hello guys!!!!
just before we start we want to say hello back to all the messages - thats like the most in one go so far :) woooooohoooooo haha
so... on tuesday we decided to venture to Boracay for a few days before going to Cebu. Boracay is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! white sands (3km long beach), clear blue seas and lovely hot weather. it is so laid back and very quiet in comparison to manila. our hotel and the people there were awesome!!
we flew from manila to caticlan, this was like the smallest airport (if you can call it that haha) we have ever seen. we were picked up by a guy from the hotel and rode our first tricycle wooo we were taken to this crazy boat which took us over to Boracay. we loved it the moment we got there, we were then picked up by the hotel van and taken to our hotel. when we arrived we were greeted by a friendy bunch of staff - they gave us some mango juice and took us through things we could do in boracay and about the island in general - very helpful. we just wanted to jump in the pool - which is what we did :) our room was literally in front of the pool - we had our own wooden table infront of our patio doors where we could eat. we had filipino breakfast every morning - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!
the next day we wandered along the beach and looked around the funky little shops, that evening we rented 2 ATV's (quad bikes) and rode up to the mountains - this was really cool once at the top we could see the whole of Boracay - postcard picture taking opportunity :). After the mountains they took us to some butterfly farm where SJ held a bat but Morgan didnt
SJ managed to get so burnt lying beside the pool the day after which wasnt to much fun, whereas morgan is just going blacker by the day!!!
all in all we would say that is the nicest place we have been to so far, its so great because the people are lovely and it is so laid back.
on friday we went back to the silly airport to fly to cebu, where morgans dad picked us up from the airport. we met morgans younger sister and wife for the first time which was nice.
when we got here we were joined by a crazy drunk uncle of morgans and we went to the mountains were we could see the whole of cebu. had a couple of beers up there and went back to the house.
the next day we were taken to a HUGE family get together - the house we visited had a business were they roast pigs - we herd 3 getting killed and put on the pole things - not nice (only cause we are not used to it haha) SJ tryed the skin of the pig for the first time - and she didnt hate it :) we were then taken to a beach which was not very nice - very dirty so we didnt stay there long (it was no Boracay haha)
yesterday we were invited to morgans auntie inday's house for dinner so we stayed there for a while and had a few drinks - we really enjoyed it there, they were all really lovely.
today we have had more of a tourist day - we have been to cebu catherdral (biggest church in cebu) we have seen the oldest street in philippines, we also were taken to temple taoist which is a chinese temple. we went to church and convent of santo nino (which is the oldest church in the philippines). and just before we came here we went to fort of san pedro - this was really interesting.
we are back of to manila tomorrow morning before flying to bangkok on friday, we can't believe how fast the time is going!! hope every one is doing good?! we miss you all
