Day 1 – December 6

Our decision is our decision. And it’s firm and final. Next winter, our plane will spread its great wings toward the island of Ceylon! "Wait a minute... Ceylon... Ceylon... that name rings a bell, but I can’t quite place it on the globe Grandma gave me for Christmas! Ceylon... Oh right, I’ve got it: Ceylon is the name of my tea!" Exactly. But the name on your pretty tea box is also the one used until 1972 for this island nation, a speck on the Indian Ocean at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent: Sri Lanka!

For this new adventure, I’m exceptionally leaving my Flo behind, cowardly replaced by a double dose of testosterone. To write the book of this journey with me, I’m bringing along my brother, who’s used to this kind of thing, and... a guest star: My model of resilience. My dad! All aboard! Or rather, all aboard our tuk-tuk! Yes, you read that right: A real tuk-tuk, a little colorful rolling box that putters along at two miles an hour. The idea? Well, Sri Lanka and its winding roads overlooking the vastness of lush nature are tailor-made for this kind of vehicle. And since it’s one of only two countries in the world that allow foreigners to rent and drive these mini speedsters, we’ll be crisscrossing the island in our two-square-meter rolling box. Plus, adopting this mode of transport is a surefire way to connect directly with the locals, who’ll surely be curious to see a foreigner driving their iconic vehicle. Not to mention the... let’s say... spicy anecdotes it might generate. I mean, heading into a subtropical zone with my jet-black dad and his unpredictable digestive flora while deliberately choosing the tuk-tuk as our *only* means of transport? That’s the winning combo for an unforgettable adventure! "More seriously, Dad, Sullivan, I’m already loving the idea of living this adventure together, the three of us—brothers and father..."

So, does the intro to this new adventure get your salivary glands going? Yes? Too bad. Because unfortunately, the program handed out by the lady at the entrance has been slightly... let’s say *crumpled*. Some might even say "scrunched up and nearly tossed in the trash." First, six days ago, as the countdown echoed in us like a call to adventure, Cyclone Ditwah grabbed Sri Lanka, played with it like a rag doll, and left it battered on the ground. The toll is devastating: over a thousand dead, thousands of homes wiped out by relentless rains, roads and railways swallowed by massive mudslides. A country wounded once again, after the civil war, the 2004 tsunami, and the post-Covid economic crisis.

But as if this weather disaster wasn’t enough to shake our unbreakable adventurer spirit, fate decided to mess with us further by cutting our trio down to two. The victim? My brother, violently turned away because of a simple date on his passport that didn’t match the border officials’ expectations. Return to sender!

So now it’s just the two of us allowed to board the Qatar Airways Airbus A380 for this trip. If he were here, Denis Brognart would say, "And in the end, only one remains!" Except I know you’ll be with us, following our adventures! Right?

Hey everyone,

My plan for next November is to head back (yet again) to the Annapurnas to complete a route I’d always promised myself I’d do one day. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Start from Sikles and join the Annapurna Circuit by first going through Kori, then the Namun La (or Namun Bhanjyang). It’s a bit of a forgotten route, and I haven’t found much info on it—no .gpx files or firsthand accounts. Still, I’ve roughly mapped it out using different sources.

2. After that, I plan to head up to Phu to do the direct Phu Pass/Naar Pass traverse to Naar. It’s doable in 2 days, but why not in 1 if the weather’s good and I set off early enough?

3. Finally, I’ll head toward the Mesokanto North Pass (after a short camp at Tilicho North BC) to descend the entire Gandaki Valley down to Nayapul.

I’m obviously looking for any tips or feedback (if you’ve got any), and maybe a travel buddy who’s up for a little off-the-beaten-path adventure. 😄

Hello!

My wife and I (Quebecers, 63 years old, retired, celebrating our 45 years together this year, including 20 years of marriage) have chosen to mark the occasion with a trip to Dubai, Réunion, and Mauritius (4 days in Dubai, then 24 days on the islands).

We have a lot of experience planning road trips (scouting routes, visits, hotels, and restaurants of interest), but we travel without reservations to keep the freedom to follow our instincts and tips we get on the spot. We’re moderately active physically and prefer the countryside and beaches over big cities. Our only fixed dates: arrival in Réunion on October 5th and departure from Mauritius on October 29th.

After lots of reading and with the help of an AI (super useful for drafting a first outline!), here’s a possible itinerary framework. Nothing is set in stone—I’d love your suggestions, comments, and thoughts on what’s worth adding or avoiding. Are the proposed bases optimal? Also, if you have recommendations for hotels (mid-range budget of 100–200 euros per night), restaurants, etc., I’m all ears! ;-)

Hi fellow travelers, We're heading to Martinique for a month from mid-January to mid-February. Our plan is to explore the island by staying in three different spots for 10 days each, on both sides of the island... Could you share some great tips on where to stay for an authentic experience and what we absolutely must see?!

Thanks for your help! Voyamie.

Hi everyone,

I’m heading back to Montreal in early November after several years away. I’m so excited! I won’t be staying long, but I’ll have time to wander and explore.

I’d love to get your recommendations for great things to eat—restaurants, bakeries, all kinds of food. I’m open to all your suggestions and addresses. I’ll definitely hit up the market. And eat bagels, of course.

I’ll probably stay in the Quartier des Spectacles, but I’ll definitely be getting around the city.

Thanks in advance!

If you're walking around the southern part of Lake Bourget, you can't escape the noise from a parachuting club's planes. A group of climate skeptics actually takes off in small, very noisy aircraft every 15 minutes over a Natura 2000 classified area. They don’t seem to face any restrictions—neither for noise nor for greenhouse gas emissions. They occupy the airspace without paying fuel taxes or providing carbon compensation to local municipalities or environmental preservation associations, apparently. It sounds surreal, but it’s very real in such an important location.

Hi there. Is there a bus from Cebu to Hagnaya port? (to get to Bantayan). I’ve read about it on blogs, but 12Go only shows me taxis.... I’d heard that buses leave from the North Terminal in Cebu, so I’m looking for accommodation in that area... Any up-to-date info would be great....

Hi there! 🙂

I'm taking it slow—I'm only on day 5 of my Tucson to Bisbee leg.

We'd like to stop in Tombstone along the way. I've spotted Boot Hill Cemetery, the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, and around the visitor center: the O.K. Corral, Tombstone Historama, the Tombstone Epitaph, the Bird Cage Theatre, and the Crystal Palace Saloon. Is everything worth visiting, and is parking easy in Tombstone? If anyone has parking recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance!

As for Bisbee, I've noted the Queen Mine Tour, the Great Bisbee Stairs Climb, and the downtown tour. Outside of town, there's the Lavender Pit. Any other suggestions for things to check out?

Thanks so much! Marcalamar 🙂

Hi,

I'm looking for a train to get to Orly Terminal 4—I'm leaving from Charleroi in Belgium.

Does it seem complicated?

Hi there! I’m heading to Thailand for two months. So I thought I’d get a Thai SIM card to use Google Maps for getting around cities, mostly. Here’s my question: will this SIM affect my apps? Or will they work the same as with my Orange SIM? Is there any setup I need to do, or can I just pop in the Thai SIM? I’d also like to switch back to my Orange SIM now and then while I’m in Thailand—on the same phone. Will I need to reset the phone, or will it reconnect without any issues? Thanks in advance for your tips! Best, Huiclos

Hey everyone, so happy the site is back!

After traveling solo across Iran and the Stan countries from one end to the other,

this time I’m heading to Southeast Asia with my wife and our 3-year-old.

I went to the Philippines almost 10 years ago and actually met some forum members there. It was love at first sight.

I’ve booked tickets from January 10 to March 31 for Bangkok (amazing price from Milan). I was thinking of spending: 3 weeks in Thailand 3 weeks in Vietnam 1 month in the Philippines.

Don’t worry, I won’t spam the forum with a thousand messages asking how to get from point A to point B :)))

I’m reaching out to the experts or regulars here for suggestions and ideas!

For Thailand, Obviously, some beautiful beaches wouldn’t hurt for a bit of relaxation. I was thinking of Koh Phayam or Koh Kood (or Koh Chang). If anyone knows a nice spot, even if it’s not on an island, I’m all ears. It’s tricky to ask this for Thailand, but I’m looking for a bit of tranquility (so I’ll probably avoid Phuket, Koh Samui, etc.). (Though I know sometimes you just need to get off the beaten path to find some peace, but I’m not sure if that’s the case in Thailand.)

Vietnam—I have no idea!! A friend mentioned Danang, which could be a good base to explore the countryside/inland areas.

And the Philippines—I had a huge crush on the country (Bantayan, Dumaguete, Sipalay, Siquijor) and really want to go back, maybe to new places/islands.

I have one constraint: We’ll stay in the same place each time. With a kid, it’s tough to move every 2 days (unlike when I’m solo), and I hope this will let us connect with locals by staying put for 3 weeks at a time. (Plus, my budget is pretty tight, so the idea is to negotiate a good price for 3 weeks in the same accommodation.) (My rough budget is 1000 € per month for the three of us: 450 € for lodging, 450 € for food, and 100 € for a scooter. This doesn’t include boat, bus, etc. transfers.)

If you have any ideas, tips, or experiences to share, I’m all ears! I’m totally open to shortening or extending our stays in each country, even if it means skipping one of the three.

If you're passing through the area (Montreal region), drop us a line in this thread. We’d love to say hello in person, you VFers, and maybe help you enjoy your time in Quebec even more. 😉

For lack of a better option, this is our way of celebrating this big comeback—we’re so happy to see this amazing platform, VoyageForum.com, active again! 🙂

Really looking forward to reconnecting with the regulars who used to contribute here too! 🙂

Right now, on this Friday, October 25th, the cold is starting to set in. Halloween decorations are everywhere. Winter will be back before we know it. 🤪

Bonjour à tous,

L'horaire indiqué sur les billets d'avion correspond-il à l'heure de l'atterrissage, l'arrivée au terminal, ou à la délivrance des bagages et sortie de douane/aéroport ?

Bonjour, Tout est dans le titre. Nous arriverons en Thaïlande le 15 janvier 2021, y resterons 3 semaines puis nous ferons le Cambodge et le Laos avant de revenir vers le 08 mars en Thaïlande pour notre retour en France de Bangkok le 15 mars 2021. De quels visas avons-nous besoin ? Merci d'avance de votre aide et de vos conseils. Bien cordialement. Chris et Ève.

Bonjour ! Avec ma famille, nous avions prévu d'aller à La Réunion du 5 au 29 juin prochain. Or, avec la crise sanitaire actuelle, tout est remis en question ! En cas d'annulation, Puis je me faire rembourser les billets d'avion où aurais je droit à un avoir ? merci à vous pour votre aide !

Bonjour, Je viens de recevoir un guide sur l'Ecosse, commandé dans une autre vie, quand on pouvait voyager.... Je n'ai pas trop le coeur à préparer un itinéraire , mais j'essaye de penser que, quand même, on pourra peut-être bouger, qui sait, en septembre??Si non ce sera une autre année. Les projets pour avril et juin ont été rangés dans les cartons. Nous avions fait un grand tour d'Ecosse mainland et de l'ìle de Skye en 2011 avec notre fourgon aménagé. L'idée, quand on a commandé le guide, c'était de visiter les îles, mais il y en a beaucoup....( pas les Shetland sur ce voyage, trop loin) J'aimerais pouvoir visiter des îles différentes les unes des autres, quelles îles choisir entre celles des Hébrides et des Orcades pour un voyage le plus varié possible ? L'idée serait de partir environ 4-5 semaines, paysages , visites et randos, Lewis et Harris seraient de toute façon au programme, ensuite difficile de compléter le "panier". Des propositions?

Bonjour,

Suite au confinement obligatoire en France, et ne pouvons plus rejoindre l'aéroport et sortir de notre pays je souhaiterais avoir des conseils concernant l'annulation de mes billets d'avion. La Cie Emirates ne semble pas annuler le VOL LYON - DUBAI - DUBAI - BANGKOK le 10 avril et dans ce cas, si j'annule de moi même ma réservation , je perds environ 600 euros (sur 1068 euros payés)... Que me conseillez vous ? Dois je attendre encore qu'EMIRATES décide d'annuler son vol ou bien je me décide à annuler maintenant et perdre plus de la moitié du billet ! Merci de votre aide.

Bonjour,

Je souhaiterai partir seule aux phillipines cet été, Je voulais donc savoir si certain(e) s d'entre vous étaient déjà parties seule, si c'etait dangereux ou non, etc. Je sais que ce n'est pas la meilleire saison, mais j'ai eu des echos positifs malgré tout.. Bref je suis preneuse de toute information si quelqu'in est déjà parti là bas !

Merci !

Bonsoir, j'ai le projet de partir de Bretagne vers le sud en vélo par la voie verte. Je voudrais prendre Nantes et jusqu'a Bordeaux et ensuite suivre le canal pour rejoindre Sète. Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider à faire mon itinéraire? Ce sera la première fois que je pars en vélo aussi loin. Merci pour l'aide que vous voudrez bien m'apporter. Phiphi

Bonjour, Depuis la gare TGV de l'aéroport Charles De Gaulle, aller à Roissy en France pour passer la nuit dans un hôtel et retour le lendemain au terminal 2E est-ce aisément réalisable à vélo sans se retrouver sur des échangeurs mortels ? Quelle application GPS utiliser ? Merci pour vos réponses

Passionate about travel, animals (furry, feathered, scaly), and my partner’s love for photography, it was in 2014, after encountering orangutans in Gunung Leuser National Park in Sumatra, that I felt the urge to see other great apes in their natural habitat and in the wild. For my 40th birthday, I dreamed of only one thing... seeing gorillas. I still had four years to wait and four years to save up.

At the time, I had only heard of the Virunga Mountains, particularly the part in Rwanda. To be honest, Uganda had never really struck me as a destination I’d ever set foot in, and the DRC, for security reasons, didn’t particularly appeal to me.

But then, one day, I heard that Rwanda was going to increase the price of gorilla permits to USD 1,500 per person. Ouch... that seemed way overpriced, especially since we were going as a couple and I really wanted to see them twice. $6,000 for two days... Okay, it’s for my 40th birthday, but still...

At the end of 2017, I started looking more closely into our trip planned for December 2018. A stroke of luck in my schedule meant my former English teacher sent me a link to an article she’d written for her travel agency about her encounter with gorillas in Uganda. Hmm, Uganda? It was the first time I’d read about the country. Why not?

I scoured various forums in French and English and re-discovered voyageforum.com. And most importantly, I came across Ticapi’s travel journal, which I devoured in one evening, and a few months later, Muriel18’s, whose release I eagerly awaited. Wow!!! Not only can you see gorillas in Uganda, but also chimpanzees and the shoebill, not to mention the savannah and the chance to go on more classic safaris.

All that’s left is to convince my better half that Uganda is a safe country...

Usually, and now more than ever, we prefer independent travel and self-drive trips in particular. But given the proximity to the DRC border, the potentially impassable roads after rain, and rental cars that aren’t always in the best condition, we hired a guide for two weeks in December 2018. The months passed, and the excitement grew.

Three weeks before departure, I fell ill after a work trip to Asia. Darn! This time, I didn’t waste any time—I quickly saw a doctor and got rid of that virus. That was the plan! Flu or malaria? (I’d been to the Amazon six months earlier.) The doctor didn’t know; the cough only appeared a few days later. We did blood tests two days in a row to rule out malaria. So it was the flu or... pneumonia :-( ...?

The X-rays spoke for themselves—it was pneumonia, and it was already quite advanced. No big deal, I still had two weeks to recover! I religiously took my antibiotics, downed loads of vitamin C, but nothing worked—the antibiotics didn’t seem to be doing anything. I was coughing so hard I thought my lungs would come up, I was short of breath, exhausted. I’d dreamed of this trip for so long... it seemed unthinkable not to go. Five days before departure, my doctor hospitalized me—the pneumonia had worsened, and my blood oxygen levels were dangerously low. I was in tears but still in denial about what was happening to me. Besides, I’d still taken my anti-malarial, because I was determined to leave.

I spent the first day in the emergency room on oxygen 24/7. The germ causing my pneumonia was unknown to the infectious disease and pulmonary specialists. They tried a combination of antibiotics. No big deal, in four days, I’d be leaving. I harassed the doctor, who must have thought I was crazy, to find out when I could be discharged—"because, you see, doctor, I have a flight to Uganda on Saturday." On Thursday, the doctor was firm: I’d still be hospitalized on Saturday... deep down, I knew it but didn’t want to admit it. My partner handled canceling the flights, contacted our travel insurance (thankfully we had some), and I wrote to our guide (who, in the meantime, had become our tour operator) who could hardly believe it. And neither could I! We told ourselves it was just postponed and that we’d take this long-awaited trip at the end of 2019!

March 2019, the tour operator reached out to us: "Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Uganda this year? You’d better hurry and book the gorilla permits before they run out."

Oh yes, we wanted to see the gorillas. But we hesitated about rebooking. I still hoped to do this trip as a self-drive. The thing is, this year, we managed to take three weeks off, and we also wanted to spend a week in Rwanda. My partner still didn’t feel comfortable driving there. Yet, he’s driven all over the world. I respected his feelings, especially since he’s the only one who drives.

Anyway, we went back and forth but neither of us really said what we were thinking: "What if we used someone else to organize our trip?" In the end, we went with him again, made a first deposit for four gorilla permits (two days each) (not the best idea we’ve ever had), and looked into adding Rwanda to our itinerary. We’d have a guide/driver for the whole trip with mid-range accommodations.

After several back-and-forths, the itinerary was supposed to look something like this. To be honest, I got fed up after a while.

Day 1: Arrival in Kigali in the evening Day 2: Transfer from Kigali to Akagera NP Day 3: Safari in Akagera NP Day 4: Akagera NP and night in Nyagatare Day 5: Transfer from Nyagatare to Nyungwe Forest Day 6: Nyungwe Day 7: Nyungwe Day 8: Transfer from Nyungwe to Lake Kivu, Rubavu/Gisenyi Day 9: Transfer from Rubavu/Gisenyi to Kisoro/Uganda via the Cyanika border Day 10: Gorilla tracking in Mgahinga NP Day 11: Golden Monkey tracking in Mgahinga NP, night at Lake Mutanda Day 12: Gorilla tracking in Bwindi, Ruhija (later changed to Rushaga) Day 13: Queen Elizabeth NP, Ishasha sector in the morning and Kazinga Channel in the afternoon Day 14: No clear answer on activities for that day. After three attempts, I gave up. I shouldn’t have... Day 15: Chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, night at Lake Nkuruba Day 16: Lake Nkuruba, morning activities around the lake and Bigodi Swamps in the afternoon Day 17: Transfer from Lake Nkuruba to Murchison Falls Day 18: Murchison Falls Day 19: Murchison Falls Day 20: Transfer from Murchison Falls via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, night in Entebbe Day 21: Entebbe – Mabamba Swamps Day 22: Mabamba Swamps in the morning, Botanical Garden in Entebbe in the afternoon, and transfer to the airport for the overnight return flight.

In April, he asked us for a substantial deposit for the accommodations and some park activities, as one of his colleagues was doing the same tour in May and it would be good if he could secure the already-made reservations by paying the bill.

A week before departure, just like in 2018, we paid the remaining balance of the agreed amount. Three days later, since I hadn’t heard from him (the TO is based in Germany), I sent him a message to confirm he’d received the payment.

My partner joked, "And that’s when he tells us he closed the account we sent the money to." I forced a laugh... and even more so when the TO asked me which account I’d sent the balance to... "Uh, the same one as before." And then he told me he’d closed that account and maybe should’ve mentioned it earlier... uh, you think?! And of course, he needed the money sent again quickly. "Well, buddy, you’ll have to wait until I get it back!!!

It was already late, and my bank had been closed for hours. The next morning, first thing, I called my bank and explained the situation.

"Unfortunately, we can’t do anything for you; you’ll have to wait for the money to be returned." "But how long will that take?" "A few days or weeks, depending on the banks, and you should expect transfer fees."

Brilliant! :-(

After nearly 10 years of traveling almost exclusively without traditional travel agencies, had we just been scammed? I went back to the forums to reread posts about this TO from other travelers. They were all positive; no one mentioned a scam.

The next day, I searched online for the contact details of his bank in Germany. I wrote to the generic email address in English, explaining that I’d made a transfer without knowing that this gentleman had closed his bank account. The employee replied in impeccable English that the bank only responded to emails written in German. Grrr! I used a well-known translator since my German is, let’s say, rusty, and resent my email in German. The same agent replied in German that unfortunately, they couldn’t do anything for me—that if the account had been closed, an automatic rule would return the money to the sender... period, end of story!

Well, our money is lost somewhere in the "cloud," or so we hope! Wait and see!

No news from our TO, and we didn’t reach out either—we were too annoyed by the whole situation.

Bonjour,

Je suis actuellement en train de planifier mon court séjour (14 jours) en Thaïlande. La première partie de mon voyage (Bangkok/ Chiang Mai) est pas mal peaufinée. J'y passerais 9 jours en tout. Il me reste donc 5 jours pour le sud.

J'ai de l'intérêt pour Phuket et Koh Phi Phi. Idéalement, j'aimerais séjourner au 2 endroits, ce qui veux dire que j'aurais 2 nuits à un endroit et 3 nuits à l'autre. La question qui tue est la suivante: Lequel de ces 2 endroits mérite plus de temps (3 nuits)?

En ce qui nous concerne, nous désirons se détendre à la plage, peut-être une sortie en bateau afin de voir certaines plages, etc. Nous ne sommes pas du type hike et cie.

Merci

Bonjour à tous,

Femme photographe qui voyage en solo, je suis à la recherche d'informations sur les tribus de la province d'Orissa en Inde. Départ Mi Février 2020 pour 3 semaines.

Quels sont les villages où je peux les rencontrer ? Bondas ? Raghurajpur ? Puri ? Mangaljodi ?Village tribal de Lanjia Saura ? Idéalement, j'aimerais vivre en immersion dans l'un de ces villages au moins une semaine, pour y rencontrer ces tribus dont on entend si peut parler.

Quelqu'un est il déjà allé là bas ? Est ce compliqué pour une femme seule ? Je pense atterrir à Bubaneshwar et peut-être me renseigner auprès d'une agence de tourisme locale ?!

Que me conseillez vous une fois sur place ? Il y a d'une façon plus touristique les grottes troglodytes de Udaygiri et Khandagiri.

Merci pour votre aide & au plaisir de vous lire

Bonjour J’ai une problématique J’arrive à l’aéroport de BKK à minuit et les bus ou navette pour l’aéroport de DMK terminé à minuit Existe t il un moyen autre que le taxi meter pour si rendre ?Merci

Bonjour,

J'aimerais savoir si le Mozambique est une destination sûre pour deux femmes ? Et si oui, à quel degré: peut-on sortir le soir par exemple ? Ou conduire après la tombé de la nuit ? Peut-on être seules sur les routes en self-drive ?

Mon amie et moi nous sommes senties en parfaite sécurité en Namibie; la question de la sécurité ne s'est pas spécialement posée au Kenya (mais à l'époque j'étais plus insouciante !); par contre je reviens d'un voyage avec mon mari au Cap et dans le petit Karoo où je ne me suis pas sentie à l'aise.

Ce qui m'amène à ma seconde question: l'idéal pour un self-drive au Mozambique est de louer une voiture à Johannesburg je crois, ce qui est parfait puisque j'aimerais visiter le parc Kruger sur le chemin. Mais impossible de m'imaginer à deux femmes seules à Johannesburg... Est-ce que que quelqu'un aurait une idée qui solutionne ce problème par hasard ? :)

Merci pour votre aide, Claire

Bonjour, Je devais prendre le 09 Janvier un vol Tsaradia Majunga Tana qui devait arriver a Tana vers 12h 15 ce qui m'aurait permis de prendre un vol Air Austral pour la reunion a 18 h 35. Le depart du vol Tsaradia a été reporté le 9 pour une arrivée a 21h 15!! Consequence vol Air Austral raté, reservation hotel a la reunion payée mais nuit non utilisée. Je suis dans le potage!! Quels sont mes recours? J ignore le genre d accord passé entre Tsaradia et Air austral mais accord il y a puisque les vols Tsaradia creditent des points sur la carte capricorne d'Air austral. Est ce que je peux deposer plainte sur ces compagnies?

Hello les amis, Je suis à la recherche de choses à voir et activités de grand air à faire entre la Géorgie, le Tennessee et l'Alabama... J'ai déjà parcouru pas mal de guides et de sites, mais j'avoue ne pas être super emballé pour le moment... Je précise que les musées c'est vraiment pas mon trip. Je préfère une bonne rando VTT ou Kayak, une ballade sur une belle plage, la découverte d'un lieu insolite. Des lieux cultes (déjà repéré Graceland et L'hotel loraine... Ouais je sais j'en demande beaucoup et je ne pense pas que ce type de destination soit très courue. Mais je tente ma chance. Je prends toute idée originale 😉 Sinon, je ferais comme d'hab, zéro préparation, 100% AVENTURE 😎

Bonjour, Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'espoir, mais qui ne tente rien n'a rien... Est-ce que par hasard il existerait un magasin de spécialités belges (chocolats, ...), voire suisse ou francaises à Dumaguete. Mon fils loge dans une famille d'accueil qui a adoré le Côte d'Or qu'il leur a amené en cadeau il y a 2 mois. Ils en redemandent, j'aurais aimé pouvoir leur en offrir à Noël, seulement voilà, les frais de port sont énormes... Donc, si quelqu'un a un tuyau... Claire
