We have decided to
stay one more day in Boracay.
Why not??
Yesterday we had
lunch at a busy Italian restaurant on the beachfront, on the corner of one of
the laneways to the open-air D-Mall. It
was so extraordinarily busy out there…
I took a photo of the
crowd – it looked like a football crowd, but in fact it was just people idly promenading
along the beach front. I idly thought,
Well how amazing…all those people and we don’t know one single person.
But…of course Pete
did know more than one single person! He
wandered down to the beach while I was trying to find the beach bakery (it had
vanished…) and he had been greeted like a long lost friend – Salaman, his Kurdish
companion on the plane from Manila to Coron in March! Salaman and his extended family – beautiful wife
Daria, young children, nanny, plus newly-met in-laws – were spread out over
several sun-lounges under the palm trees, having a great time.
Most of the food
available in Boracay is great – large portions, not too expensive, many
different ethnicities. But we were particular
struck with a display advertising special pancakes…
What would you
rather have?? Double choc chip, or…pork
floss??
Maybe pork floss is like pulled pork; delicious and very trendy in restaurants here.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking all kinds of things much less pleasant! Pork floss!? X
