Hi Guys
Seems the Peninsula has just been downgraded from 6 star to 1 star. Its closed completely right now.
Well, blimey Charlie, we landed in Manila on Thursday morning, and it seems we arrived just in time for all this nonsense. We stayed at the Citadel Inn, but we watched everything on ANC in sheer disbelief. Elsa was actually walking down Makati Ave to get to HSBC when she heard all the gunshots - scary.
Seems the Army used gentle tactics to get these idiots out of the hotel - a tank thru' the front door and tear gas in the lobby.
We've now escaped to the calm and quiet here in Tacloban. Hooray!
