No luck with uploading the pic, anyway I'm staying here in Tacloban for another 5 days as it is so good. Met a group of filipinos last night, ended up at their home for a family birthday, so many people and all really very friendly.
The only hassle is that there are no taxis in tacloban and those tricycle rides are a bit bumpy :o

Yeah thats the odd thing about Tacloban - no proper "Car" taxis, only tricycles....why is that?!! There's no problem with transport to or from the airport - usually a hotel can book a van or they may even have their own - as in Alejandro's.Originally posted by gm47@Aug 11 2005, 03:02 AM

So Gerry where have you been to so far in or around Tacloban?
not many places really, went to the bridge ( largest in Leyte or the phils I think) also been to the macarthur landing but thats about it, I'm just having such a good time in the layte park and tacloban city, met lots of people and have been invited to homes for meals etc, just been on a boat ride with all the hotel staff, it's the hotel managers birthday and he took them on the boat for a meal and karaoke, really good day out. I really like it here, will probably stay here for most of the week that I have left. And of course there are some very beautiful and friendly ladies too which helps !!Originally posted by walesrob@Aug 11 2005, 08:43 AM

That'll be the San Juanico bridge. Before we married, myself and Elsa's family had a picnic UNDER the bridge :( Its a popular spot with locals apparently....to me it was the same as taking lunch under the Severn Bridge in Bristol Channel...lots of mud, flies and funny smells..Originally posted by gm47@Aug 13 2005, 01:41 PM

You'll notice as well that Tacloban is Imelda Marcos heartland, so people will tell you how great she is/was and she's done no wrong and how she's done a lot for the Philippines....I heard this so much everytime I go there, and I wonder if they are talking about the same Imelda Marcos that plundered the country for millions...a bit like saying Maggie Thatch was a saint :o ...Politics is a funny thing
yes that's about right, there's even a placque at the layte as she was there to celebrate the opening. Had to leave tacloban today to return to manila which was disappointing but this is my last 2 days in the phils :( would you believe it a girl that I was seeing in tacloban has followed me to Manila !!! She asked if I would bring her with me, I couldn't and didn't want to, then last night she texts to say that she has a ticket to manila and yes she is here !!!!Originally posted by walesrob@Aug 14 2005, 01:30 PM
