Hello All! we have arrived in the Philipenes, "Thriller in Manila" it certainly is.

we arrived at the "stoned" hotel to a lady who seemed to be sniffing a bag of sick up her nose and a laminated home made sign suggesting that bringing fire arms into the premises would not be a great idea.all in all i would say the overwhelming feeling at this point was "welcoming." even more welcoming as we turned to see a man snarling at Mike while stroking a shot gun big enough to put a whole through an elephant. (we were warn us they didnt like Mike's type)

all joking aside, the place looks crazy with lots and lots to do. we are planning a 7 or 8 day trip around some of the 108 islands trying to incorporate eveyones wishes. so diving, snorkeling, FRISBEE, sun bathing, volcanoe exploring, hill trekking, mountain bike rifind and watching s*** cable T.V is what we will be doing for the next week.

drinks cost 3 pence, a meal costs 6.5 pence. they will drive the tourism out of this country if they continue to be so bloody greedy.

anyway......... well done

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
