Our last stop in the philippines was Manila again, this time we stayed for 2 nights and again had a wicked time. We arrived from Bohol early afternoon and had a little siesta! After this we visited the Intramuros, which is basically an old Spanish city that is surrounded by a huge wall with lots of tourist stuff inside, like a cathedral and look out posts etc. Was raining when we got there so treated ourselves to a horse and cart ride around the city. First night we went out for a few drinks with 4 other people from the hostel, but it wasn't that good and we ended up in a sleezy bar full of old white men trying to pick up the young filipino girls, so we promptly left!. Next day we tried to go and see the Taal Lake and Volcano, but due to lie ins we kind of b*****ed it up. Left too late on the bus and by the time we got there the cloud was so thick that we could only just see the volcano from the viewing platform. Anyway we had a lovely Macdonalds before venturing back on the 2 hour bus journey. So I suppose it was worth it!!! When we got back we headed to Absinth Bar in Makati (which is supposed to be the posh area) to meet up with Dennis who I met when I was diving in Malapascua Island. He's from Manila and promised to take us out for a good night on our last night. We had an excellent night, even though we stayed in Absinth all night, but we got chatting to so many people and even had the poi out for a while. Got in quite late but didn't have to get up until 11am, so not too bad.
Landed in Singapore on the 24th. Have been to Sentosa Island and the Zoo, and we are having a lie in tomorrow and then maybe going to Orchard road for a spot of shopping (I need a new phone) and also the mandatory Singapore Sling at the Raffles!!! Flying to Oz on the 28th, so only one day left in Asia!! :-( Think thats it for now, take care all x x x x
