yummy fresh papaya juice
yummy mango pancakes...the greatest thing in the world (eric says...well i guess i agree too)The day before was filled with…nothing! We just relaxed by the white sand beach and clear blue water…took a couple dips…and that’s about it. So today we wanted to be, well, adventurous and do a lot of activities! It’s so much cheaper to jet ski and go parasailing than anywhere else so we had to hit that up! It was a blast. On our parasailing ride around the island, we stopped aways out from shore in the coral reef to go snorkeling. I first realized I was afraid of fish on our honeymoon in Hawaii, but my fear was intensified when we were out in the middle of the ocean – it felt like – with a million fish around us! So I didn’t go all the way in the water, I just hung onto the boat and Eric went off adventuring. Before we got on the boat, the guide told us to buy a loaf of bread to feed the fish…who knew fish ate bread…I thought that was a duck thing? Anyway, the second we put a piece of bread in the ocean the fish went nuts. They would even eat it out of your hand; that I could handle!
boat ride to the wave runners
bye!
coming back from our 45 min ride
the pretty paraw (sail boat) we took around the island!
We finished off the night walking along the beach and enjoying the live music at almost every hotel/restaurant. When the sun goes down, all the restaurants move to the beach and set up tables and chairs. There were so many restaurants to choose from along the beach that we couldn’t decide where to eat…so we chose the coolest looking set up…we ate Chinese food on the beach floor! I would have to say it was the best meal of the whole trip…for me anyway. Of course the Filipino food was delicious too. We didn’t touch balut (partially developed duck embryo – a delicacy in the Philippines) so we were good.
I can't tell you how many pictures Eric took of the sunset
the very nice, romantic dinner
beautiful site...too bad that's not us sailing into the sunset
