Then we arrived back in Manila and drove to Richmond Hotel again. We were on the same floor and the first bedroom we stayed when we first arrived in the Philippines. Dad liked that room the best. We went to the Korean restaurant again and had the same thing. Then we went home I was very tired and sunburned.

... lush shrubs, vines and flowering plants come into view. The clean and green ambience on the way to the falls never fails to dazzle me, lulling me into a hypnotic trance. The faint rush of water gushing from the falls, however, rouses me from my brief reverie, beckoning me to follow the trail to the cascade.

On the bus-trip, the views out the window varied from rice terraces, to tropical forests, banana plantations and the odd one-horse town. A word of warning, there are no toilets on the busses, and ...

Monday was a travel day. We woke at 4:30 when our alarms went off, showered quickly and wrestled closed our suitcases. We checked out at 5:15, the airport shuttle was at the hotel promptly at 5:30. After picking up a few more passengers at other hotels we drove out passed the awakening port of Hong Kong to Lantau Island where the airport is located. After checking in for the Cathay Pacific flight to Manila we cleared immigration and had a small bit of breakfast ...

By noon, we packed up and began our descent to Lake Venado where we would encamp for the night. The trail to the lake was deceptive; it appeared easy as pie at the outset. Further down the line, however, it was fraught with obstacles. Largecakes of mud clung like adhesive all over my rubber shoes as I made my downward course.
