7:00am; let the day begin. Rough morning for a few today who woke up feeling under the weather. Decidedly splitting into two groups; one opting to spend the morning resting up, becoming rather well acquainted with our good mate John (the toilet..); and the other headed out to a rather 'exhilarating' chapel service. Anyhow; as... Continue Reading →
Beginning our final day in Cabacungan we joined the local church community in their service. After worship we made our own contribution with the performance of a ‘do whop’ version of ‘Amazing Grace’ by the freshly formed, makeshift SCEA Choir. Pastor Pickles (the Ellenbrook chaplain) delivered the sermon and Devlin & Mark bravely shared their... Continue Reading →
Today we started up the morning with an early breakfast (once again) and took a walk to Pastor Ely’s church for a church service. This meant that the start to the day was full of praise and worship that woke many of us up (thanks to the late night chats the day before). Mark and... Continue Reading →
This morning we were treated to a lovely 8am sleep in. We headed to breakfast where we had eggs, rice and hotdogs. The egg was hard to stomach for those who ate balut the night before.

Day 8 This morning we were meant to have a sleep in till 7:30, but Georgie got excited with her morning song that she sings to us outside our door to wake us up each morning. Sooo....we were up at 7:15, fun. After breakfast we then went to the wet & dry markets in town... Continue Reading →

Unfortunately Brodie and Pricey seemed to have it the worst and so they stayed back and didn't come island... Continue Reading →
With D-day over we were happy to wake up a little bit later (0700 hrs), to see the ever present volcano in all its glory. To our delight we found plates full of bacon, french-toast, rice and bowls of maple syrup waiting for us. Within minutes of eating the food was completely gone. To our... Continue Reading →
We woke up pleased and excited with the smell of bacon filling our rooms. Our first meal after Lugaw day was everything we wanted as we all stood; staring at the plates of the crispy bacon and delicious French toast that was prepared for us. It wasn’t long before those plates were all cleared completely... Continue Reading →
Today we all woke up with George standing outside with the cheesiest “good morning!” Once we were awake we could just hear her voice going door to door! But the only thing that was on our mind was FOOD! All we wanted was to have a nice filling breakie! Normally we would take the bus... Continue Reading →
