Lady Boys, Fire Jugglers and no money.......


We arrived at White beach on the boat from Abra like some sort of explorer putting foot on land. As we walked up the beach we were surrounded by people trying to sell watches, massages, rooms and trinkets. After a long days travelling it is sometimes quite difficult to smile and say no thank you.
Our first task was to get some food, cheap food, it was becoming very apparent that the advice given in the Lonely Planet, to stock up on cash in San Jose, advice we had chosen to ignore, was in fact good advice.

After some food we agreed that Sabi and I would do the accommodation run first. We were quick! Within 10 mins we had found somewhere suitable and
Damp room again but cheap
We stayed on white beach three days, it was good fun.
Three nights. Compared to some of the places we had been too in the last week of travels in Mindoro it was quite lively. The first night there was a drag act on the beach which was hilarious. The bars there had more than their fair share of lady boys
Lady boy show was on the first night. It was very funny,and i got vert very drunk on shorts, fuck the fact we have no money. At Abra Kip had found a visa ATM and lent me 4k. I did my best to spend it all at once. I even had lessons in fire dancing. Not with real fire but my co-ordination was somewhat impaired with all then vodka.
There was goood food, again a welcome change to the rest of Mindoro. All three nights we had BBQ on the beach, delicious !
The beach was OK but we spent the three days just chilling out.
On the last night Kareoke great rendition of suspicious minds (better than yours Mrs Billinton.
I did ' A Fairy Tale in New York' I had forgotten how quickly the lyrics went.
Good laugh though!
