Today has been our last day in Moalboal but we have loved it so much we are coming back for New Year!
It has been great staying on the beach with access to the coral on our doorstep. Everyday we have seen so many different 'creatures' that live amongst the reef. Today we spotted some unusual fish ... half blue / half yellow, hiding amongst the coral. Oh, and a white nudibranch that we've never seen before anywhere!
We ate lunch at Gee Gee's place, the amazing Filipino cook. Today, we tried some lovely vegetable combination and egg plant. The egg plant is so good!
We tried a new lady's fair in the evening. She had on offer some weird looking pickled seaweed which we tried. It was quite nice but the texture a little unusual. We followed this with 'halo halo', a local dessert made with crushed ice, mixed fruit, jelly, cornflakes and evaporated milk. Just in case it's not sweet enough, it is sprinkled with sugar. Mmmm.
We need to pack our bags for the first time in a while. Can Christine fit in her new .... 'glow in the dark' flip flops? Such dilemmas. Tomorrow we head to Negros, the next island of the Visayas. That'll be 2 out of the 7000 we have visited. Only 6998 to go!
As we are on the move and just in case we have no internet access over the next few days...
Merry Christmas to everyone from us!
