted yellow and we found it.

Afterwards, I wanted to visit the drinking water reservoir, but unfortunately we unknowingly drove past the unsigned dirt road and I didn’t want to drive up the mountain again.

So we visited Dauin with its municipality hall, plaza, church and public beach. The church was locked, but two young people from the church community had keys and gave me a special tour of the newly renovated church of Dauin, with the lights on, which made it shine in a special way. Last but not least, I was escorted to the top of the church tower. So high I didn’t venture out, that’s not for me.

After waking up, the view from the bedroom over the sea.

After returning from the morning walk and breakfast, we are ready to check out the place Sibulan.

Sibulan is a pretty, lively place with a municipality hall, opposite which is Rizal Park, which replaces the plaza here with a modern tourist building, a playground also in use, the beautiful church. There I could watch how the wax from burnt candles is recycled. Next to it, two piers for ferries over to Liloan, Cebu. Of course, I also visited the small, lively market.

Then Jo’s Chicken and the garden area opposite with the statue of the Virgin Mary, but that’s another series of photos.

In the early afternoon we were back home and there was one of the diving boats right in front of us that you can walk over to.
