Merry Christmas everybody! Well to y’all in the western part
of the world that is, it’s already the 26th for us here in the
Philippines. We were a bit delayed flying into Busuanga and some creepazoid was
taking pictures of us sleeping in the airport. Thank goodness my Mom noticed
and demanded he delete his pictures. Who would take pictures of total
strangers? (As I slowly lower my hand..)
Anyway, after all the airport drama, we got on board and, oh
my, the flight view was beautiful. Absolutely stunning.
We touchdown mid-afternoon and the drive to our resort was
wonderful. My eyes were bugged out the entire way. Who would’ve thought a
cattle grid could be so pretty? I wasn’t able to get any pictures though, the
doggone van was moving too fast!
Once we got settled in, we took a little walk and through
this sketchy little alley we found the funkiest restaurant bar. La Sirenetta. I giggled at the naked mermaids. I've still got some kid left in me.
I
highly recommend their margaritas. Their signature drink, the Blue Mermaid is a
margarita with Guyabano and Lychee. It’s got a bit of a bite with a sweet Lychee
aftertaste. Delicious.
They’ve got a pool table for the customers to play at while
they wait for their food and drinks. Their lemon shrimp pasta? To die for. And
they’ve got this sweet little candle light lamp set on the table.
All in all,
we had a wonderful time and it’d be a pleasure to go back. If you ever find
yourself looking for a bar with friendly people, sharp drinks and great food,
La Sirenetta is that place!
