Manila Day 11 We got up at 4am and showered in preparation for our journey to the airport. Checkout was no problem and before long we were on our way. Cassian and Nicole had managed to get up before us and were already on their way to the airport by the time we departed. After…
We ate breakfast, cleaned up the unit and prepared some food to take with us. Andy came to meet us at the accomodation, he organised a taxi and took us out to his place. We dropped the bags, took some photographs and chatted with Christine’s other cousin Lito. We wandered over to the tee shirt…
During the evening I had workout that we had missed out on a shirt for Tina, one of the Spanish teachers for next year. Christine was able to rush through a last minute request for a Tina shirt and a couple of blank ones. The guys at the tee shirt shop said that they should…
We didn’t get up particularly early as we didn’t have a great deal planned for today. We were supposed to go to the Kawasan Falls but had found that the government had closed them down due to some dodgy business practices that had been going on. We finally got up and ate some breakfast which…
We were up nice and early so that we could catch the van to the airport. The route took us close to the Maasan River, we were surprised as this was not the route that the maps had taken us when we went past the airport on the way to Del Carman. We were not…
Board Repairs at Harana and a Surf Session We were up relatively early and made our way over to the surf shop to see if the boards were ready. We arrived just as everyone was leaving to head down for a surf. It turned out that Mike was still there, just in the back working…
Early morning surf session Christine and I got up early and made our way down to the beach break near the Harana Surf Resort. It had been raining on and off all night long. When we arrived at the break there were still a few fun ones around just like yesterday evening. Christine was a…
We got up late and then decided we would hire another motorbike and make the trip up to the rock pools. This plan was last minute and didn’t work out. Ben, our motor bike bloke, was out surfing someplace and nobody knew where, the XRM had been hired by another Aussie and was out for…
Morning Yoga Session We got up reasonably early so that I could fill up the bike and return it to Ben. Afterwards we made our way over to a yoga place that we had seen the day before. Mum, Christine and I were the only participants. Having said that, it was exactly what we needed,…
I went out early to collect the XRM bike, this is a farm type motor bike and as such it had a fair bit more go in it than the scooter. I collected Christine and we rode out to the wet markets to drop the clothes and books to Angelo so that he could take…
