So much for an early night... Had dinner at People's Palace, a fantastic Thai restaurant where I ate way too much. Then went for pudding to Myron's Place, a restaurant owned by Mon Eugenio, a friend from university. Because we knew Mon, he gave us a tour of the kitchen, which looked nice and sparkling. We had a lovely chocolate fondue and we had to stop ourselves from drinking the leftover chocolate. After that, we then headed off to Tabu, which I can only describe as a bar with very loud music. (They played a disco version of Leona's Bleeding Love - can't believe she's reached Manila!)
Spent most of the morning today deciding on what we were going to do with our extra time in the Philippines. Have decided to visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan, southwest of the Philippines. There we can visit the Subterranean River in Sabang, the longest navigable river-traversed tunnel in the world - perfect for the upcoming river project. There's also a crocodile farm, a butterfly farm and a penal colony (!) to visit.
The children are all staying for a sleepover at their cousin Sevi's house. The flat seems so quiet without them...
Tomorrow we pick them up and leave for Tali Beach, where we'll be staying till Monday. I look forward to finally showing Alasdair the beach lot that we bought and which I picked, without him, last October. Fingers crossed he'll like it!
Am slowly (ever so slowly) uploading photographs into the blog. So please look back in case you haven't seen them yet!
