It's a very inexpensive way to have some fun and see some of the country-side that you normally wouldn't be able to see. Also, the horses tend to be small so if you're not an experienced rider, there's nothing to be scared about. justimagine

I went by bus and ferry from Manila to Davao City Mindanao then returned by a passanger ship plus cargo. Intersting. I may have been the only westerner on board. I'm glad we didn't need the life boats. Not sure there were enough or safe. But Filipinos certainly very friendly. Along the way ran into an American Peace Corps Volunteer in a small village. He was hospitable and informative. Art radsolv -------------------- radsolv Travel Logs

If you're coming from Manila, Tagaytay - a city that's about an hour south has a terrific cool weather, horses, picnic groves, zoos and a lot of golf and country clubs. It also has a fantastic view of the Taal volcano and it's very accessible too! -------------------- Tasha "Let the world change you... and you can change the world" - Motorcycle diaries

Generally most tourist areas are safe, like if in the Metro Manila, Makati, Bay Area of Manila, Taguig and Ortigas Center. Of course I don't recommend wandering off to strange places, otherwise, a tourist can walk safely around. There are taxis available 24/7 as well. For night life hubs, there are roving security also. -------------------- Tasha "Let the world change you... and you can change the world" - Motorcycle diaries

Especially in the Visayas region. -------------------- Travel with Campervan hire Cairns
