The Philippines days 1-2


Since the last time I updated my blog, there have been a few more foreigners to come into the resort. The first night ended with a night time swim and I believe that is the last time that I blogged. Breakfast here at the hotel is amazing, and I think tocino is the best cooked meat ever, it tastes a bit like bbq pork ribs that you might pick up at your local Chinese restaurant. The guy makes your eggs however you want them and it's a lot of food, the best part about it is that it's complimentary.

We ended up staying at the pool all day on our first full day here and meet Steve a guy from Australia, Jerry a guy from Seattle, and Tanya a lady from Hong Kong. Steve and Jerry are both 50 and older, but you would never be able to tell by the way that they hangout. These are some cool guys! Well we drink a bunch beers at the pool where Dustin received serious sunburn all over his body, and then headed into town to Marco Polo (hotel/restaurant) to have their buffett. The food was very good there and I was stuffed after leaving.

We woke up yesterday and had breakfast and ran into Steve and his new Philippina "friend". We jumped in the hotel van with a Korean couple who are honeymooning here and went off to look for a beach. The guy ends up taking us to a place with no umbrellas and the amount of sand that I use to dump out of my track shoes after long and triple jumping all day. That was a ridiculous so we decided to move on, but the young Korean couple wanted to stay. On to the next place.

We went to a place called Maribago Blue Water Resort. This place was grand! They charged us about 25 bucks to get in, but gave us half of the admission price to spend on food and drinks. We had some great fruit shakes, enjoyed the ocean, and relaxed under the shed before heading over to one of their restaurants for lunch. We ended up going to the Seafood Restaurant and had "FRESH" seafood. I went to the tank and chose my fish, the guy scooped it up and brought it back out to me in about 20 minutes. That's something that I use to get when I lived in Seosan, Korea. That beats frozen fish anyday.

We ate and headed back to our place after spending about 5 hours on the beach. We got back to the resort and chilled. I played pool with Jerry for a while, this guy has some funny stories to tell. After a few games of pool we went in and got ready for dinner. We took a taxi to Cebu City to the Water Front Hotel and Casino with Jerry and Tanya. ANOTHER BUFFETT! This one was good but not as good as the one at Marco Polo. We ate and laughed the entire time, I didn't get full as quick as the other night. At the end we bypassed the casino and headed home. I came in and passed out. Now, I'm caught up with everything that has happened here.

Until next time...be good to yourself and each other!!
