This trip took us about a year before our wedding. My wife had the present urgent need me, "the foreigners" and to her family, I wanted to know where and how they had lived before they went to Manila. She had no pictures from there, but it has a lot to me so I told me a rough picture of what was there I would expect.
With the accommodation we have no problems so she said to me, because the house where her family lives among her half.
So, we made our way to Sibuyan!
First brought us a big Bangka from Puerto Galera after Batangas (approx. one hour). Then we waited there on the ferry (which are old river boat) from China, up 17 clock should sit. Philppinotime After we have submitted on time by 18 clock from the south south-east. Thus it was a night on the ferry Sleeps shortages were true, so that sleep was not to think.

It was a beautiful sunset and our luk we had calm seas. But a queasy feeling I had but, given us just before we reached take off the message that a ferry of the same type just before Rombloon, the neighboring island of Sibuyan, had sunk with more than 100 dead.
Finally the next day at 10 clock in the island was visible after a short stopover on the main island of Romblon.
Here is the pier for the ferry
Mother and daughter do after a long time back in the arms, the joy was great
Mother and her beloved stepfather so hot u ns father had expected, and also transport to their Hometown cajidiocan organized. It went with the Jeepney ca. 2 hours astonishingly good jungle runway there.
But we were not at goal. After a ride on the Trycycle up on the edge of the jungle we went on foot, through a jungle, and of course had a lot to offer. It was make up and we had to cross a river twice. Fortunately, her brothers were there and took our luggage on his shoulder. I admired the young men how to deal with luggage also mastered the most difficult jobs and I sometimes said to me: on all fours come here you better progress. By the river, I was suddenly on the shoulder taken. Understandably which unfortunately I have no pictures.
They told me that the river at the moment still have low water, but they also had problems when he has flood.
The jungle was thick and I always thought, the way has never been an end
Until then, we finally reached the village and I only felt after a drink was. Since I do not always understand (they all spoke Tagalog) I sat in a shady place and rested a little from me.
This is Aileen mother, who enjoys a very hand-cigar (of course material from the bush) smokes. Otherwise they are very happy to get to know me, but did not ask her many gifts to grandchildren.
Well, Junior's enough here. No wonder I thought, because in the house except my future parents in law (they have a generator to Aileen has donated time and in the evening about 2 hours running) have no electricity yet another TV and a mobile phone uses nothing, because there is no signal up there.
Such a Covered Location is the right place at the midday heat in a little sleep
After only three days we had back then, because my leave was finished. Back down into the valley and once again enjoy the beautiful nature.
After stopover in Romblon then to Batangas and Mindoro
After this trip I said to myself: You have met many new people, have seen and experienced things that a normal tourist never see or experience but for only three days, I would stress again not to take me.
Salamat for staying in Sibuyan, Salamat to the family
