Corregidor Tour by a former Guide, 26th Dec. 2021.
I posted these 192 images of that tour that only a knowledgeable person about Corregidor may get an idea how Corregidor looks like now, on the 26th Dec. 2021. The pictures were not edited nor have descriptions.
Here are some of my observations:
Mr. Marianito Malacaman (He said, call him Mart), a licensed guide, organized this Corregidor Tour via Facebook messenger. We met in Cabcaben. 6 people signed up including me. We used Villa Carmen boats. Because of the virus, the boats only load 50% capacity, so two boats had to be hired. The guide told me he paid 4K peso for each boat. We parked at the Villa Carmen Beach, we were 3 PUVs. Another group beat us to the boats; only 2 boats were available, so we had to wait our turn. No problem, Mart had the trolley and only driver reserved, so the first group had to wait for us and we used a trolley jointly and shared the cost. There was no driver for the only van on Corregidor (cheaper) and we were prepared to pay the higher cost of the trolley, so things worked out for both parties. The North Channel had the typical NE wind and swells, so going over no problem, coming back we got wet.
I paid 2700 for everything, the boat, the trolley, the entrance fee. Mac Arthur Café is closed, the former proprietor works there now as an employee and food arrangements have to made prior via the CFI office. Mart shared a hamburger with me; he had brought over, great guy! Overnights are available with prior arrangement at the MacArthur Café and one needs to discuss what one wants to eat, prior via the CFI Office. The power will stay on during the night with overnight guests, otherwise the power, right now, runs from 6pm to 9 pm. The Hotel is still closed. The CFI staff is reduced but many familiar faces are still there, the nurse, the cashier, the Mac Arthur Café entrepreneur, now an employee though. This was Sunday but saw maybe an 8 men sweeper crew.
The Philippine Navy and Marines have small detachments on the island, they will get relieved on the 27th Dec. so the teams don’t miss both Holyday seasons, and one guy said the detail lasts 3 month. Everybody on the island cares for their own food, bring, or get it yourself, Menard the boat food delivery from Bataan is still available but less often. Interestingly the Navy team had a monkey and was allowed to climb on people. The sailor said, they got it as a baby on Corregidor and it will go with them when relieved. Both outfits are located at the Bottomside south beach. The Coast Guard is still there, the roof is beginning to need repair. The roof over the outdoor area at Mac Arthur Café is hurting also.
I asked and Villa Carmen boats said, this month, so far they had 10 round trips, the Cabcaben Boat CoOp, I don’t know. The Coast Guard or Navy and another enterprise were over here, this month, but with their own transportation. Also I don’t know whether CFI with their 15 passenger craft had any trips this month, and remember they leave from the CCP in Manila now.
On this trip the guided tour was like normal and the pictures in the album are in sequence and tell you that everything on the tourist route looks the same as before. We skipped Battery Grubbs and Battery Crockett and did not get off the trolley at the Philippine Hero Memorial. The guide and I did sit down at the Mac Café while we waited for the boats when they took the first bunch back which had beat us to the punch today. I walked thru the chapel, it is beginning to hurt. The Malinta Hill Tunnel, we walked just into the west entrance and were cautioned about the rocks falling down sometime, outside the entrance.
I’m glad I made the trip and it helped me to prepare myself for my next trip in Feb. 2022. And I appreciate all the effort the tour guide Marianito Malacaman put into this and he travelled up here with his motorbike.
Load leveller sounds an intriguing device. I'm guessing much of this was developed and offered by the UK importer.

During our self-guided walking tour of Ketchikan, Alaska, Mike and I strolled through the city's historic Creek Street. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a designated historic district, Creek Street is located along the eastern shore of Ketchikan Creek adjacent to the downtown area. It features a boardwalk and buildings built over the water on wooden pilings, and it gained notoriety as Ketchikan's ''red-light district'' circa 1903-1954.
Our visit to Creek Street included a stop at Dolly's House (24 Creek St.), a former brothel that today operates as a museum. After entering through the parlor and proceeding through the dining room and kitchen, we came to the front hallway. This shot shows a view of the hallway and front entrance, as seen from the kitchen.
A few details on Dolly and her kitchen/hallway according to an informational placard displayed in the kitchen:
Kitchen and Hallway
Dolly was known as an excellent cook and used the latest appliances and gadgets. Her electric stove was probably the first one in town.
Along the right side of the hallway, you can see some of the modifications Dolly made to her house, like indoor plumbing. Notice the clever ''Men's Room.''
It was booze that made money for the girls more than the $3 tricks they turned. Dolly's arrival was timely. It was the time of big money on the Creek. Just a few months after she bought her house at No. 24, Prohibition went into effect: January 16, 1920.
During Prohibition, a gentleman caller could wait in the parlor with a short-shot of bootleg liquor, at fifty cents per teaspoon. Dolly said she never closed her business for the day until she had made between $75 and $100. Her standard rate was $3. You are invited to do the accounting for yourself. There were expenses, too...as much as $300 for a case of smuggled Canadian liquor. The cases of booze were passed up through a trap door under the house, late at night, at high tide. Dolly was a cautious business woman and only kept one bottle out at a time, and everyone shared the same shot glass. Everyone, including the authorities, knew that there was booze all over town. ''It was the marshall himself who told us to keep just one bottle and shot glass so we could throw it in the creek, and that's what we did,'' Dolly once said. To protect her earnings, Dolly built a little safe right into the house, with a slot for coins; she did not make change.
At the end of the hallway, on the lower left, Dolly kept her collection of dog sweaters and books. She loved small dogs and had five or more around the house at all times.

I don’t even know what to write! This is my first solo book, created without any support from institutions or companies. After countless attempts to reach out to the city council to develop a guide — and receiving multiple rejections — I decided to take matters into my own hands and publish this Lisbon Guide myself (with more on the way)!
To make the process easier, I chose Amazon’s print-on-demand service — meaning I don’t have 1,000 books scattered around the house 😃 (a definite advantage!), I don’t have to handle shipping (another plus!), and the book can be sold worldwide!
The only downside is that I can’t control the print quality (and I’ll admit, that really annoys me!!!). But there’s nothing I can do — I don’t have €10,000 to invest in printing.
So here it is, a guide to Lisbon! For now, it’s only available in English, but the Portuguese version should be ready next year! 😊

Nem sei bem o que escrever! Este é o meu primeiro livro a solo, onde não tive apoios de nenhuma entidade ou empresa. Depois de tentar por inúmeras vezes chegar à câmara para fazer um guia, e de múltiplos nãos, decidi por mãos à obra e lançar por mim próprio este Guia de Lisboa (e mais a caminho)! Ora para facilitar o processo, decidi escolher o print on demand da Amazon, ou seja, não tenho 1000 livros espalhados pela casa 😃 o que é uma vantagem, não tenho de ser eu a fazer o envio, outra vantagem, e o livro pode ser vendido para os quatro cantos do mundo!!!! O único defeito, é não conseguir controlar a qualidade de impressão do mesmo! (e isso confesso que me deixa um bocado irritado!!! Mas nada que eu possa fazer, não tenho 10.000€ para gastar em impressões). E aqui está, um guia para Lisboa!! Por enquanto, apenas em inglês. Mas no próximo ano deverei ter a versão portuguesa finalizada! 😊

Every year, the open air museum just outside of the small Danish town of Holbaek is transformed. Over the course of the day the Nazi's invade Denmark, the small open air museum/town undergoes years of occupation, and then eventually is liberated just before sunset.
All of the actors are incredible. The experience is immersive and leaves you with goose bumps. You have aircraft flying over head, the sound of machine gun fire, minorities being rounded up, SS officers marching in the streets.
To make the day even more meaningful, I was joined by a Danish friend and his grandmother who is 90. In her late teens during the invasion, she shared with me stories of the occupation as I picked her brain (through my friend as I don't speak Danish and she doesn't speak English).
Afterwards we retired to his Great Aunt's house where they shared additional stories and pulled out old ration cards, shared my friend's father's resistance armband, and chatted with me about how Denmark has changed since they were children.
