Today is my last day with Julie and her Dad so we were up early to send Julie off to work before I started to pack my things. The plan is to have an early lunch with the family and then say goodbye. Julie's Dad took me down to airport at 10:30am and I checked in to my flight and then made my way back to Julie's where we waited for her to arrive so we could have an early lunch. Lunch was a feast as usual with BBQ pork, Jack fruit stirfry and various other vegetable dishes. Julie arrive at 12:10pm just as I was supposed to be leaving and ate her lunch making my time to departure less and less to be honest I panicked and after arriving and saying goodbye at the airport - I was the last to board and they were waiting for me. Time to say goodbye to Legazpi and head back to where it all started in Manila. When we were just about to arrive in Manila we struck some heavy turbulence and as we came down to land the plane jotted, jumped and bounced off the runway quite hairy and what made it worse was the panicked looks on people's faces inboard the plane. Now to get to Pasay City Bus station, one bus then another and then to the station. The whole thing turned out to be a nightmare Manila really is quite an unpleasant place and nothing is easy - it took me 2 hours to find a bus which wasn't the right bus but was headed in the right direction. The bus trip was long and unfortunately the girl sitting next to me had terrible breath that almost made me throw up every time she breathed. I then had to catch a jeepney and then another before arriving at Nepo Mall where I would meet my host. I waited a little while for her to rock up and after about 45 minutes she arrived. Rachel was her name and she is a young Mother who has so kindly given me a place to stay for the night. We went and met one of Rachel's friends and then had dinner. I am really over fried food so I settled for a few corns on the cob and some tuna. We talked a lot and by about 11pm headed back to Rachel's, I was having a really good talk with Rachel but was so tired that I ended up falling a sleep just after midnight.
