We’re at the airport, waiting to board, and I’m feeling kind of sick. We ate so much these past three days and I am hating the fact that I haven’t worked out at all this week. We were able to squeeze in a short trip to Paradise Island this morning, and my grand plan was to jog on the shore. But since it was high tide, there was no shoreline to speak of. I also wanted to kayak, but for some reason, that plan didn’t push through either.

A sleepy hullo from Davao!
We just came from a nearby spa called Ayurveda (Mabini cor. Avancena Street) and I’m feeling totally relaxed. I finally got a hot stone massage–something I’ve been longing to try for ages–and it just set me back P225! Can you say “muy cheapo”? Everything was 25% off, but even at full price, it still would’ve come out much cheaper than a Manila massage. My other companions got regular full-body massages at less than P200, and another got one with two masseuses for just P260. Ooh, that’s something I’d like to try, two pairs of hands kneading all the knots away!

Mabuhay!
I am blogging live from the beautiful city of Davao! It’s my first time ever here–in fact, it’s my first time ever in Mindanao so yay! It took me a while to find this coffee shop with free wireless internet access though–I had to walk around aimlessly from our little hotel, with about five people pointing me to five different directions! Lucky I found the place before dark.
First impressions: Davao has got a pretty nice airport, it’s really clean, and it’s surprisingly warm! I bought a jacket thinking it would be as chilly as Manila has been lately (freakish weather)–forgetting that this area is closer to the equator. Apparently, in Davao, the sun is merciless come March, and typhoon season never comes.
