Had a real fun day swimming today. The water was really warm! It was a nice place as well, next to a mountain and with Table Tennis and a Karaoke machine by the side of the pool.
We also had some really nice 'sticky rice', a traditional Philippine dish that has rice cooked in coconut milk with lots of sugar ... delicious!
Shoulder fights were fun (Sarah only beat me by resorting to tickling!), plus lots of fun on the Karaoke machine ... see photo below!
Going out for tea soon at the Mall, then maybe even an early night (though probably not). Just two more full days left ... looking forward to coming home though it will be tough to say goodbye.
Medical bulletin ... Katie & Rebekka did not swim today but came with us and we're fine. Katie is still in a bit of pain. Lorna's ankle is still a bit swollen by she was able to swim today.
All in all though the group are doing really well, it is a brilliant group to lead.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the pool. It's good to have a day to yourselves...you have to replenish your batteries every now and again.
Katie & Rebekka, sorry you couldn't join in with the swimming I know Katie was looking forward to it, having spoken to her yesterday (thanks again Mark)
Kates, I'm assuming you are black and blue with bruises as well as the cuts....old habits die hard...remember some of the spectacular bike accidents you've had...was this worse???
All of you enjoy your last couple of days...and be very proud of what you have given to the kids these last two weeks.
