Sorry still no pictures....internet brutally slow.  Well, what to say about Manila, we spent one night and booked a flight the next day to Borocay.  Manila reminded me a lot of Bangkok, but less travellers and not as much to see.  We did get annihilated on the first night and felt the pain just in time for our flight.  Beer is good and super cheap, So far the beers of choice are San Miguel and Negro.   unfortunately we haven't even sampled the local cuisine yet.  We are the worst travellers....all we ate was pizza and burgers....its just what was readily available when we were hungry.

We carried over three full hockey bags full of our outdated fire department uniforms to donate over here.  We found a fire station in Manilla right after we landed.  Our driver took us there and they were so thankful and appreciative.  They said they spoke to the fire chief and he wanted to meet us, but was unable to come.  Not many of the firefighters had uniforms, the seargent wore a fed-ex t-shirt.  Anyway, it was nice to get that out of the way, those bags were pretty cumbersome to travel with.

Anyway Off to Borocay


Cheers
