- While we arrived on November 2nd, 2010 with AirAsia from Brunei and Sabah at Clark near Angeles – the former American air
- force base situated 40 miles North of Manila – our LandCruiser reached its destination port of Subic Bay – a previous American
- naval base – already the day before. It arrived in its 20th container from Lae in Papua Neuguinea shipped by the vessel "Pacific
- Navigator" of the Swire Shipping Line's "Tasman Orient". But it takes another four days until it gets freed from its cage. And still
- then we haven't been allowed to leave the "Subic Bay Free Zone". Only after we received the latest paperwork from Manila and
- paid the highest port and car release charges ever of US$1'365 (without freight), we were allowed to cross the customs check
- point of Olangapo. In was on November 11th.
- Because we explored already two years ago with a rental car the North of the main island of Luzon – while our car was sailing
- from Hong Kong to New Zealand – we decided to discover now firstly the South. Hence, ro-ro-ferries shipped us from Southern
- Luzon via the islands of Mindoro, Panay to Negros, where we currently spend the last days of the ending year 2010 at Sipalay.
- Beginning of 2011, we shall visit Cebu and Bohol, the next islands of the 'Visaya Group', before returning to the North by the
- islands of Leyte and Samar.
- On January 31st, 2011, our Toyota will leave for another sea journey: To Sri Lanka, our 169th country. We shall fly the next day
- with Seair, the newest Filipino budget airline, from Clark to Singapore. Where we shall spend the following three weeks, until the
- freighter arrives in Colombo around February 22nd, is still an open question.Till then we wish everybody a Merry Christmas and
- a Happy New Year!
