Well the longer I stay here the more I realize I’m not in Kansas anymore. I booked an Island Hopping tour for this past Saturday and was really excited about going to different beaches and swimming around. There was a good number of people for the tour, all of which was a family of about 20 people. They were all very nice and had a good time, they had a bunch of karaoke going on with a lot of food and some drinking.
the snacks were pretty good, actually.
We motored down the channel a little bit then they moored up to a mooring float. After a while one of the employees mentioned that I could go swimming off the back of the boat.
Great, I brought my snorkeling gear so I suited up and jumped in. Their definition of swimming here was holding onto a line attached to the back of the boat and basically just getting wet. The current was pretty swift so I had to just hang on and look at the fish that were swimming about 20-30 feet below me. Basically I had a good time even though only the boat employees were the only one to speak to me. As we were being shuttled back to the dock by dingy, one of the older ladies asked where I was from. Then she proceeded to tell me that Donald Trump was the last hope for our country, I had to agree with her.
So after the Island Hopping tour (that went to no islands or beaches) I grabbed a trike to go back to the condo.
What the trike driver falled to tell me is the little community that I live in (Mactan-Newtown) doesn’t allow trikes to enter the area where I stay. He went as far as he could then dropped me of where I had about a 3 minute walk to my condo.
All in all I had a good time. the sun was shining, I was surrounded by people, enjoyed the family having a good time and I got wet. I can’t even complain about the little sunburn I got from “Swimming” with no shirt on.
Till next time, I hope you are all doing well!
