not such a successful day

last sunday it was suppose to be the first day of our kiteboarding lessons with freestyle academy, as we were learning how to fly the small kite, the wind was just not cooperating. So we decided to come back the next day. We decided to rent a motorbike to kill time and maybe check out the new shangrila resort here in boracay. We had a few apprehension cause the last time we rented a scooter here that was 11-12 years ago, when JP and I just started dating, we broke the motorbike and really was quite a hassle.

So we rented the motorbike for 2 hours and and went to Shangrila, it was magnificent (details in another post.) So we decided to check Puka Beach and started to go home. But lo and behold, what we thought to be a pleasant bike ride, ended up with a flat tire, and not the type that you just put air in it. Good thing there was a kind guy who fixed it for us, but we still had to suffer about 45 mins of this insolent man, who had nothing better to do but just make side comments and unsolicited advice.

We returned the motorbike, went home, looking forward to just lying down after a stressful day, what was waiting for us was a gecko that was bigger than my size 9 (ladies) slipper. We asked for help from our landlord, and of course he just laughed at us and probably thinking this stupid city dwellers.

Anyway, hoping its a better day next day and our gecko guest decides to leave our place.
