Philippines – Day 8

A late start this Thursday. A picture of the house we’re staying at. 

We went to my auntie’s family estate. 9 hectares of various fruit trees(cocunut, rambutan, avocado etc) and a mini waterfall. 


Eating lunch in the water. 

After we had lunch we headed up to the top in search of coconuts. We started throwing rocks to try and knock some down but that was proving impossible. The workers soon caught on to what we were trying to do and pointed us in the direction of a much lower tree. They attached a knife to a big stick and cut some down. After cutting it open, I had a fresh coconut to drink the juices from. 1 gulp. 2 gulps, 3, 4, 5… this coconut was never ending! Felt like I drank at least a litre before if finally ended. Deceiving little sucker!

We packed up the vans and headed back. 


After a short rest, we all went out for dinner at Max’s Restaurant. Basically the Filipino version of KFC. 

We each had chicken, rice and noodles. For dessert Halo Halo
