Day 92 Dalaguete, Cebu

We left Boracay today and headed back to Dalaguete. We took the scenic route back taking a 2.5 hour bus ride that went around the island. Today was also my official last day of duty, however, since I extended my trip until February 20, the nursing staff said I could keep coming in and helping out until the day I leave. Here's some pictures of the ride back!

Day 91 Boracay, Philippines

Today is our last night in Boracay (we'll be leaving tomorrow). We topped off our visit by going para-sailing and taking a night walk along the beach!

Day 90 Boracay, Philippines

Today was our second day in Boracay and we went helmet diving and snorkeling!
Here's a video of the helmet dive!

And here's some snorkeling pictures and us just chilling on the beach.

We also got to see a bit of the night life. 

I thought this one was pretty funny. Boracay Obama Grill. 

This design was carved and painted on a living coconut tree.

Day 89 Boracay, Philippines

Today we left for Boracay Island, which is north of Cebu. The plane ride was pretty quick.

As I said in the previous post, Boracay is a tourist destination so when we got there it was loaded with people from all over the world. Anyway we took a banana boat ride today and planned our next two days which will be helmet diving, snorkeling, and para-sailing.

Anyway, here's a bunch of pictures and a clip of the first day!

Apparently Manny Pacquiao regularly buys out this hotel when
he visits Boracay.

On a side-note, one of the coolest things about traveling with nurses is that their nursing skills go with them. When we landed on the island and got lunch, one of the nurses needed an IV injection of Ranitidine to help manage her hyperacidity. Unlike in the US, pharmacies sells syringes and injections over the counter because it's still one of the most widely used routes for administration of medication in the Philippines. The nurses offered to let me deliver the injection but I declined because I didn't want to waste the medication in case I missed, so I acted as the tourniquet instead. Here's a video clip (you can hear a little bit of Bisaya, the language, in the clip).
