Boracay Bar Crawl
... plenty of bars and most have enough people around for them not to be dead but it's not particularly rawkus, there aren't groups of young people around or anything. This is perhaps a good thing though, even though it offers a lot of what many other resorts do it has yet to degenerate into a Phi Phi or Phuket style atmosphere. Hopefully it never will. Lots of contradictions there. I wouldn't even have written about it had we not been expecting crazy nights out from the ...
Back in paradise
... as hungry as me!!
So. the journey? Well, rowing boat 20p, tricycle 100p, A/C bus 210p, and 4 hours later we are in Bacolod.
From there, tricycle 200p to boat terminal, boat 520p, bus 692p 5 hours later we are in Caticlan.
Boat 300p, tricycle 100p, and we are back in Forest Hills, exactly where we were staying in Boracay!

We leave on time in a plane less than half full, and get good views over Boracay and the string of islands to the north. At one stage we do a right angle turn across one of the islands, but aren't returning to Caticlan. Closer to Manila we get mountain views, coastal views ...
Day from Hell
... a huge issue with the plane.
Chris and I got a coffee at the Dunkin' Donuts and when I went to sit down I slopped all over. Because the worker bee has now left I stop in at the cafe next to it for some napkins to do a clean-up. A young guy was standing behind the counter and I soon discovered there was a young women sitting down in front of her. She had her uniformed hiked up under her armpits and he ...
