Boracay-tis great.

so we have been in Boracay much longer than anticiapated but we have had a great time.
Boracay is this little island with great beaches, nightlife and water sports.
We are staying at a hotel called Alice, which is nice and insulating because it has air-con, a TV and an en-suite.
we spent the first few days sleeping and eating and barely saw anything, mainly because i was wrecked.
We started spending happy hour in a bar called nigi nigi noo noo's where we ended up meeting this gang of lovely people.

we hung out with them most nights, as you will see from the photos. we totally reccommend Nigi's and a nightcllub called Guillys.
i also totally reccommend, for food, Manana, Big Yellow Taxi, Villa Oro Mongolian Barbeque and a spanish place across from our hotel that i cannot reember the name of.
we also highly reccommend the two bar men, Nolly and Lito, in the bar.
so we rented quads and did a small tour of the island with this couple called jocelyn and Joel.

Jocelyn had never driven anything before so it was great that when her quad tipped over she just got right back on and kept on going. we went to a butterfly and bat farm where the other 3 held a bat. eurgh! and we wnet to a view point.
terry and i did a kite surfing lesson with Isla Kite surfing, which we really enjoyed but it was really hard.

we got no where near a board! the kite was really hard to control and we had to do the lesson over two days because of rain. Ter would hold me on the earth when i was learning how to control the kite and i was supposed to hold terry down. it really worked! i lost my grip on terry every time. he got some miner air.

Terry did his advanced open water diving course. this involved 5 particular areas with 5 dives. he did navigation, buoancy, deep dive, night dive and wreck diving i think. he can add a bit about that. he was delighted with it. he did it with Sue at Calypso diving.
i chilled while he was doing his dives. i went to the viewing point with some of the people we had met for sunset. it was cool there were about ten of us between 2 tricycles and at one stage we had to get off and walk so it would make it up the hill.
yesterday we went on an Island hopping tour with Marie and Mairead. they had the best seats in the house! they were soaked the entire time we were out. it was a nice tour with a good lunch and was good value for money except for the bogus environmental fee people were asked to pay if they went snorkelling at crocodile island.
Today Terry is at a cock fight with JC. JC's family has the best fighter cocl apprently but it is not fighting today.
i went in search of a leg wax and found instead a hygienically challenged ladyboy called Vanessa. suffice to say i am still a hairy lady. Unlike Vanessa.
i would totally reccommend Boracay, although haggeling is important.
Terry will put up the photos later and talk about the dives and the cock fight i am sure!
