After our last night at John's we went one more to Seashore for our American breakfast. No matter how good bacon and eggs are, I'm getting a bit tired of it. And I need some real coffee. Where is Starbucks when you need one? There were dozens in Manila, but none here. Sabang is too much of hole in the wall kind of place.
Our first fun dives together as buddies were not just fun but also funny. Poor girl got her mask all fogged up on a first dive and wondered what to do. I showed her how to get some water in it in order to wash out the fog. This she did quite successfully and... problem. One day as a certified diver and she's already forgotten how to clear the mask. Oh my. I thought I'd die laughing under the sea. After some tries and with John's help, she finally managed to keep her head back and to blow through her nose. Lesson well learned I hope. Before heading out we said our farewells to Nina and Stefan who were staying here for one more night and going dirt biking around the island.
Our second dive was even funnier. While her buoyancy skills are getting quite good, my dear wifey keeps forgetting that there are six directions to keep in mind underwater not just four. And in a beautiful style she rammed and kidnapped a big bunch of sea worms size of a badger. A big black ball was stuck to her wetsuit taking a free ride on M/S Krysia. He he... the innocent look in her eyes asking me "how did THAT got there?" was absolutely priceless.
On the way back to the shore John mentioned that a room opened up right next door to the dive shop so if we wanted to stay it's ours for just 500 pesos. A room with a view, eh? We were pretty much decided to go to Talipanan on a private jeepney, but we had to check it out and what a winner it turned out to be. A nice cozy room, with an outstanding view of the sea, a working Wi-Fi, a pool table we could use next door and a big terrace. Decision was made. We'd go diving for one last day, damaging our budget a bit more. Since we were still here and had this penthouse on top, we went out for our farewell dinner with our German buddies and then to play a couple rounds of pool back at ours. This time our farewells were final. Tomorrow morning they are leaving to go elsewhere and we're staying here for two nights before heading to Angeles City and flying to Borneo. Nina, Stefan: visit us in Warsaw at any time. We'll go drinking and bowling, albeit no diving. And have fun on the rest of your trip.
