Since my skin got a bit of sun yesterday, we were not on the beach today for a swim. Instead, we looked at the other side of the coast. You can walk across the island within a few minutes. Boracay is shaped like a bone. The wind at Bolabog Beach is a bit rougher and many kite surfers romp around in the water. Overall, there is much less operation there, which is actually quite nice. However, the sand is darker. Seaweed and also some rubbish are washed up. The boards have quite a bit of speed on it. You can go swimming better at White Beach, on "our" side.

After we increased our cash, Reiner signed up for a multi-day diving course. "Open water diver". He got a thick textbook and start is tomorrow.We then walked long on the beach during the sunset and ate a pizza at Yellow Cab. Now Reiner is learning for his diving license.

Today Reiner has done a Discover Scuba Diving – diving ground course. This went on for a good 3 hours. He was with his german/Philippine diving instructor Günther (but everyone calls him Jimmy) after the theory lessons first on the beach in shallow water.

Then we went out by boat and they dived to a depth of 12 m. I decided to follow the diving course from the boat. Was also very nice, because I was allowed to ride along and we had the huge boat with captain all for us. Submerged in reverse from the boat, the two had disappeared for 35 minutes on dive.

Reiner has seen many colorful fish, corals and a great underwater world. He enjoyed it a lot. In the late afternoon we ate fresh mango and pineapple on the beach and watched many sailing catamarans moor there and take excursionists on a trip into the sunset.

In the evening we were in a German restaurant directly at the Beach Essen. For me there was salad and for Reiner Züricher Geschnetzltes with Rösti.

As the first action, we rescued a gecko from our shower to freedom this morning. The quieken, by the way, quite loud. And then after breakfast we went to White Beach on our terrace. We had a lot of fun with the air mattress.

Clear water, clean beach, great weather!

In the evening there was pizza again and Smirnoff Mule (no mulled wine!).

Magnificent weather and a dream beach. But first we had to do the daily errands again. How to withdraw money, buy a phone card, inform what you can do here …

We bought two air mattresses because since the reopening no sunbeds on the beach are allowed. Water sports are offered in all variations.

In the evening we were eating pizza at Yellow Cab. And there was Smirnoff Mule on ice. This is Smirnoff vodka with Ginger Beer and Lime flavoured Mixer. Tastes very good at 30 degrees outside temperature!
