Hey! Jude Resort Boracay

... joined a Frisby team and were here for a few days as part of their tour. They were a really nice gang. We're trying the buffets here that they have all along the beach. Crab wasn't great but today they had a lovely suckling pig all laid out with his crispy skin! Yum pork chops! Only 4 euro each. Going out again tonight and we're going to try walking a bit further down the beach than ...

... chat. The owner is married to an English woman so he was all stories about how they met.

Out in the beach bars later, we met two more people who we had been chatting to at the Halloween party in Hong Kong! Small world or what.

Covered in Mosquito bites, have counted nearly forty on my legs alone. Not so pretty!

Miss you all,
Stories?

... and only public bus transport that should have taken us smoothly across the border. (and paid alot extra in order to convince the driver to leave a day earlier than officially scheduled) . This led us to make our own, somewhat more interesting arrangements. Together with a german couple and five travelling thai people, we set out to cross the border by a series of dusty, ridiculously bumpy (and did I mention freezing) open truck rides. As I have ...

... one of did a bit of a crawl from bar to bar. We saw a wedding party take place at of the bars, where the wedding party (a gang of locals) were dancing to American Hip Hop! Even the bride was giving it some! We ended up at a live music venue, where the locals were doing some rock number. They were amazing, I thought they were miming! We were surrounded by many tourists and locals alike. Some single ladies or G.R.O's as they are known ...

... another research dive this afternoon. Before our 3:30PM dive, I quickly ran back to Orchid's to change back into a swimsuit and prepare for my last dive at Angol. I had Simon swing north outside of the dive site to collect points. My right sinus has been acting up all day and I was really stuffy after the dive. Usually being in the water clears me up, but today it was just the opposite. I cleaned up my gear and showered post-dive. We debrief and I ...

We took a different route going back on our return trip. From Panoly, a shuttle drove us to the Fairways Resort and Golf Course where a boat awaits us. The tides being strong and the winds blowing towards Panoly, we had to take the boat at the other side of the island. So onboard the boat we went off to Caticlan and since we now toured the other side of the island, we got a different ...

With everything at arms reach, beach, diving, restaurants (huge Prawns & delicious lobster!), bars, internet etc I didn't see any reason to move, so I didn't. I did meet some great people, mostly Swiss German, who had me barbecuing lamb racks at their holiday house ...
