Supermarket Sweep

Awesome early morning snorkelling with no one around except the local fishermen hauling their nets.

After we walked the 4km to Moalboal centre to buy some snacks and visit the ATM. The charge for using it is nearly £4 and you are restricted to taking out £150. This is the worst deal in any country so far. If you don't have a special bank card like we do then you will be charged double!

In the supermarket there was some dancing and a man on the mic. He started a competition. The first person who could bring him a dollar won a prize. Christine had a dollar and took it over to him. He then continued to ask a series of questions.

Where are you from? The UK  Do you like Moalboal? Yes    Do you have any children? No

Why not? Err (An awkward moment as they always ask this and don't really understand the answer. However, not usually in the middle of a bustling supermarket. We laughed about the different cultures and what you should and shouldn't ask people).

After the questions Christine was handed her 'prize' - 2 new pillowcases!  Now we need to find someone donate them to.

We walked the 4km home laden with our shopping. A huge weight was the local cakes at 5 pesos each (about 6-7p each)!

More snorkelling. We saw 5 turtles this time!

We are enjoying the routine of snorkelling, eating, relaxing in the  hammock and sleeping. Life's a beach!
