Day 29

Up fairly early to go to white Alona Beach on neighboring Panglao Island via older style mini bus. Walked end to end of the gorgeous white sand beach and stopped at one beachfront eatery/bar for drinks where we sat for a couple hours mid-day just enjoying the ambiance. Maitri had a buko, a young coconut (milk) drink, and then ate the jelly-like lining. Ole had a beer, then we both had stir-fried veggies and rice for lunch. Then continued on with another mini jeepney to Panglao Poblacion, the main city on the island. However, we just passed through and continued back to Tagbilaran City. There, just walking around the market area near the center we came across lots of guayabanos. In fact, we were able to purchase four nice ripe ones and immediately consumed the two smallest when we returned to the inn. There we relaxed but it was not very comfortable as it was so hot. We stripped down and turned the fan on high and both had cold showers to cool down. It's definitely heating up here as the Filipino summer arrives. We'll have more relaxing beach time when we proceed to Palawan Island.
