Ay-Ay is now wholly well again,
much to our delight. A fairly close neighbour lost one of their number to the illness. Due to shortage of cash he was treated by massage; a well loved Philippine remedy for virtually anything. But not for this and in just a couple of days he was dead, poor soul.
much to our delight. A fairly close neighbour lost one of their number to the illness. Due to shortage of cash he was treated by massage; a well loved Philippine remedy for virtually anything. But not for this and in just a couple of days he was dead, poor soul.We decided a pleasure trip, rather than the innumerable runs to arrange for the final steps of farm house completion 
(large water tank and pump, dirty kitchen and the like) was due. So we took a trip up into the mountains running down the spine of Cebu Island. Alice drove us up to the Tops, where to our surprise we did not just have the wonderful view
over Cebu City but also a clear sight of the preparation of a group's video.
There was a young lady standing off to one side, soaked in water, regularly resoaked and included within the filming. What this was for was never properly discovered by us, but she was a
nice young girl, although not as charming as Ay-Ay naturally.
Alice disgraced herself by eating three ice-creams, while Ay-Ay and I had but two each. I admit I did have a Red Horse beer, but only a small one; so I
feel that I showed as a better dieter than Alice!
Having said that this photo shows that I am much more in dire need of the dieting than she is. Never mind, after Valentine's Day (with its need for good
food and plenteous wine) I will try and cut down on alcohol consumption, which is my main downfall.
It was a great afternoon but we decided not to stay after dark to see the city lights as the road is precipitous and we figured another trip to get Alice used to the road was best before staying after dark.
Perhaps just as well; our brakes started smelling and steaming as we
descended and we had to stop, luckily just by a major shopping centre, seen on the right, while they cooled. I found Alice, not having had much mountain descent driving experience, had been riding the brake. So we discussed the merits of low gears in going down as well as up steep slopes and proceeded onwards.
And should you ask did we enjoy ourselves, I refer you below.
