When we walked down to the White Sand beach this morning (about 5 minutes walk) we found out almost by accident that Paradise Garden had their own chairs and parasol there. With an armed guard. Perfect.

We spent most of the whole day here. I mainly in the shadow of the parasol while Chie was out in the sun. From time to time we went into the water to cool off. The water was clear and refreshing but not too cold. Probably around 25 degrees.

The whole day we heard drums and people shouting further down the beach. It was Philippines celebrating some kind of a national holiday.

At night we had dinner at Manana, a small Mexican restaurant a little bit further away that Aria. The food was nice and the service friendly. But it was hard work to get there and to go home from there because of all the people and the hot and humid weather. Even at night. We decided to have the dinner at the hotel tomorrow and hope that most people had gone back home by Monday morning.

We were both very tired after spending a whole day by the beach. Some part long travel and some part the hot weather. I fell asleep while reading and Chie just dropped dead beside me.

The power was an even bigger problem today. Probably because of all the tourists for the national holiday. Everyone is using AC and it is too much for the electricity system that collapses now and then. Our AC makes a terrible noise just before the power is cut so it was difficult to really have a good sleep during the night.
