Boracay!

There is so much I could write about the mid trip break in Boracay but tbh the pictures speak for themselves so ill keep it brief. This was a joint trip between the Australian VTT and UK GSE teams and it did not disappoint. Sharing a room with Steale who I quickly renamed Stealy Dan was a hoot. Considering he is 13 years my senior we et along like a house on fire and the rivalry from earlier was ever present. Boracay is one of the Ph premier resorts and all I advise is you google it. We arrived after travelling in every mode of transport known to man and were greeted with a Vegas style nightlife beach front and white sand beaches less than 20' from the strip. The hotel was basic but has brilliant AC which tbh is all u want!

I must admit that after the first night I has a 'the beaches are great but you can leave the night life' attitude. If you only saw this aspect of Boracay you would be disappointed however the following day proved me wrong.

Chito one of the hosts the following day took us off to his private resort on the other side of the island. I later found out that this is recommended as one of the best beaches in Boracay and it didn't disappoint. A pleasant day playing volleyball, football and other sports, myself and Steale Vs chitos kids was had and everyone of the team relaxed.

The following day was spent island hopping. Essentially this was using a boat as a base whilst we snorkelled, swam, caved (where brad Pitt and Angelina Joliet climbed apparently - no one brave enough apart from me with N following not to be outdone!) I am afraid to say that I got sun burnt spending all this time in the sun and as a result spent the following days avoiding the sun and plastering myself in after sun! I know I know slip slap slop but when in paradise...! Never mind. Home beckons and back to reality, well this crazy GSE version of reality. Manila is calling and we have much work Still to do!
