Maasin, Leyte, Philippines 8th March 2009

Our ferry journey here was a pleasant surprise. The ferry was modern and fast.

After arriving in Ormoc, we had a bit of a search and eventually found ourselves a bus (of sorts) to Maasin. This bus was just what I had been expecting, packed to the gills with people and parcels, but it was pretty quick (mainly thanks to the kamikaze driver).

Maasin is nice. Just a normal Philippino town. And no tourists (except us of course).

Found a really great place to stay, Ampil Pensionne, run by a really lovely lady called Tata.

We have also discovered that Philippinos love fast food. This seems to be all they eat! We are already done with Pizza, burgers and fried chicken and we've only been here a couple of days!
