A very short entry here as not a lot to report apart from the fact we blew the budget on a long overdue treat to a nice resort called the Acacia Tree Garden and mostly just relaxed by the pool and drunk beer and watched bad American cable t.v.

We did venture into town one day to top up on supplies and visit a restaurant we liked the look of called Ima's which was nice food but small portions. The town was a scrubby miss-mash of shopping malls and local run down streets. My favourite was the walk in gun shop, a supermarket for real guns. A bit weird when you lived in the U.K. all your life and not seeing people walk around with a pistol on their hip. We had a good snoop around town but to be honest was uninspiring and ugly. We were going to go on a trip to the subterranean river but when we looked into it decided we could not be bothered to sit on another minibus for 4 hours and then hang around queueing with other tourist to go on what essentially a half hour cave trip. I think we are starting to get a bit lazy and are only picking 'sights' if they are convenient and reasonably priced. It's our new strategy on travelling or maybe it's just us getting travel burn out.

Back at the hotel we had some extremely poor food from their restaurant. We did find a lady to do our washing though for 25p a kilo so I decided that all my clothes needed washing apart from what I was wearing.
Totally chilled out and recharged from 4 nights here we now catch a plane from here to our next destination Bohol.
