Our final full day

Beautiful morning walk again along Alona Beach,




...followed by breakfast at Gavroche again, this time with Hamish.

Then back for a swim in the pool and some downtime out of the heat. For our last night we have had to move from our large room to a smaller room, but looking out on the pool. I think we'll cope!


For the third time we headed to Dumaluan Beach for the afternoon and early evening. A beautiful long, white-sand beach with some lovely resorts, but also access for everyone for a small fee - and so a popular spot with locals.



We played volleyball until the heat defeated us, then took a dip in the shallow water before walking up the beach.
Another wedding celebration...


and another beautiful sunset.


Then dinner again at the local's 'street food' stall. Our white skin and ignorance make us stand out so much that the woman didn't just remember us, she told us which vegetables dish we ordered the other night. And it was ribs again for the boys - their newly acquired taste.



A delicious meal chatting about our highlights of the trip. Everyone voted for the visit with the sponsored children, especially in Tagbilaran where we got to interact with them for longer; plus Hamish voted for the zipline.
I have loved the whole thing - experiencing our compassion partnership and meeting our sponsored children, seeing some extraordinary sights and creatures, and slowing down for the rhythm of our final relaxing days. Most of all I have loved doing it all with Hamish and Elijah. So very thankful to our generous God.
