We are now in Boracay, ‘The Mini Ibiza’. It’s not, I don’t know how it developed the name, its pretty tame.
Anyway, I actually have the shits so I’m not having the best of time. It started a couple of days ago. We went to a Ukrainian place for lunch in El Nido and had a mozzarella pitta and some dumpings. I was so full and we were getting a Van down to Puerto Princes that afternoon which was going to take 6-8 hours. It took us 4. Our driver was insane.
He nearly ran over a number of dogs, sign posts and a school girl, and he drove way over the speed limit the entire time. I felt so sick and could not wait to get out. As were arrived to our homestay I want straight to the toilet and have been going since – both ends. Fab.
I am sorry for sharing this, but the truth is… this is the reality of travelling to foreign places. It’s bound to happen at some point.
Despite my condition, I went out last night with everyone. We had pre-drinks at our hostel before going to the famous Mad Monkeys. We had a good laugh and Micha and Eleanor were there. Of course I shouldn’t have been drinking with the condition I was in so from 1am onwards I spent the night throwing up on the beach. T was in the same state that I was so we sat there together. It makes me laugh.
They say that travelling can either make or break a couple and he has definitely seen me at my absolute worst this trip! I’m even having poo conversations with him now which I never thought would happen. When we sat there last night throwing up side by side it made me realise that I am beyond comfortable with this guy and I love him more than I ever have. Travelling has definitely made us stronger!
Today we went to get a smoothie from Jonah’s as it is the nicest one we’ve had in the Philippines. T and I went to the beach afterwards to try get a few last rays before we head to Hong Kong. I couldn’t handle the beach for very long and ended up spending the rest of today in bed. On our way back to the hotel I had to make yet another pit stop to the bathroom.
I am so annoyed because I had booked in for a massage but I definitely cant make it . T has gone with Lou and Tamsin while I stay in bed. We’re going out for dinner tonight. I really don’t feel up to it but its our last night together before we all head our separate ways so I can’t miss out!! I don’t know when the next time i’ll see the girls again so it’s quite sad actually.
Not a great way to end my time with them!
