... airlines was delayed so we had to leave at 2pm. <br><br>While we were waiting, I, Michelle and Dad looked at shops around the airport we bought juice and durian jam bread and sugar durian in bread. I didn&#8217;t like it very much. Then we went onto the aeroplane. It smelt like durian because somebody bought durian and put it in his luggage. It was very smelly. We all ...

... to Samal through various routes but the most accessible one involves crossing it from Davao City either at the old port in Sta. Ana or the wharf at Sasa where ferry boats take passengers there. There are also a number of ro-ro vessels that can accommodate people, buses and cars going to and from Samal. Getting around the island doesn't pose any problem as several jeepneys and motorbikes called habal-habal can be hired to get anyone to his ...

... were able to issue us with boarding passes for both flights, which turned out to be very comfortable as we had Row 11, one of two rows where there is a lot of leg room. It was a bit of a shock to see that the airport tax was now P550, rather than the P200 we had paid coming in, as this is an international flight, as opposed to the domestic flight from Cebu to Davao.

It is no longer by any means the most luxurious hotel in Manila but it is the most historic, and in a particular way the most classy. As this is low season, the hotel was offering a special price which made it only about as expensive as a Holiday Inn in the Cincinnati area. Still ...

... became steeper, the air turned colder and the fogs grew thicker, making the climb more difficult. Without a pack, I trekked faster. Left to my own devices, I hiked through large puddles of mud, jumped over fallen logs, crawled underground, trudged into dense shrubbery and walked over planks. Passing by a stream, I rested and filled my empty container with water. It was a uniquely humbling experience as I drank from that source, unmindful of its safety. Hours ...

This morning we visited the homes of several Church members around Davao City. Becuase this is a poor area, people have to be creative and industrious to make ends meet. One member helps subsidize her family income by making and selling peanut butter and another member helps to support her family by making beautiful cards from handcrafted paper.
