finally made it to apo island after 2 days of being in-transit.  our flight out of manila turned around when we were 30 minutes away from dumaguete because the weather was not good for landing. 

so we ended up hanging out at a hotel pool for the afternoon before catching a flight to cebu in hopes of catching a night ferry.  we got to cebu and it was still raining so we ended up staying overnight and try for the morning ferry which was then cancelled.  we finally caught the ferry at 3:30pm after hanging out in a starbucks and shopping mall for about 5 hours to kill time.

by the time we arrived in dumaguete it was too late to take a boat over to apo island so we missed out on both nights of our stay there.   bright side: we got to stay at the nice hotel we had booked for only 1 night for 2 nights!
