My fifteen-day itinerary around the provinces of Leyte, Biliran, Samar, and Northern Samar in Easter Visayas region of the Philippines. I also made side trips to the southern trip of Sorsogon Province, and to Cebu on my way back to Iloilo. On this trip, I experienced a wide variety of attractions, which included sandy beaches, coastal rock formations, waterfalls, inland caves, sea and river boat cruises, a lake, and heritage structures.

Note: This trip happened before Typhoon Yolanda devastated Eastern Visayas.
