    Smile Back from a fantastic two weeks in the Philippines

    Just got back this morning and spent an amazing two weeks with my mahal and had a great tour of Manila and Alaminos in the province Pangasinan.

    Glad you had a good time! What places did you visit? How was the weather? Was it your first time there?

    Sorry Fred for the short post. I was so busy sorting stuff out.
    I stayed at a resort in Lucap Alaminos Pangasinan near my mahals place and it was so relaxing. We visited loads of nice places including the Manila Ocean Park and Manila Cathedral. We rode a Jeepney and tricyle and also an FX Toyota taxi.
    The weather was nice, sunny with scattered clouds and very warm and hot.
    We had clear starry nights.
    It rained with thunder for one day.
    Was sad leaving my mahal behind but we had an amazing time

    Nick..Did you have time to check out the Pangasinan falls? One of my first adventures in the P.I !!
    Great place except from the boatmen!! Extraordinary rip off merchants.. Hope that BS has changed since my last visit. Plz advise.

    @Fred, Yes we've been there and it's so chilling.
    It's near Hundred Islands.
    Yes the weather here is miserable and it wasn't good to be back but we're all well.

    And the boat men?? Are they a little more regulated and tourist friendly these days? Or are they still a pain in the ass?
