A jeepney in Manila. These are the local buses

03/28/18 Working at the beach

After sleeping in, enjoying a cozy breakfast, and relaxing on the sun loungers and splashing around/snorkeling in the sea, Basti joined me and we went snorkeling with the camera this time. After an initial "Hmm, it's empty here all of a sudden," things picked up and we actually found seahorses and Nemos. After almost an hour, Basti had to get out of the sun, and I continued alone, determined to get a particular fish in front of the camera. Unfortunately, the camera wasn't cooperating - it wouldn't focus properly, and in the end, the battery died.

To wash off the salt, I then jumped into the pool with the camera. To complete the vacation feeling, we had a pineapple smoothie under the mega palm trees. We spent the rest of the day relaxing in the sun, in the sea, or while working. To end the day, I had a pot of tea in the hotel's Asian restaurant, and Basti had chicken satay skewers. So it was an exciting day with lots of relaxation.
