We got up late and then decided we would hire another motorbike and make the trip up to the rock pools. This plan was last minute and didn’t work out. Ben, our motor bike bloke, was out surfing someplace and nobody knew where, the XRM had been hired by another Aussie and was out for…
Morning Yoga Session We got up reasonably early so that I could fill up the bike and return it to Ben. Afterwards we made our way over to a yoga place that we had seen the day before. Mum, Christine and I were the only participants. Having said that, it was exactly what we needed,…
I went out early to collect the XRM bike, this is a farm type motor bike and as such it had a fair bit more go in it than the scooter. I collected Christine and we rode out to the wet markets to drop the clothes and books to Angelo so that he could take…
Flo contacted us early to see if we wanted to go out on the boats for an Island tour. We said count us in, we got organised in record time and made our way out to the launch site, which was just in front of the wet markets. Christine and Scotty were starting to come…
The Mission This was a super interesting day. Everyone was starting to run low on cash and having been rorted blind in Australia when trying to exchange money, we decided that we would make it our mission to hunt down the best deal that we could. We had already transferred money using Western Union, it…
The Boat Flo had organised for a boat to take us out to surf near the islands off La Luna, and we were to meet up with them at 7am. We had organised for the surf shop at Cloud 9 to deliver a couple of boards to Ocean 101 at 6:30am. Perfectly organised, with some…
Morning Surf Session We sent a message to Flo to find out when everyone wanted to meet up for a surf. When we didn’t receive a response, we ate some breakfast and then made our way over to Ocean 101. When we arrived we found that Scotty and Flo had already gone out. We made…
Philippines Time We were up nice and early so that we would be ready to meet the van to take us to the airport. We had arranged with Andy for a 5am pickup which would give us enough time to finish the checkin process and catch our flight to Siargao. We made our way down…
That was awesome 17 days of surfing, skating, paddle boarding, riding bikes, kicking footballs and catching up with friends and family. We managed to book some time at the Kirra Beach shack for the third year in a row (if we keep this up it will turn into a tradition) and here are some of…
