Beach time.

For our final week in The Philippines, we considered going off to search for those damned elusive whale sharks, but, since this would involve ten hour bus journeys and/or twenty-three hour boat rides, we decided, instead, to try out Boracay, the favourite haunt of Koreans and Philippinos seeking an Ibiza-style break in the sun.


We stayed on Dinniwid beach, far from the madding crowd of sunglasses salesfolk and terrible house music, and had a fab time eating squid, sunbathing and losing at backgammon with the locals.

The Spider House.


See that parasol? That's us that is.


Dames waits for the sun to go down with manic anticipation.

Our friend, Mr Long Island Iced Tea. Spirits here are about 50p a litre. It's amazing that we ever caught our flight out.
