Siargao Day 6 - 3rd July: After a full day of relaxation barring a two hour surf at Cloud 9 yesterday, I was re-energized and ready to jam-pack today with more exciting things to see and do in Siargao.  At 6am when the tide was high Ellie and I went for a surf. The water was freezing compared to the other days we've had here so far.  In the last week my surfing has improved dramatically. I can't believe it's nearly been a week already, it seems like I arrived yesterday. I laugh at the fact that when I first got here I was wondering how I was going to get through an entire 9 days here without any friends and with hardly anything to do. Things really turned around - they turned out better than I could have possibly wished for or imagined.  Today was another great day. After the surf I stopped at the side of the road and bought a t-shirt saying, ' I Surfed Cloud 9 ,' because it's one of the top 5 places to surf in the world! It's a huge thing to check off of y...

Siargao Day 4 - 1st July: This was the best day on the island yet. It started with a 5am surf at Cloud 9. The waves were staggeringly perfect, the water warm, the vibe phenomenal. Even though I'm the furthest thing from a morning person, you can't help but be stoked when you're awake at 5am on a hot and humid tropical paradise, the suns already out and crisping your shoulders and nose, there's a handful of travellers and locals combined all trying to score the waves and cheering each other on. After the surf I treated myself to a delicious cappuccino and an Asian spicy fried rice breakfast with an egg on top at Kermit resort. When Georgie, Harry and Ellie woke up they had a quick bite to eat and we all got ready for a day trip to Sohoton Cove. Things you need to know about your trip to Sohoton Cove: It takes about 1.5 hours to get there by a really loud engined boat (travel expense: 5000 pesos) While they do have snacks available there (the most incredible chocolate I...

Siargao Day 3 - 30th June: After last nights party which you can read about in my previous post HERE I'm feeling a bit rough. I was supposed to go surfing at 5am... that didn't happen. I completely overslept. Whoops. I think 5am was a bit unrealistic anyway. I'm the worst morning person - especially after a night out!! But I'll attempt it again tomorrow.  Not surfing this morning meant I had a pretty lazy morning chilling around the Kermit Resort.  My arms were covered in a heat rash and the reef was still stuck in my foot. Relaxing and nursing my rum induced hangover wasn't bad though because the sun peaked out from behind the clouds for the first time since I arrived and I was able to find a lovely sun lounger on the Kermit grounds where I lay and soaked up the sun and read my book.  I never thought I'd be so excited to put suncream on!! :) When the others from the party last night all woke up we decided to rent some bikes and explore Siargao Island. There wa...

Siargao Day 2 - 29th June: Rolling out of bed this morning I was ready to make the most of my first full day in Siargao. I pulled on a brown hippie skirt and a bright orange tie dye crop top over my bikini and headed to breakfast. I ordered the omelette with mango and banana fruit pieces on the side, a banana shake and a black instant coffee. Just as I was munching away, the rain began. I decided to wait the rain out and read my book for about an hour while I woke up with my caffeine fix.  I can't really imagine a better place to just slum out for the day. It kind of reminds me of a beach bar back home called PiliPili - just better.  After about an hour the rain still hadn't subsided. I didn't have anyone to talk to - and I had nothing to do. No one was around. It was only 9am and the loneliness made me just want to have a glass of wine or a cocktail already. It's astounding how quickly one turns to alcohol when they need comforting.  I resisted the urge and decided to ...
