A day of truly nightmare public transport!!

This morning we left San Juan very early for us and took a walk up to the main highway. From there we took a jeepney to San Fernando where there was a huge parade going on through the town. Therefore, it took quite a while to navigate our way through the town and find an ATM and...

A chill out day

As we arrived pretty late in San Juan yesterday afternoon, Chris just wanted a chill day relaxing on the beach, watching the surfers. So we took a break and did very little except taking a short walk along the beach.

San Juan

Having felt we had made the most out of our short trip to Vigan we left early this morning after breakfast and travelled to San Juan. This is predominately aimed towards surfers, which obviously we are not, as the sea is pretty rough but that didn't stop it from being a...

Poorly Chris and stupid, stupid virus makers

Chris was up all night feeling really poorly, so although our plan was to leave today we decided it would be best to post-pone until he was well enough to travel. It turns out that it was the right decision as we turned the laptop on a little later to discover that a virus had...

Back on the beach...

After an exhausting night sleeping on a cold wooden floor we were delighted to be picked up and taken back to our comfy hotel after hearing that it was perfectly safe to do so. So after a power nap we headed to the beach where Chris went swimming for a while and we found a...

Manila

We arrived in Manila a day early and were given a big welcome by local entertainers at the pier. Manila is just a big city. People are very friendly and smile a lot even though they are very poor. They really like Americans especially since we liberated them from the Japanese at...
