Short introduction:

I last flew out to visit my sweetheart on May 5th, from Manchester. (Emirates).

The flight arrived at Manila late in the evening, quickly through immigration etc, then grabbed a taxi to Sogo Hotel, Pasay....just somewhere to get my head down, fairly near to my lady's home, and not too dear.

We met up the next day and decided to shoot off up to Mercedes' province (Pangasinan).

Caught the night bus (5 star or Victory Liner...can't remember now ).

Pulled into Dagupan bus station, early morning and took a trike round to the cheapo, but nice hotel we stayed at last time. (p850 a night...+ free wi-fi in very nice room).

Just down the road...Shakeys Pizza.

One of Mercedes' nieces joined us:



One thing I did do this trip, was to remember to take my little radio/CD player. Very nice to have your own music, or listen to the radio without headphones. Next time, I'll take my BIG one.
