Anyhow, here’s the story behind our third trip to Davao.  You will see the date when in my digiscrap below.  Actually, this is the first time we travelled to Davao again for just a span of two years.  But I hubby Leif and I were surprised to see my nieces and nephews growing up as fast as thunder.  Imagine how changes occurs within two years and before we know it, they’re already adults.  We enjoyed meeting our relatives and old friends.  We also enjoyed going to the malls and to some places we haven’t been before.

The weather wasn’t in our favor all the time and sun seemed to be playing hide and seek with us.  Then I got stomach pain and a little diarrhea.  It didn’t last long, though.  But Leif had the worst.  For the first time in our years of travelling, he got diarrhea which according to him, a traveller’s diarrhea.  Because of this, we skipped going out for some days.  There were still many places we wanted to visit but it was hard to get enough time for it.

We stayed at Casa Leticia this time.  The room was good enough, although we expected better.  We thought it was big, with sala and all since we booked an Executive Suite.  But the suite (room) they had was just an ordinary room.  I won’t elaborate the things we didn’t like there and I don’t think we’ll ever stay there again.  Anyway,  we had fun and we’re glad to see our relatives again.

Whenever we visit Davao, hubby and I would always spend a couple of days in Singapore. It’s our third time to visit my hometown so is our visit in Singapore. It’s kind of relaxing to unwind in this clean city after a long and exhausting flight from Sweden. This time we stayed at St. Regis Hotel located along Tanglin Road. It’s near Orchard Road where shopping centres are found. But hubby loves to shop for tech gadgets at Sim Lim Square. It’s becoming a must-go place when we are in Singapore.

The hotel was superb! And the breakfast was really a perfect variety of Asian and European meals. Since our stay was short, we did not make it to Sentosa Island and Marina Bay. All we could do was to shop for “pasalubong”. We wanted to give Digicams and camcorder to my relatives so we spent most of the time at Sim Lim Square to look for what we needed.

Anyway, we’ll be spending a day here again before we fly back to Sweden. But I doubt we can visit more places that time. Hubby’s going to pick up the recorder for our Nikon D90. Let’s see…
