Being the dumb tourists that we are we both got scratched by a cat in El Nido. Seemed like a good idea to get our rabies boosters as soos as - just in case.

Welcome to VeloTour

This blog's about a three week cycle touring trip in the Philippines in July 2008. Check out the introduction.

I've created the blog to be a day-by-day account, but it's all based around the photos - so don't worry - we won't bore you with loads of text ... just pages of photos instead. Blogs show the most recent post first - so if it's easier, use the menu below to navigate.
