Tiger prawns freshly caught and about to be prepared

And then, the prawns cooked... I practically licked the plate clean!

Today is our last day at Jotay as we have decided to move on a little earlier than planned.

Firstly as we think we have both achieved as much as we wanted to whilst we were here.

Secondly, as I have itchy feet having spent a month in the same place.

And thirdly so we have more change to explore...

Did you know there are 7107 islands which consist of The Philippines, amazing huh?! So far we have visited only 3; so don't think there will much chance of even visiting the 7 islands!

So we stayed up having a few drinks with Trev to say goodbye to him before packing once again for our next adventure!!!

How exciting!!!

Staff

Not a great deal to say about today to be honest, another day of work in The Philippines, Chris in the kitchen and myself out front, almost feels like we're back in the U.K!..

Fishing

The further he walks out, the better his chance??

Almost tripping up

Walking in once again having lost his bait

Admiring his rods

About to cast

Chris patiently waiting

Chris still fishing

Although we are working, Chris always manages to find time for some fishing!

Carlo and GeeGee

Trev and Jo

Yummy food

However, the zoo they kept outside wasn't very nice to look at, I swear the Chinese eat anything!

We had a good day although it wasn't as busy as we expected just doing general tasks.

The court

This evening Trev took us to see a Jai Alai game.

The score board

At the Jai alai

This game is shown all over The Philippines on television and online for people to bet on.

Playing jai alai

It was actually quite an interesting game although the commentator obviously didn't agree

The commentator has obviously lost interest!

It doesn't usually have spectors, so we virtually had the place to ourselves!

The only spectators

Very exciting being on T.V to millions of viewers!

Cold Max

Puppy-dog eyes

But then again, this was giving away free clothes to the locals and for a good cause.

By 8:15 we were all se up and ready and although the first group wasn't due until 9am and the second until 10am, there was already a massive queue!

Before opening

Queue of people waiting to get in and pick clothes

Out of 380 items of clothing and more donated later by some of the staff, not one piece of clothing even unmatched socks were left by 11am...

A cute boy with a bag almost as big as him stuffed full of clothes!

Clothes day

Clothes day

Busy, busy, BUSY!

Waiting to get in

It was crazily busy, but a great success! It was a just a shame we couldn't have provided to everyone, but at least everyone who had tickets were provided with at least one item of clothing.
