Today we have had a lazy day! We have slept a lot in preparation for tonight's celebrations!
We ate dinner about 9 pm, later than usual and treated ourselves to something special for New Year. A huge pizza! The bar started to fill up and a few people from the hostel came to join us. We paid the bill and headed off to the halo halo store for another New Year treat. Halo halo is like a desert, crushed ice, jelly pieces, fruit, cornflakes and lashing of condensed milk! Tastes great. We continued walking along the beach front to the next resort where a band was was playing Bob Marley. Some people were dancing, others dangling their feet in the resort pool. We relaxed in their comfy seats and enjoyed listening to the music for a while. As 12 o'clock drew closer we headed back to a bar where a band were playing, ready to welcome the New Year. At midnight, everyone went wild! Blowing plastic horns, fireworks lit up the sky, the band sang Auld Lang Syne, although you couldn't hear it over the raucous celebrations! We wished people a Happy New Year and headed on to the beach. Well, we tried but our path was blocked. Too many Fireworks zipping around our heads. We found a different route to the beach to welcome in the New Year Filipino style!
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
