Getting ready to do a driving tour of Bohol Island, so I’m going to dash out this post about yesterday as quickly as I can. The easiest way to do that is to let the pictures do most of the talking.
Naturally, we started the morning off with a stroll.
Found a resort called Mad Monkey that apparently has lots of branches in Asia. It looked nice enough, but it is also very isolated.We found a little beach time along the way.Solea, not Solea. This big-ass resort was located at the end of a long road in the middle of nowhere. But it appears the tourists find the place, judging from the parking lot.The Korean joints appear not to give a shit about attracting non-Korean-speaking tourists.Wow, a place named after me!More Korean signage.We took a long walk down a dead-end road, and rather than retreat, we decided to see if we could find our way through the woods.It got a little dicey in places, but we eventually found our way back to some pavement.The way we walked our 6K trek.
We stuck close to home until beer o’clock rolled around, then made our way back to Alona Beach. The place I’d thought about trying (a rooftop venue called Sky Bar) wasn’t open. Well, I knew another place I’d like for sure, so we made our Escape again.
The first beer of the day always goes down easy.Good company……nice views.And yeah, we did this again. In my defense, I wanted garlic parmesan chicken wings, but they were out of stock.At least our quesadilla came with dipping sauce this time. It was a tad on the spicy side, though.Nope, never gonna take that ride.Weird to see a local wearing that t-shirt.Then Douglas, the guy I was supposed to meet up with the previous night, arrived. A really interesting character, and we had a nice chat. We’d met before somewhere in Barretto, but neither of us remembered the where or when. I was wrong about him being a tourist; he moved here a couple of months ago. And no, he does not miss Barretto at all.And then, down on the beach, a fire show broke out.It was quite impressive and a nice way to end our evening at Escape.
Here’s a short video I took during the fire show if you want to see more.
From the March 2019 LTG archives is the post about me getting Lucky. No, I didn’t get laid; I rescued a dog. He was lucky, but me not so much. Worst dog I’ve ever owned, even bit the hand that feeds him. Oh, well. I let him live, and that’s enough.
Today’s YouTube video is one I came across by accident. This woman had the balls, er, courage, to visit Siargao Island alone, stayed away from the tourist areas, and slept in a tent by herself. Hmm, maybe not just brave, but also dumb. I post, you decide.
Today’s lameness:
Talk about being a motherfucker!A glance in the wrong direction can cost you dearly.Logic doesn’t work with stupid people, kid.
Now, I’ve got to run. Pick up time is less than thirty minutes away, and I still ain’t dressed. I need to get my priorities straight. Back tomorrow to tell you about today.
