My Christmas in the Phils

[imagine]

feeling a bit better now the antibiotics are doing their stuff, so maybe now i can start the story of my trip,just a little bit today,

as you know my flight aberdeen to schipol was canceled and i was rebooked on a later flight which connected to my original transfer schipol to manila,and was much better as with this one i only had just over an hour transfer time,so arrived in manila just as planned and on time

the airports and transfers were much easier than i had imagined,

but what a long journey stopped for 30 minutes,refuel and service etc, disembarked and reboarded at a place called Taipei, i got lost in the airport almost immediately all the signs seemed to be in chinese, anyway luckily i got help and found my way back in time,

arrived in manila airport,collected my luggage and through security, very quiet hardly anyone there,as soon as i got through imigration i was hastled by a guy at the airport door, where you going who you meeting, give me her cel no/ i'll call her, i repeatedly refused, said im meeting my wife and is waiting for me, all i need to know is direction to waiting area, i got through the doors thought i'd shrugged him off so started heading to the waiting area, behold hes at my feet trying to grab my luggage he stuck with me all the way , i'm just almost crossed a road with crossing when 2 hands from behind covered my eyes i knew immediately who it was,
and i laughed,when my eyes were uncovered i saw the most gwapa woman lolita,my first words were WOW 50 times more gwapa than skypeshe was accompanied with 2 more extremly gwapa females, her friend and niece, who escorted us to the car in the parking lot,then on to the hotel apartment, i was not allowed to carry my bags at all,i was waited on hand and foot, spoiled rotten

Enjoyed reading your first day and Manila arrival

I'm really really glad it's worked out so well for the both of you.
You make a great couple.

Best wishes to you both.

Now, get to work on the chapter

[imagine]

part 2, woke up ,,, as you do, after breakfast and shower, we decided to walk abouts and do a little shopping, we hailed a trisikad406105_10200277890899214_600789394_n.jpg
WHAT did you say 8 peso
well did a little walk about observing street beggars squatters and street life, required some shopping in the mall, then another ride back to the hotel,Apartel,

to be honest the heat and humidity was far too much for me to cope with for long, i think i would live indoors during the day
Lolita's friends call later to pick us up for a small tour of manila, ( continued below )

You look a little tired Stewart.

Actually you may as well write off the first week in the Phils due to damned jetlag.

That's why I would encourage anyone to go for at least the max 21 days visa waiver period....gives you chance to turn back from a zombie into a cheerful and healthy-looking human.....speaking for myself anyway.

[imagine]

so off we went on a days touring and bonding heres some photos of the 1st place we visited i forget the name, perhaps some of you will recognise,(il find out the name later if not) theres a monument and the 2 guards here in photo had just been releived standing duty by the monument by 2 others,

[imagine]

Fort Santiago, had a great time here
(links removed now photos on part 2)

[imagine]

Fort Santiago and the Rizal Shrine
(links removed now photos on part 2)

seems i can only add 10 files per post
next post comming soon

[grahamw48]

The links are not working for me Stewart.

Try uploading your pics to photobucket or similar, which is free, then just pasting ('direct') links from there to here.
You can post a whole list of the links (open this site and the other one in separate pages) and the pictures will be bigger too.
