A+E and The Gigantes experience

Hello! :-)
Sorry i haven't been on here for ages there isn't any internet on a tropical island believe it or not haha.

So lots and lots have happened over these past few days. A week has gone by already can't believe it! A+E has been brilliant fun the staff are absolutely lovely and have been so welcoming. Im the tallest out of all the staff which they all find so funny especially when treating a patient and i have to get on my knees haha. I've seen lots of very gory things so I'll spare that for you :-)
We've so far been to the beach which was really nice and have experienced the Philippino night life woo! We had flaming sambucas and danced the night away with the crazy dancing locals! Decided to skype the fam at 1am in the morning Philippines time and around 6pm English time which was really nice but really funny because i was high on life and the room was spinning slightly haha. Then 2 hours later we travelled by van, tricycle and boat to get to the Gigantes Island where we spent 2 days and I've literally just got back.
It was absolutely stunning, this picture is of me (bit obvs) with a puppy who was called Blackey on the island we stayed at. I can't describe how beautiful it was, the sea was the bluest of the blue and there were palm trees! It was like being in a film. We had scallops, squid, crab, seashells and of course rice which in the Philippines is a must for every dish! We did so many things so im going to list them and then when i see you back home I'll describe in more detail :-) We went island hopping, rode on motorbikes through this tiny little village, swam in the sea, did a bit if cliff jumping and chilled clinging onto the boat in the sea which was so cool! Then we sunbathed, did some caving, star gazing, played with the puppies and local children, saw the effects of the typhoon and climbed up a little rock hill type thing in just bikinis and flip flops the view was incredible! We had tonnes of funeage it was absolutely amazing :-)
Apart from being quite sunburnt and a little homesick at times which both i could have guessed would have happened im loving it so much. Hope you're all ok :-)
Lots of love
