Hi guys!!! Sorry about the last entry - Dan was NOT drunk (or so he informs me lol) he just rushed it a LOT apparently! Honestly! So we left you on Monday after terrorizing poor Louis...
Tuesday we went to a Fiesta at a really poor families "house" about half hour outside of Dumaguete. The people were really friendly but there wasn't much to do so me, Dan, Sammi & Max walked down to the beach and hung out at a resort for an hour before coming back for food. I have never had so many people staring at me in my life! Well, actually it is like this in town in Dumaguete but never mind... Food was delish - the main centrepiece was Lechon Baboy - which is a whole pig cooked over an open fire!!! The crackling is soooo crispy and delicious!! Went back to the beach after this and swam in the sea in our underwear as we forgot our swim stuff! Quite relaxing actually!! In the evening we got lavender back & head massages in town for like 2 pounds!! (They don't have a pound sign on this keyboard - aaaaah!!). We kept lauging during it for no reason and had gorgous ginger tea afterwards! Soooo relaxing!!
Wednesday we had a relaxing day at the house with a nice bbq. In the evening we went into town again for more treatments!! This time Sammi had a facial & me & Dan had foot massages! Niiiiiice!!!
Thursday & Friday we chilled some more (I'm sure we did something else but cannot for the life of me remember what it was!!!) plus got facials one evening!!
Saturday we went to an island called Siquior (I think that's how you spell it!!) to a resort called Coco Grove! Really is a gorgeous place - our room got upgraded so we a had like a deluxe place! Spent the rest of the day swimming in the pool & drinking cocktails at the pool bar! Made an Austrian friend who was really really strange with odd facial hair!!! Plus in the evening we played pool with the Filipino bar guys! Great fun!
Next morning we swam some more before catching the boat back to Dumaguete. Had another bbq then watched a movie in the evening.
Monday the whole family plus Patrick, Maria & Louis travelled 4 hours up the mountain roads to stay in a resort called Mabinay - the house was like a tree house! But they had a swimming pool with a fab water slide so we practically spent the whole afternoon and evening sliding! Plus we went kayaking on the lake & befriended the locals for a while!
Tuesday morning we had a bbq & swam some more before travelling home & watching a movie in the evening!
And here we are today! In town at the moment and will be for a few hours before having another bbq in the evening!
Soooo, hope you enjoy reading about the Philippines! The weather has now improved by the way and is ridiculously hot and sticky!
Will see you all soon! Less than 7 weeks now!!!
love Bekki & Dan
