Residencia Boracay

... to see if there's more pubs along the way than our usual haunt! Just sat down and watched the sunset here for the first time too. We've always seemed to miss it so far. Very beautiful. Off to Oz on the 18th. Feels so weird to be leaving Asia!!! Still have quite a few more lazy days to go here though. Will update with more news when it happens.

Love to all!!

... previously in Vietnam I made something of a "custom-made" itinerary for us. We had only 18days so instead of trying to see and do too much, I choose just a handful of great places. This was perfect actually as it enabled us to spend more time getting to know and relaxing into each place, and therefore also less time 'in transit' on buses, trains and towns/places that I knew weren't really worth including. Our first port of call after crossing the border ...

... Guest Relations Officers!!!). They basically sit at the bar with one beer which lasts all night, until they manage to get chatting to a male tourist! Here the ladies pull the men!!! Mainly German men! We ended the night doing out dance moved on a sand dance floor! This place rocks! The following day, as Marie recovered from the nights partying, by getting a massage and a manicure on the beach, I headed off for my first dive as a ...

... 639166597468. Er mulig det nummeret er den siste sjansen aa ringe meg paa for jeg er tilbake i Australia igjen i April/Mai. Jeg kommer ikke til aa kjope meg noe kort i Thailand, kanskje i Laos, men har hort at det er saa daarlig connection der at man ikke kan ringe men bare sende melding. Og i Indonesia kommer jeg jo sannsynligvis ikke til aa ha dekning mesteparten av tiden. Naa blir det nok snart kvelden paa oss her, siden vi var oppe klokka 3.30 i natt! God natt! :-)

... notes about the dive in my log & journal after every dive, FYI. Back to Blue Mango for dinner. What a tiring day of diving! French toast and a scrambled egg for dinner. We talked to the owner, Vaughan Pratt and his wife, Dolly, while we ate. They met while Vaughan was in Manila getting his Veterinarian degree. He's originally from Boston. They have loved around between the Philippines, Hawaii and Boston since being married for 27(?) years ...

... from when we were coming over. It was now the 360 degrees tour being completed. From Caticlan harbour we boarded a huge bus to Kalibo. This is your normal inter-state bus so it was very comfortable and the air-conditioning was working well. I was actually able to doze off during the 45-minute ride. Since we left quite early (about 7:00 am) from Panoly, we arrived around 10:00ish at ...

... and a few nights out with another SG, one of which ended up with me putting his scooter motorbike into a puddle (with him on it), fortunately I was already numb and didn't feel pain, but my phone suffered some water damage... I wish I'd bought shares in Motorola! Back to Manila for a night before jumping a flight to Macau! More pics soon...
