Victory Beach Resort Boracay

Hey just in case anyone thinks we've neglected the blog there is honestly nothing to report! The weather is fab every day. We go out to the pub every second night and spend the following day too hungover to do much! The beach here is the most beautiful I've ever seen. We've met some interesting people. A big gang of Americans that live in Guam working as lawyers and marine biologists ...

... 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?

Really when you enjoyed the place too much you cant even think of returning home,,work and so on that's what i felt,,life is that simple in that place people are happy even they dont have everything..I still feel the sadness when i left the island,yahh that's a part of reality..
The good thing is that we can always come back and maybe next time it will be for good huh...
Boracay has a lot to offer not just the ...

... got a fan room for 800 pesos. They only had A/C rooms available so in the morning I'd have to switch rooms. It was around 20:30 by the time I got to my room. In the morning I switched rooms and then looked for a laundry place. After getting these things done I went to have a look at the beach. The beach is beautiful. It is crescent shaped, long and wide. The sand is white and soft. The water is a beautiful light green color. There ...

... actual Boracay Island, moto or tricycle to your resort. This is now around 6pm. The following morning as much of the week here we found a nice spot on the beach and enjoyed the crisp clear waters with high temperatures meaning regular dips where called for. The food on the island you will be glad to hear was offering much better quality and variety such as Greek, Japanese (funny story) Indian, buffets and lots of seafood. The ...

... in Manila, started an ocean conservation foundation and told us a little about everything over dinner. Very nice guy, he has the Blue Mango Restaurant and Dive Shop. Everyone was glad to see Amanda again. Today was a successful day, in spite of a slow start. We had asked for a boat with a 12 volt battery, meaning one connected to the engine and charged by the engine. The boat they assigned had a lawn mower engine (Briggs & Stratton) with no battery and no ...

... to people/places/things. Instead of doing a night dive, Caroline & I decided it was late enough [5:30PM] and we wanted to get back to shower for a nice last dinner out together. We took a tri-cycle taxi to the famed Mongolian BBQ where the crew ate last night, and met Ashley and 2 Norwegian girls we had met the night before. Enjoying each other's company and a bowl after bowl of BBQ, I was said this was my last night, but I couldn't have asked ...

... of crashing. Thirdly, I feel we have the potential to figure our population problem out before we have to worry about crashing. This last option, however, it truly a utopic ideal. It is unfortunate that we, as wealthy, educated Americans, have the power to change and control the world, but we are not yet willing to sacrifice our lifestyle in order for the entire continent of Africa, for example, to become self-sustaining and not constantly in ...

... you off guard a la Trojan Horse. Chef Richie Quivido recommends some of their bestsellers for Greek cuisine virgins. For starters, you can try their Mezedes - pita bread with dips. The best way to enjoy it would be to get the Mezedes Combination to get all the four different dips that they offer: Tzatziki - classic cucumber and yogurt dip in mild or strong garlic flavor; Malitzanosalata ...

... deceptively like they will fit me, will not and that it is pointless to try. I wondered why I wasn't getting "Hello ma'am" in a couple of clothes shops and getting followed around the store, but I soon learned it's because they knew that nothing would fit me, that they don't stock clothes for normal sized Westerners. Anyway, we all know it's shoes I'm after and I do know that they have size 39 shoes, so I'll be set when I hit the shopping centres in Manila ...
