thanks for that, that's made me feel a lot better !!! :unsure:

Rob if you don't mind spending a bit, I can definetly reccomend staying in the layte park but you really should try and get pool villa 2, it's the best room/villa in tacloban. I hope you have a great time when you get there, I'm sure you already know, but if not, the best restaurents are Guiseppes for italian food and 4/5 doors away is Stephanies which is great for filipino food, both are opposite the Divine hospital. The only downside is that there is no internet in the rooms which meant that I couldn't get access to betfair in the evenings which would've paid for my trip but it meant that I had more time to relax and enjoy myself. I may go back to Tacloban at Xmas as it was that good for me.

One more question, I was there and met a young english guy that was meeting a girl that he had been writing to, I just met somewhere there, both girls had chaperones which is ok by me and him but later on we were chatting and both had the same thing happen to us, when alone both girls insisted on not using condoms !!! Both didn't seem to mind about getting pregnant even though I was very clear that I didn't want marriage or kids yet, crazy !! Or do you think that they thought we would change our minds if it actually did happen. Ever experienced that ??
Gerry, just out of interest how much did it cost to stay at Leyte Park? I think Elsa and I may just stay there...last time we went they were booked out, so I'm gonna start looking ready for later this year.

I dunno about the girl, but I think she's fallen for you big time. Condoms are a taboo subject in Philippines...maybe its the Catholic guilt thing?

Anyway have a safe trip home to sunny and warm UK :lol: Its always depressing coming home I know....
