We arrived safely and the next morning we showed up at the port at 4:30am for our 5am boat to malaysia later to find out it leaves at 5pm.

Manila is the largest city in the Philippines and one of the largest in the world. Metro Manila ha more than 10 million people. <br><br>We left Lezo by tricycle, one for Allan and I and some of the luggage, and one for the family and the rest of the luggage. About 1/3 of the way to the airport, Allan suddenly couldn't remember if he packed his passport. And the bag it should be in was in the other tricycle. We told our driver we had ...

... and collapsed that the Agustinians decided to build the third one using stone. Apparently they were a bit thick. Their unhurried decision reminds me a bit of that Monty Python skit from the &#8216;Holy Grail&#8217; where the weedy prince Herbert is being chastised by his macho king and father:<br><br>&#8216;Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was were swamp. <br><br>Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp ...
