Day 88. Flower island, Philippines. More fun and games.

Jan's been hurting badly ever since his humiliation in the inaugural beach Olympics 10 days ago. So after making him grovel for most of last night, we finally agreed to a rematch (I know they're only supposed to be every 4 years, but if we wait until 2011 he'll be too decrepit to lift a coconut).

This time it was to be a Decathlon. A grueling two days of running, jumping, throwing and shuttlecock keepy uppy. And Wend had the genius idea of giving everyone a 'Joker' that they could use to double the points in their favourite event - hats off to the legendary Eddie Waring.

Needless to say, Jan was almost as woeful as he'd been the first time. Finishing the day well off the pace.

Interesting game of Pictionary with the Swedes in the evening. No rules in the box, so we made up our own version. Me and Jan kicking Scandinavian ass, helped in part by 6 year old Isobella and 8 year old Alex being unable to read english.

Still, a victory's a victory, and as Newcastle fans we'll take anything we can get.
