I'll start off then

That#1 looks so familiar.
It could be one of hundreds of places but I really put my best guess for one of the Caramoan coves, maybe Gota, Hunognan or Matukad Island
If I'm pushed I'll go for Gota Beach simply because it seems loads of folks end up there.

Then the easier ones (imo)

#6 Camiguin Island (Marks the 'Sunken Cemetery'

#8 My best guess would be Vigan

Terpe

Is #9 El Nido Palawan?

Give us a clue?

Ako Si Jamie

26th January 2013, 19:18

Sorry Terpe that was a crap clue.

It's a beach with a mountain in the background but just want the name of the island.

The island is fairly large in Philippines terms and is knowable.

Terpe

26th January 2013, 19:25

#3
I have to be honest and say I don't recognise it at all and I've never been there but I do known where it is.
I found out by purely by accident. Bet you know how?

If you want me to reveal it I can do or just leave it for others to try.

I'm still puzzled by that darn mountain, it really looks like Mt Apo. :NoNo:

Ako Si Jamie

26th January 2013, 21:49

If you know it Terpe, say it. It's the hardest out of all of them I would say. Not sure how you know it if you haven't been there though. :wink:

Jamesey you got #7 which is Dumaguete

Terpe

26th January 2013, 22:06

If you know it Terpe, say it. It's the hardest out of all of them I would say. Not sure how you know it if you haven't been there though. :wink:

Clues.

5. It takes a lot less time if you go by boat than road, going from Manila

10. I think it's in the top 25 of largest islands in the Philippines. Maybe the top 20 even. One of the airlines goes there from Manila. Not 100% sure but I think its Zest. This beach is the best on the island but just need the name of the island. One of the biggest festivals in the Philippines is held there annually.

:icon_sorry: I've been unable to name any of the places in the photos you've provided, Jamie. Guess I need to get around more next time I visit the Philippines.

Anyway, my friend ... the MAIN purpose of this post is to wish you and Maria a lovely holiday when you go back there next week. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Bon Voyage ... take care & have a safe and pleasant journey. :airline:I only mentioned in one post a couple of days ago that I was going next week so I'm surprised anyone has picked up on it.

Speaks volumes of you Arthur. Thanks for the kind comment and much appreciated. You're a gent! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
