I was on better spirits when we reach our destination and its breathtaking beauty actually helped improve my mood. It was by far the best sandbar I've ever seen! We asked our boat guide, \u003Ci\u003EKuya\u003C\/i\u003E Emil, to dock the boat so we can enjoy and take \u003Cstrike\u003Elots and lots and lots of\u003C\/strike\u003E pictures. It was definitely the highlight and most loved moment of our trip.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/2893007365\/\" title=\"The sandbar by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3137\/2893007365_deea1183ef.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"The sandbar\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cfont size=\"1\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EBest sandbar ever!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/2893009409\/\" title=\"Lounging by the sandbar by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3158\/2893009409_88a55a5756.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Lounging by the sandbar\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/2893851300\/\" title=\"Sandbar formation by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3288\/2893851300_7061e1253c.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Sandbar formation\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/2893850362\/\" title=\"Sandbar love by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3134\/2893850362_eb979a39f1.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Sandbar love\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/font\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe afternoon of our second day was spent resting, swimming and working in our hotel (budget and project charters again). I took a 30-minute swim in the pool doing strokes that were once an active part of me. It was good to know that I can still dive, do a perfect Butterfly, and the right breathing for Freestyle despite the mega pounds I gained and the years away from the pool. I still love swimming to bits! \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI spent the latter part of the day doing the things I love. I was able to relax and hang-out in the beach shore with my laptop and some music. I've been dying to do that since \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/abbiereal.multiply.com\/photos\/album\/78\/Celebrating_888_and_some_more_in_Boracay\"\u003Eour Boracay escapade\u003C\/a\u003E last August.

We capped the night with a very wonderful by-the-beach-and-under-the-stars massage to de-stress.
