Trip to Matabungkay Beach

The photo function isn't working for me right now so I'll post the photos tomorrow.
Yesterday we went on a day trip to Matabungkay beach in Batangas province. We left at 6:30 am for the long but very worthwhile trip. The beaches here are broken up into private resorts where you pay a set fee but get the priviledges of a cottage where you can take shelter from the sun or rain and somewhere to cook you food. As this is a tropical country the water was lukewarm and very nice to swim in, so different from the freezing cold sea of England. The huts behind me are mini-cottages that float on the water but get a little submerged during high-tide. I'm now suffering from the inevitable sunburn (sometimes being white is really annoying) but it was a great day enjoyed by all.

Happy feast of St. Luke,
In Christ through Mary,
Daniel
