<div style="text-align: center;">
First off I need to apologize for being so late in posting/updating my blog. I have had many friends and faithful followers over the years wonder what the hell happened to me! Considering my last post was when I was still in Singapore in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After leaving Singapore my plan was to hit Thailand before heading back to pick up Fred in Switzerland. Followed by my ride too Southern Europe crossing over into Morocco to tackle Africa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well a lot has changed since then. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the greatest thing about it is through my travels I have learnt I can make momentus changes at the drop of a hat and never look back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what has happened? Well first off the world is truly small......Who would of thought I would run into my friend and fellow world moto traveller Frankie in of all places Thailand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKEKoWjpULXIfuIVJO3g67Z82mrsX56qInme83ihtqpsVQSLlX86J1lbK8iTVOXqYJTtEbBcgWEl-_8PlRqDGbT3Jc2N-yvADvuc3qKVaBlGQ9gRHMVEjev0g80zlpFwcbiTW4vVEa18V/s1600/IMG_20160304_105615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKEKoWjpULXIfuIVJO3g67Z82mrsX56qInme83ihtqpsVQSLlX86J1lbK8iTVOXqYJTtEbBcgWEl-_8PlRqDGbT3Jc2N-yvADvuc3qKVaBlGQ9gRHMVEjev0g80zlpFwcbiTW4vVEa18V/s320/IMG_20160304_105615.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last time I saw Frankie was two years prior as we crossed with our motorcycles on a sailboat from Central to South America. I also had the chance to meet his good friend Dinna who is also a avid world moto rider! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After leaving Thailand it was time to be reunited with Fred once again. I cannot thank my good friend Georg enough for storing Fred over the winter. You are a true friend and I look forward to hearing about you adventures in Iceland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok so here is where the plans changed. As mentioned prior I was to be heading south from Switzerland towards Morocco. But while at Georgs' I realized I could no longer put off the hand surgery I badly needed, especially if I wanted to tackle the challenging off road found in Morocco.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVrA-6RqkK2kN5jXPdTvruh5bo2A50i-8tBAXmdFcAUGBTshGMX24gbLH_stwQVJNa0C-v8sJo6F9GlV_p731k_c6SeRJ-0uJE4FsbKA6BSc6rWxUiBk5Cc3VJW17O7YNnCv_5SDZK3UZ/s1600/DSCF5783.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVrA-6RqkK2kN5jXPdTvruh5bo2A50i-8tBAXmdFcAUGBTshGMX24gbLH_stwQVJNa0C-v8sJo6F9GlV_p731k_c6SeRJ-0uJE4FsbKA6BSc6rWxUiBk5Cc3VJW17O7YNnCv_5SDZK3UZ/s320/DSCF5783.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems I have something called trigger finger and I can no longer bend my pinky back. Eventually it will close-in completely. Not the greatest thing to have when you need all the dexterity you can muster for riding off road. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I made a last minute decision that I would head back to Canada for surgery via France.</div>

Now I also had another big decision to make........What would I do with Fed and what about Africa?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember earlier I said change is easy. So I did exactly that...... not only did I decide to come back home for surgery but I would also be shipping Fred home! </div>

But what about Africa and the rest of my adventure? After 4 years around the world two things have become apparent for me. I run toward change not away from it and I have been bittern by the adventure bug. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And what may the next adventure be! Well I have deiced to go around the world a second time from Canada too Alaska crossing over into Russia then heading south through Mongolia and Central Asia eventually landing in Africa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you have not been to Singapore you may be unaware that the city is actually growing in size. This is directly attributed to the building out of the land and Islands. A prime example is the island of Sentosa which has been expanded and developed.</div>

You will see these signs throughout the city in various forms. It shows how important English is to the forward progress of Singapore. Singapore is a major financial and transportation hub and English is the international business language. The government is trying very hard to eliminate what they call Singlish and get people to talk proper English.</div>

It was time for another ferry ride to another Island. This time I decided on taking the later ferry from the town of Larena on Siguiqor to the island of Bohol. The ride would last about 3 hours and arrive if all went well at around 10:30pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first though I needed to get a ticket. My thinking was the early bird gets the worm. So if I showed up a 9am to get a ticket it should be no problem since the boat does not leave until 7pm. Plus they only sell the tickets on the day of departure.</div>

There are three levels of seating: the first being basic (just a seat), the second economy (a sleeper bunk no air) and the third tourist class (sleeper bunk with air con). All I wanted was a basic since it would only be 7pm and I was not planning to need to sleep on the voyage.</div>

Now remember this is only 9am in the morning and as I waited in a very small lineup I was able to strike up a conversation with a Tourist policeman. During our conversation he asked where I was going and said "no problem getting a ticket it is never full". So when I approached the window and asked for the basic I was told "sorry sir all those seats are sold out" Seriously? How is that possible there is know one here. Fine I will take the next priced level of economy "oh, sorry sir that level is sold out as well, but we do have Tourist class left". </div>

There is a natural spring that comes from beneath the tree. The spring is full of the cleaner fish that love to eat the dead skin off your feet. You pay big bucks in fancy spas to have this done.

One of the reason for my decision to come to the Philippines was the positive articles I read about getting visa extensions in this country. I have been all over the world and had to get many extensions and most are a right pain in the arse. True to what I read it was by far the easiest and friendliest immigration office I have ever dealt with. So, I am good for one more month and then it is time for the big extension which includes getting my AR card (Alien Residency).</div>

I know this is a big taboo back in North America about having xmas decorations out before remembrance day or Halloween. But here in the Philippines it is full on already and it is only the middle of October. The malls are full of decorations and xmas music is being pumped over the sound systems everywhere. For me I have no issues with this as I have been in countries over the past few years that do not celebrate xmas. This makes me feel closer to home so I am enjoying the moment while I can.</div>

Some useless facts about the Philippines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other than their native tagalog language English is spoken everywhere. But what is interesting is that they count in Spanish along with the days of the week and months as well being in Spanish. This all stems from this country being occupied by other countries for the majority of its existence.</div>

I think most people have seen the giant schools of Sardines on National Geographic. They used to be found off of Pescador Island. This meant taking a boat out in order to dive with them. </div>

But for some reason the Sardines had decided to move 50 metres off shore of Panagsama beach. So now it is a simple two minute snorkel off the beach and you will find them hanging along the sea wall. I do not have a under water camera so I snagged these pics off the internet. But this is exactly what you will see when diving or snorkelling. It is really cool how they just surround you and make these amazing patterns as they flow by.</div>

This area is famous for snorkelling or diving with the majestic Whale sharks. There is no reason to scuba as these giants are just off shore like the Sardines. I so damn wish I had a camera!!!!!!! As it was truly a memorable experience and a high recommendation if coming to the Philippines.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the ferry ride back to Cebu Island I needed to get to the port town of Maya to catch a Bangka (local boat) to the Island of Malapascua. This consisted of a short Tri-moto ride to the main intersection where I hopped on a local bus to the port town. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The drivers of these Bangkas are know as the Maya Pirates as they have a horrible reputation for scamming tourists by significantly over charging. I was well prepared and new of all the scams they try. One scam is they will tell you there are no boats going (not enough people) so they will make a special trip (1500php). After you get on and pay, all of a sudden they will load all the locals (100php) and the boat is full. There is know way in hell you will get your money back. This is the exact thing they tried with myself and two Chinese tourists. He tried to tell me that the next boat was for only locals. I called the guy out on his bullshit and told him I was aware of his scam. I said I will wait and board with all the locals who are standing around and that the going rate is 100php. </div>

It is times like these that I also get ticked off at the naive 2 week tourist who just throws money at these guys without questioning them and doing any prior research. It is these two week tourists that feed this corruption because they are just plain stupid and have more money than brains.</div>

After a few days in Cebu it was time for another island. There are over 7000 islands to choose from in the Philippines (should keep my wanderlust busy) so making a decision can be hard. I finally decided on the tiny Island of Bantayan off the northwest tip of Cebu. </div>

As with my experience with other developing countries finding proper departure times can be a bit of a challenge. I showed up at the terminal for 7am and hoped to hop on the luxury Aircon/Wifi/Direct bus. I soon found out there was only one and it did not leave until 10am. But there was a 7:30 standard bus leaving to the port of Hagnaya. So, instead of waiting around for two hours I decided to go old school and grab the multiple stop/non aircon (windows open) bus. What the hell it would only take 3 1/2 hours to get to the port and if it is good enough for the locals it is good enough for me.</div>

This could be a scene from the movie the Hobbit with me on what I swear was a pony. But Ingrid assured me it was a real horse haha. We laughed so hard as she was like Geldor on her giant horse and I was like Baggens on my little pony.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I needed to fix my pannier and what better place than Branko's shop. Everything you need to work on a motorcycle was at hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it seems like I will have to visit Holland again as I still have other friends which I did not get a chance to see.</div>

We all know the Dutch are know for bicycles but you do not realize until you get there how bike crazy they are. Absolutely everywhere is dedicated to bicycles and the paths are not only found in the city but even in the country crossing farmers fields. We have multi story parking for vehicles and they have them for bicycles. </div>

And of course please do not forget to visit the Red Light district! That is about as Amsterdam as you can get. </div>

Before I go into the sites of Prague I have some shitty news. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems once again some low life has stolen something from me. It seems to be an annual occurrence for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Year 1 it was a computer in my room in Guatemala; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Year 2 money from my room in Malaysia </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Year 3 my helmet in Prague.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time it happened right in the hotel parking lot where my helmet was secured with a lock and cable to my bike. You think this might happen if I left it like that over night. But no this happened a 6pm as I was able to deduce from the video surveillance camera footage. The little shit really wanted my helmet as he brought cable cutters with him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After leaving Bosnia I decided to skip the rest of the coast of Croatia and head for the pine trees and fresh water lakes. I just seem to enjoy the wooded areas more than the barren coast along the sea board. It probably comes from growing up surrounded by lakes and forests back home and memories of camping.</div>

And to date the camping has been great. I have been treating myself and staying in full on campsites rather than stealth backwoods camping. The campsites usually have a restaurant, wifi, market and sometimes entertainment. This group was performing and singing traditional songs for the campers.</div>

Another great reason to camp are the people you get to meet.Campgrounds are very much like hostels. It just seems that people who camp are just that much more inclined to want to meet other people. </div>

You can tell summer vacation is in full swing when you hit the borders and see the line-up of cars. The border crossing between Croatia and Bosnia heading towards Mostar had the longest lines to date. The sole reason for this is there is only one lane for entry and exit in both directions. </div>

In the picture above I have just exited the Croatia side. Now I only have about 20 cars ahead to the Bosnia crossing. This does not seem like a lot but it still took 40 mins in 38 degree temperatures to go about a 100 meters. What you do not see is the 2km line-up behind me!!!!! Now once again it rocks to ride a motorcycle as we just ride by the line up of cars straight to the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The line up for cars was at least a 3 hour wait.</div>
