So I’m still looking at my girls figure and deep brown eyes! OK fast forward to next day and time to explore a bit. while I was still asleep maricel had checked that my suitcase had arrived phew I can change clothes and hand out presents. So now traveling in taxis noticing that everyone has Speed o disconnected or maybe broken, hmm don’t think Harrogate council would let me get away with that! But I liked the taxi fares.
My first trip on a jeepney! Now I’m only 5’9” but a giant in Philippines lol I hit my head on jeepney roof many times. I noticed to everywhere I went people were staring at me I felt like a celebrity I quite enjoyed it to tell the truth lol. On to the shopping malls where a security guard pokes around your bags with a drumstick! Now the shopping experience while waiting for my girl to buy a swimsuit suddenly the female shop assistants stopped serving, lined up and started to dance!!
Wow amazing it’s sad that it would never happen in UK people would just not tolerate it as we are always in such a rush. I really was enjoying Davao and now was treated to the 3 people to do one persons job routine when paying for goods in the mall. I tried the famous halo halo and was enjoying it but still wondering why it had jelly beans in it without the coating-was someone employed to suck the sugar off!!.
Back at the Marco polo maricel’s family arrived and I really felt welcomed and one of the family in no time, some of the younger ones went in the pool while my girls brother and wife came with us for a drink or 2 in the hotel bar. While drinking in bar a young attractive local girl was catching the eye of 2 westerners and I thought how lucky I was already with my girl and her lovely family.
Once everyone had gone it’s back to our lovely room and plan for the next day and what wonderful adventures it would bring. tbc
