My world walk blog - The Philippines #5
The Philippines #5
Based on my Facebook posts. Please read up from #1 to here.
Francis
shouted out that there was a snake on the ground just in fromt of me!
Charmer that I am, at least snake charmer I picked it up. It was a
non-venemous dead Hanlulukay snake. We shot a fun video. We walked along
with Francis carrying the snake. When we stopped for lunch at a trendy
restaurant he left it on a counter top much to the startled surprise of a
customer. 
That
day we covered 28 kilometres and when we got to Balambam I stepped
into the sea to compete our walk across the Philippines from east to
west. There we were greatly helped by Francis's friend Peter who kindly
put us up for the night in his lovely house. Thanks a million Peter and
also to his son Darien for picking us up on his motorcycle and taking us
to their house.
We stayed there that night and
were thankful for the great hospitality, laundry and the following
morning for a lift back to Cebu from one of Peters friends.
Thank
you from the bottom of my heart to my host, walking companion and
friend Francis Cosgrave. Also to his wife Nida and their three children.
Teenage daughter Norlisa who is a beautiful choir singer. I enjoyed
meeting the family and telling them many travel, running and walking
yarns. Thanks also to their two young sons who are both talented runners
called Anthony and Tony! Yes, they found a novel way to name both of
their two sons after Francis's father Tony! So good they honoured him
twice!
