2Bears go to the Beach

The 2Bears are going on holiday and Ms Bear is really excited. The last holiday was in New Zealand, where we attended the wedding of our friends the Swannys at the lovely Waiheke Island near Auckland, back in April/May. That's a whole 5 months ago !

In the last 2 years, the 2Bears have gone to New Zealand, Sydney, Phuket, Bali, Boracay, San Francisco, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Siem Reap, Bangkok, KL, Penang, Langkawi, and Jakarta, which doesn't leave many places unvisited. We've ruled out Bangkok and Chiangmai as destinations for now (even though the home decor shopping would've been good) as the new airport and political situation in Thaland both need to simmer down a bit. Since we loved Boracay for the crystal clear waters and Filipino food and hospitality, we are venturing back to the Philippine islands, this time to Bohol.

Where's that ? It's 1.5 hours by fast ferry from Cebu, which is well served by Silkair. There is a lovely resort on the island called The Ananyana and we look forward to being marooned there like Robinson Crusoe. Our (wo)Man Fridays will give us massages and bring us delectable mangoes, and we will gaze out into ... the rain. Although Bohol is outside the typhoon belt, the weather may be awful in the wake of Xangsane, but at this point a thundery blustery break is better than no break. It's a 4-day escape from the renovation woes and the incessant desk work that Ms Bear faces each day.
