Wow a busy one. I take Amy to school wearing shorts, t-shirt, tattoos showing, thongs and maybe a slight hint of Australian accent. Ms Pat approaches me and explains that she’s teaching the kids re balance and surfing, then asks; “Could you come in and present to the kids on surfing?” I’m like; “Eh, sorry I haveRead More

Mary’s family have a pet monkey called Moy Moy. An aggressive little bugger, very territorial and hater of women it seems.

I’ll start with the word to sum this whole experience up – BREATHTAKING! We stayed at the most amazing place in Bohol –  Anda.  Anda is like a biscuit that someone has taken loads of bites out of. Small beach-fronts, private beach fronts, white sandy beaches, coral, topaz sea, topaz sky. Mary’s Mum had hadRead More
