Well I've found it- the place I love the most!
Yes, yes, I do realise I've probably said that about every place I've been to, but his time I really mean it!
We are staying on Borakay in a hostel no more than 50 steps away from white sand and crystal clear water beaches. I have spent a day reading, swimming and laying down my head to sleep in the sand. What's not to love?!
After the initial scare of thinking we couldn't get money out at the ATM I finally was able to and after trying in vain to find our hostel on the wrong island (yes, the one thing I tried to plan I effed up) we finally arrived.
This place is amazing; and it just so happens we've coincided this trip with Easter so most of the people on holiday are Filipinos. The Philippines are a 90% Christian nation, the only place in SEA to have that. Their language is also remarkably similar sounding to Spanish and it's been good fun to actually understand some of what people are talking about!
The kids are beautiful and great fun to play with. Mostly everyone speaks a remarkable amount of English, even the radio shows are about 50% English- which is hilarious.
Yesterday I spent on the beach and lived off 97 Pisos. Had the best mango of my life which was so juicy I had to dive into the sea to clean up, then I considered the ant for a while as I watched them working hard. I love this place!
