Hi everyone,
Arrived saely in Cebu at 10.00 pm. Saturday night.
Very good trip to Hong Kong despite it being with British Aiways. Only downside was I was sitting with a Belgian and an Austrian (Hear the one about the Englishman, Belgian and Austrian?) They kept trying to outdo each other - the Belgian speaking German and vise-versa. I just sat there watching movies - but at one point they remarked on 'How quiet the Englishman was' I therefore got up and said to the Austrian - in German - 'Excuse me sir I am going to the bog to puke' Then - as I passed the Belgian I said to him in French 'our German isn't up to much is it?'
Lovely to wind up Nerds like that! Really cheered me up! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
H.K. to Manila was the usual immaculate Cathay Pacific service.
Had to wait in Manila a few hours before catching one of Cebu Pacific's beautiful airbuses to Cebu.
What a pity CP's ground staff aren't as good as their in flight staff.
Spotty nerk at the check-in told me I had excess baggage. I didn't 'cos I checked in UK. He told me 120 pesos - went to pay and then found it was 136 pesos. That's bloody 2,350,000% inflation per annum by my reckoning.
Touched down in Cebu at 9.40 pm. and met Hanna!!!!! :D:xxgrinning--00xx3::)
We are staying in Cebu City for a few days - then going to Dumaguete on Friday and then - who knows?
Writing this from a cafe at Ayala Mall at the mo. Anyone around? My cellphone number is:
(Keith - am I disguising this enough?)
It starts with a 0 followed by a 9 - then put in 205. Have a rest then do a 9 and a 7. Make a cuppa, come back and try 5 and a zero then a nine and finish with a 2.
God bless you all,
Al ( AND HANNA!! YEAH!!!!!) :BouncyHappy::cwm12:
