It's much nicer here. The only bump was the guy wearing a Coral Cay shirt who told us at the pier that he was sent from the resort to pick us up, and it was included, but when we got there it turned out to be a horrible lie and he demanded 200 pesos. The resort charges 350 for pick-up, so it wasn't the worst thing that has ever happened, but it should have cost 30. I've never even heard of this scam before, so here I am warning you.
Everyone else was incredibly nice. Marlon, the owner of a nearby restaurant, found a motorbike for us to rent for 400 and we drove around the entire island yesterday, dodging cows and stray chickens and saying hello to every single person who lives here. It was a highlight of this trip, the road is in fair condition and there are few other vehicles, so we could putt along at 25 mph and admire the rice steps and palm groves. Everyone sits out on their porch and waves at the passerby's. Two 8 year old girls squealed "I LOVE YOU" and then dissolved into giggles.
We're catching a ferry to Dumaguete at 4:30 and after that we have no idea what we are doing.
