Today was a very laid back sort of day. Our late night (or early morning maybe) gave us the desire to sleep in so breakfast (with fresh mangos again!) was at around 9:30.
Our plans for the day didn’t start til afternoon, so with nothing on the schedule for the morning, we just sat around the table and visited. It was really good to just take it easy and relax and enjoy the day.
Lunch was around 1 and we topped off fried rice and fried chicken with mango homemade ice cream again, which was just as delicious as last night.
Ford’s had some visiting to do in Tigbao and the youth were playing volleyball in the afternoon so we prepared to go there. Ford’s were spending night so Jordan’s offered to take us to the surf camp in Dulag, Sabang Daguitan Surf Camp. We packed up our clothes for a night or so, and left the house.
We caught a jeepney at the corner and rode it downtown to the van terminal. We got our tickets, waited a few minutes, then headed for Dulag.
In Dulag, we switched from van to motorbike and rode that back in to where the youth were playing volleyball. The volleyball court was muddy so they had put down rice hulls. It was soft but still slippery. We played til dark then ate banana-Q. Jordan’s showed up about then with the mission vehicle which is being rented for a few days. When Jordy had finished out the banana-Q, we hit the road for Ford’s stop. After dropping them, Jordan headed us out towards the surf camp.
I believe the camp was built as an investment for the community and is operated by locals, with the profits going back into improving the camp. It was dark when we arrived, so I’ll describe it tomorrow. It cost us $20 for a room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a bathroom.
We ate supper at the restaurant on site: fried calamari, a native chicken in cocoanut milk dish, pancit, rice, and mango shakes which was all wonderful.
We went out to the beach for a little while then headed to the cabins (Jordan and Bev are here too but in their own cabin somewhere else) for showers and bed. The beach closes at 6PM so we are getting up early to try some surfing or boogie boarding in the morning.
