Boracay
with laws for everyone
This morning we are once again sitting on the patio of our hotel drinking coffee, eating breakfast and enjoying the coolness of the morning wearing tank tops and shorts. There is no shortage of roosters crowing. Roosters are everywhere we have been in Asia.
Since Gary got his cold we haven’t done much but lay around on the beach and read. Hopefully it is a short lived bug and Linda doesn’t get it! She had a cold when we were in Koh Lanta and luckily Gary didn’t get that one.
We were visiting with one of the hotel owners here last night about the changes and various properties in Boracay. Specifically one property by Station 1 which Korean & Chinese investors bought into before the island closure. They built a high rise hotel on the beach and shortly after opening, the Philippine government decree to clean up Boracay forced them to close the hotel and they now have to tear it down. Definitely not a good investment, sounds like Walton International.
We ate at the Subo Restaurant again last night. Our petite little waitress, Eden, asked if we knew about TripAdvisor and if we’d be so kind to put on a review and mention her she would provide us with a complimentary item that turned out to be mango sorbet with fresh chunks of mango on it. It was the best part of the entire meal! Ya, our glowing review hopefully keeps her boss happy. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with ornate large wood tables. Smaller tables use treadle sewing machine frames as their base. There are several places that we have seen the re-purposing of singer treadles once used by tailors now used to hold table tops in restaurants. A super cool idea for recycling and a bit nostalgic.
Its now 8:44 am and time to get off the patio. Too warm already.
