So finally (shaken but not stirred) we arrived to Boracay on January 1st 2009 and stayed until the 4th. Since the weather was a bit cloudy we dedicated ourselves to some relaxation in the beach enjoying the food and the booze.
We had some casualties; my natural hate for crustaceans saved me from some nasty food poisoning that almost did away with my workmates (Nacho and Pablo), Conrad also decided to go for a swim at 4h00 in the morning and tried to get himself a cold (he did succeed in screwing himself for one whole day), Oscar did go for alcoholic poisoning (but finally got to the plane).
Apart from “chilling out” we decided to ride some quads and to visit “the bat caves” (yeah finally some decent climbing and caving); these caves were like a vision of hell; a dark hole with vapour fumes coming out of it, filled with thousand of screaming bats (including the occasional bat poop) and last but not least poisonous snakes! (do watch the snake, third photo on top, the guide thought it was very neat to wake the thing up to take a picture; luckily this snake was lazy).
This was actually pretty cool trip, because we only had two torch-lights; that were used by our guides, who would occasionally illuminate our way in order to avoid falling into the watery death waiting at the bottom of the cave. I was also attacked by my arch-nemesis, the common rock crab, but survived.
Update: Just added some of the pictures at the nightclubs (including one with a random Estonian guy from the EU Commission, I think his name was Vido).
