Manila, Cebu/5 tours (4)-antique Spain King City

December 26, Tuesday sunny

9: 00 am we sat on a package of taxi, go shopping in Spain's city.

Spain is the capital city of Spain in 1571 to rule in the Philippines, the Castle area is only 1 km, also known as the city in the city.

According to online travels in a friend's suggestion, we sat on a quite distinctive castle in cart (1000 pesos), coach in addition to the Carter, also comes with a local tour guide.

Although the price is not cheap, but I still felt very worth it, because it is this time our tour of the capital city of Spain, has added a lot of taste, not only embodies characteristics, but also save time; in particular, supporting the local guides, very humorous, talkative, not only the attractions are very detailed, but along the way also enthusiasm, initiative and gives us a lot of beautiful photos photo. Talk about happy he imitated singers "Elvis Presley" sing us a lot of beautiful songs.

Tourist Guide-first led us to Spain's city wall walking, sightseeing, YuanWang famous Manila hotel, a green grass golf course.

Then led us to see a lot of ruins, a few old cannons and door or two small paolou.

Morning 10: 00 carriages first stopped at the door of the castle of San Diego (tickets 40 pesos per person).

Santiago Castle gates of stone was exquisite, beautiful. Its walls, is a volcanic stone, soiled duck egg white, masonry. Especially noticeable is that the moat in pool water lilies bloom in red, as the ancient castle. Philippine national hero Rizal, was imprisoned in the Castle and the Castle Dungeon to die. Now, the Castle houses Rizal Memorial, lawn also stands the statue of systemic Rizal, bronze statue, visitors always keep all parties. 10: 20 we return the cart.

Next, the cart will we sent to the capital city of Manila Cathedral door, now the time is 10: 40.

Manila Cathedral, daily locals where the wedding ceremony, today we happen to have been met. The Church has many very fine statue of the Virgin of every color. Church of the heavy wooden door, the carvings are fine, but also very rich in features. 11: 06 we left the Church.

11: 23 we came to the capital city of St. Augustine Catholic Church inside (ticket 80 pesos per person).

The Church is the world's cultural heritage, is the oldest rocks in the Philippines made Church (1599-year reconstruction). Its unique structure, the Bell Tower, the Palace and most after the walls are built with sturdy coral reefs. Especially valuable is that it had after five earthquake and the two world wars, but miraculously always survive! thus become universally recognized as a model of early earthquake building is unique in the world!

Because of this church is the world's cultural heritage, so we put the Church inside and looked more carefully, and try to take some photos.

Precisely because we are here to stay longer, it finally has the chance to see the locals in this church mass and celebrated jubilant scenes and lucky enough to hear a choir singing hymns. The song's rhythm and harmony, really very beautiful, very touching, but for the companion rush me, I'm not willing to leave.

"Arrows barbed heart", is a symbol of the Church.

I found that even the Church wall paintings, should also have arrows barbed heart "to" picture, I immediately took the painting. It is said that this church is in the heart of the characteristic huge chandeliers and southern peculiar bright sunshine, long time exposure in stained glass, produce beautiful results. I'll be able to reflect the characteristics of the scene, have a one shot down.

Somewhere in the Church, I also found that stood there, overlooking the beautiful old church in the garden.

This garden is good, except for the exotic flora, there are rows of fountains, benches and street lamps with various color statue interspersed in the meantime, the very personality and characteristics. I am a gas from different angles to take multiple photos.

Until 12: 07 we had to leave St. Augustine Catholic Church, because early has to plan the use of time for lunch.

We have sat on the horse-drawn carriage, the carriage return departure station.

Before departure, to thank the tourist guide dedicated to services, we pay him a tip 100P, he is very happy to thank us.

From this general guide, I from one side, feel the enthusiasm of the people of the Philippines, cheerful, friendly, simple way to make my unforgettable!

2 large and a small one, 19/02/2009 9: 20am fly from Shanghai, Shenzhen, due to take off relatively late, arrived in Shenzhen has more than 12-point, catch the bus corridor: 30 shifts of 12 (Shenzhen bus half hour), the ticket price of $ 90, but we are a travel agency by Taobao (free travel), $ 75, but also through their reservation for the hotel, the price is cheaper than directly to the hotel, a two-day stay in Hong Kong, namely playing Ocean Park and Walt Disney, is through their booking tickets, hotels and tickets and tickets for a total of $ 420.

Get off at the point of the Jordan, and our hotel is only one Metro Station Road, but with a big box, we're playing, met a man, can't understand Mandarin, opened the road to 2 minutes, to us $ 18, and a lot of money don't accept, because there is no change, no $ change, he received US 20 Yuan also does not change his argument he not know, can only be bad luck.

In Hong Kong Street renminbi places a lot, but we are told when redemption must be RMB 1000 Yuan.

Their taxi prices starting prices have now to $ 18, jump up, also particularly fast, unless you have deep pockets, impersonal, as far as possible, or by subway, Metro extending in all directions, have quickly. Overall impression: very clean, particularly crowded, the efficiency is very high. Particularly crowded feeling a deep, many skyscrapers, are in close proximity to each other, so that the person is very sympathetic to people who live in it. Walking in the street, really feel what is the "old", uncomfortable, although many people also Shanghai, room a lot, but the density or make me surprised. Feeling people really have put all the parts can be opened using up. Most of the hotel Torre, despite prior informed the hotel are very small, have a certain psychological preparation, but when we pushed open the door and into the room, or envied. The door in, bed in front of blocked, into the bathroom, it is unbearable: a wash-basin, is the size of the kindergarten children to use the bathroom, you can feel comfortable to use, because you can never fall, 1 big 1 station, there is no way to turn, so careless feet sliding is not any longer. Of course, the we live is a budget hotel, maybe the difference. But oddly enough the next day as the Internet problem, hotel help us put an Internet room, go find the toilet and bathroom are much more than 1, it is not the same grades, doubt is beginning to us is the worst of the room and not the "standard rooms".

20/02/2009-21/02/2009

Hong Kong Disney has a bad reputation, and we do not have great expectations, as long as the child had been happy, found no legends so bad, though not as good as Tokyo Disney area, but if you take the kids to play with is enough, then big day playing incomplete, so exactly, although made preparations, we head off to some of the projects, because with the children, and we all love to watch it carefully, the comparison of the ponds, so think one day to play through it is quite short.

My surprise was the evening of fireworks, feel surprisingly good. Plus the many spectacular performances, personal view is that Disney is an exceptional value, light at these performances is worth the price. As many people do not think it would be fun, I guess because on adults, Disney inside play project too Pediatrics, only suitable for small children, the majority of less stimulation, seem naive. Therefore, the marine park is more suitable for adults to play that many project quite exciting, but we took the kids, you're essentially playing, and marine park is overhaul, do not think that is fun, the worst part is Aquarium show, probably too much, Tokyo, Qingdao, Dalian, Xiamen, Shanghai itself has two, in short, this is the worst, I nearly fell asleep in the past. But Hong Kong Ocean Park has two good is he in the mountains, but have the escalator up, do not have their own climbing, there is a tram can take the tram, which is what I have seen the most luxurious, so that is good. Adults go or are an exceptional value, but if you take our kids to play on almost anything, a little value.

22/02/2009

Days off we rose up and catch a plane, so this is in Hong Kong is empty, no shopping.

Probably many of my friends will feel bad, good shopping in our family's been on have not any special hobbies, or, originally, passing through Hong Kong's transit, no additional handling what EEP, so think nothing. However the CTF shop a lot, sasa is our road wanderaround saw several. Interested friends can watch.

Hotel out of minutes there is direct access to the airport bus, 33 yuan/person, 1 hour, our convenient here also have reflected, airport bus is overnight has and every 10 minutes.

Arrival at the airport quickly completed all the formalities pity to Cebu flights take off late half an hour, so over there late, I almost miss the 16: 30 in Cebu to Mint's ferry. In accordance with the predecessors, do not call directly in a outlet, followed by the local people, it really is true that quoted the exit of the driver, we note the 250p and found a lot of people towards the opposite side of the ladder, looks after the discovery of the locals, is by meter, so it looks like, but when a driver or dishonest, actually open a later we found out that he did not play table and asked him how much say 150p, from Cebu airport to Pier4 only ten minutes, or expensive, but I think it is better than black drivers good point. To instantly have a Pier4, enthusiastic people to help us hauling, help the formalities, etc, then give him 20p also too few 40p, however, because of our time is up, with his help was able to speed up a little speed, so they do not talk to him about it. Finally arrived in 18: 00 BoHol, very lucky in the ship hit two Chinese counterparts, saving a lot of behind the cost of travel, and get a good time.

Alona Beach buggy to, I read online that are 400-500p, but the drivers offer 600p, and offer a half-day won't less likely and later on, he also said that his car was how well, think again on day immediately black, they go together.

About half an hour to go before the AlonaBeach, a friends place cherry ' s home, 1200p/day, when you look away from the sea far away, we discuss a half-day, or to find a new place, the driver drove us to the Bohol Divers Resort, said here House cost-effective, but we ask that only 2800/3500p one night's room and went to his later a hotel, offers life and Campo price to 1500p 1200/p, I can't remember the name, it is a family hotel that looks like an uncompleted, the room facilities to better, have air conditioning and hot water, but the decoration tastes is large, so the next day or a busy struggling to find a new hotel.

23/02/2009

Breakfast, we began looking for that first to Bohol Divers Resort, say only one room, original price 3000 2500, now with a half-day, how are not cheap, we also continue to seek, in Korea the White House and the people of Sweden's ISIS are seen, but no room, finally made it to the Bohol Divers Resort villa room, because the room is large enough, the bed was very big, my heart is sea view room, standing on the balcony you can see the sea and the swimming pool, the price is good.

Then immediately move, after lunch, made a massage, offer 300p, coupled with his hands and feet beauty total 400p. In bohol on the first day at leisure in sent. Find a boat out to sea, quote, because I assure 1800p massage old too about it, said the boat 4-5 people in 1500, 7-8 persons 1800, big ship, more than 20 people 3000p if we were in the boat, the price was OK, no longer Kham price.

24/02/2009

5: 30 in the morning, offshore wind and weather and sunshine, so when Yin or some cold, but fortunately I see Raiders to sun belt for towel, then full use, but still wear too little, afraid of the cold man to wear points and then out to sea.

1 hour Balicasag Island, but haven't seen dolphins, then many vessels in the distance, speculation should be set to see dolphins, rush in the past as many, jump in the water, the poor they received so many onlookers, the vessel soon escaped. Many users say Balicasag Island snorkeling on Board will be changing the boat solely so that they, in fact, there is a long beach is very simple, and they offer 150/person, General water reasonably good doesn't need a boat. But we took the child, or a boat, price 100/person, child 50/person. Because tanned in Hainan, even though the weather was cloudy, UV or very strong, I do plenty of sunscreen, swimsuit try to cover the area to large, coloured high sunscreen and olive oil, as long as you leave the water covered bath towels, walk on the beach must include, for the children in these basis also wear long-sleeved white shirt, so I and the children which have no obvious tanning, safe and sound. Comparison to the effect that her husband to his sunscreen and olive oil coating was not serious, the result is sunburn, Crimson, pain.

There is only one hotel on the island, in a unique resort, we just found a great gears, took some went to the Virgin Islands, and later repented not, as in diving Balidasag to inquire the boatman, said 2700p can diving two times, and each half hour or so, than the Alona Beach offer much cheaper, but then did not go directly to the Virgin Islands.

Virgin Island is a small desert island, unusual in that there is a 200-metre curve-shaped Beach, it is said that every morning will Mey, afternoon can be felt to walk, the scenery is beautiful, saw some people where grilled fish, there are a couple of fishermen with their grandchildren to catch of sea urchin attire in a bottle, large bottles of 100, small bottle 50p, small bottle inside a minimum also has more than 20 Sea Urchin, its price of Lim made us to marvel at, so I bought a small bottle, unfortunately this stuff could not save, you have to eat that day, otherwise we would buy more back. However buy back found not accustomed to eating flavor that gave the hotel waiter, the little girl was a ran three feet high, said: this is a good thing.

The schedule for tomorrow is Mint Island Tour, private 2000p.

Should not cheap, I hear that for as long as 1500, it all down, think tourists are always to be slaughtered, just how much of a problem. But the day had a tired, too lazy to find a lot of people ask price.

25/02/2009

Today in their hotels breakfast, the breakfast is found here and here to eat the best, it is recommended that you later in Bohol Divers Resort restaurant breakfast inside.

Half past nine in the morning, go to the chocolate hills, tickets 50p, is along the stone steps climb up five minutes, and then taking photographs of it, looks strange, like wowotou compared, there were no scenery to be seen. And then went to several other attractions, it is worth mentioning, are a few minutes to figure it out. It is worth mentioning or Loboc River, we got there only to find actually managing the project, there are several, if interested, you can look at a different pitch, they put their own buffet pictures are very large, the price should have different, because the original did not know that there are several, followed by the driver,Quote 300P/person, here certainly have Maoni, because we saw the driver subsequently a pig on the boat, it is estimated that every driver has a relationship with cooked shops. However this price then feel that it is not too kill people, after all, you want to include a buffet and a boat tour, by contrast, the beach hotel can be considered a profiteering in profits.

The look of the place is really monkey eyes so we plunge glasses a, turned out to be a shabby little shop, and a few small tree, not to a total of ten days their eyes monkey is sleeping, so almost motionless looks sluggish, but still quite lovely.

26/02/2009

Going to Cebu this afternoon, a day in the morning in the hotel's swimming pool and the sea inside, 14: 30 in the shipping back five, go straight to the booking of hotel Holiday Plaza, ask the hotel to the free map, to a local mall Ayala Center to eat, how to find a circle is a fast food restaurant, the only class that has a local famous chain restaurant Jollibee, is actually a KFC and McDonald's fast food, the taste was bad.

Originally wanted to go to Karl this market at night, and later many inquiries found that place is not safe at night, there are a lot of the theft Act, would not dare to go.

27/02/2009

Morning in the hotel with buffet, directly to the airport, as needed, so in Manila to Manila, we'll ask the bus to go the driver touching Intramorus, is not a good man, his flesh, like mafia, because from the airport by so much debt we 20p, we know that there must be fraudulent, because the front also in Manila to fight this thing, but with no change, he would not change, only defect the 10p.

Intramorus tickets 75p, is also very small, one hour to play. And then we are ready to go to the nearby SM of eating and shopping, as the Manila local had a strange human four-wheel, we deliberately took slightly more expensive than Taxi also price took a rickshaw. There is also and the SM Cebu, not a decent restaurant, full of fast food restaurants, so class yourselves to the point, no time shopping go straight to the airport.

This journey is a little tips to share with you:

1, Hong Kong Hotel and tickets can be booked directly online, than directly to go cheap.

2, Philippines airport departure tax to 750p/person, really black.

Domestic departure transfer to airport fee200p. And by boat and by plane, you have a lot of checks and terminal fee. Enter the large SM too should have a check, in short, their order is not very good, so check.

3. you can want diving in to find diving point Balicasag, cheap.

2010 "Philippine" often slow holidays

Philippines back.

This is a "good" Philippines often corrupt, but also a classic tour of the poor.

Out on vacation, we must first learn to slow.

In Alona beach seaside beach selected seat points good food, not an hour you are eating. Back channels, watch our quick hands and feet. Such a comparison, like also will understand why people so rich, Filipinos so poor. After all the time back half a century, the economic level and not much difference.

But where the Sun six days of Sun, I finally understand and get used to the slow life.

Money is not spent their time not slowly taste, nor is it your own. We come out for a holiday, give yourself a life slowly. Many people find that out is to enjoy the luxury of material, I feel the most extravagant to the enjoyment of is time. Life would be calmly. But we in the city was forced to busy, working, learning, living, family, colleagues, for leadership. How much time left to your own?, Philippines is poor, but their happiness is not necessarily lost to Hong Kong. This is my experience. Of course for them may not be true. Learn how to slow down, relax, you'll have time to taste the many ignore happy.

Second, don't be afraid of getting in.

The efficiency of modern social order, select a specialization. But our lives because of such division of labour, and lost a lot of fun. Work on the water, you will not be on the final products have a sense of belonging. Similarly, if you talk to corporate outing, or feel that what you smell what you see is the result of your efforts, you will not be pleased. Yes, self-tour well bore. Because not all the tour arrangements, you must be very early for the plane tickets, accommodation, excursion line and so on. However, this is not a part of the tourist? if you are willing to take life, this is not about Division of things will be pro-bow, is a good start of the holiday. Slowly plan your journey, just like taking care of a baby, do not pay one sleepless nights, you will not be to its little growth and overwhelmed.

Many people still worry about not English cannot go abroad.

This is a great misunderstanding. It is not willing to slowly learning. I have a foreigner friends, one in the text are not, they come to China to play for a period of one month to go to a lot I have ever been. After returning to Germany, she said that she is not used to talking. Because she is too used to using finger point approach and communicate.

A good destination choice determines the success or failure of a vacation more than half.

This determines the seaside holiday, because this is a relaxing place to revitalise. Many people say that the sea was dreamed of Maldives. In fact, most of the world is so big, that is the sea, it is not possible a Maldives is worth appreciation. Anything you want the best, in fact, you're nothing. The Jade Emperor Hill might as well the Huangshan famous and beautiful, but I am not able to go to Huangshan working day after day, no time to the Jade Emperor hill climbing gym. Maldives is one of the world's poor and carrot, if you keep insisting until this ideal, then you will miss world 99.99% beautiful sea.

So, I chose the civilians Alona Beach-beach.

Here meet my two grand corruption:

The first is in play, the sea is crystal bottle, I need a closeness to the sea.

The sea to beautiful, you can do desktop picture; the sea but also calm, the westernmost of the mainland Portugal is very beautiful, but the overwhelming, the readability and disrespectfully; calm sea which also need bio, colorful tropical fish which swim at your feet, built around you and view you as we enjoy the Zoo there Lion bears wild. Alona beach is very special. At first we didn't know, according to the Raiders, by sea to sea to go snorkeling. Then a boatman on the pigeons, we just took one day by the sea. Discover here the sea is particularly suitable for our rookie level snorkeling enthusiasts. Here the Beach offers smooth, out of about ten years, there is water. Slowly with coral. There is a coral reef fish must have. All in depth but shoulders. See if you can swim out of the 100 meters, and small fish with Maxthon, very proud of; while stepping on the seabed, the heart does not really fear. :-)

The second is to eat the seafood.

Faces the sea and not eat out "sea-and delicious", is a feast of life to regret. Last to Pipi Island, although the sea meets my requirements, but only one dinner dundun fried's "seafood in basket". Let's really is "closed"! afterwards summary: can't go too "upscale" resort. Why? world so-called upscale resorts are in accordance with European standard of beauty. White like taste is not very developed, to the seaside also eat steak burger. As you can eat Chinese people, and their blends together, really is the fortune of bad, no idea. Alona beach does not have this problem, take in the sunset afterglow walk, beach bar restaurant will swing out there to make you hungry for a parade of bigger than his mouth. And the price is fair, component. Generally similar to red star spot of big fish in 60-70 Yuan per Jin. Giant Shrimp, 120 RMB a pound, this price is the equivalent of Hangzhou, close to the River aquatic product market. But according to my observation, their component than aquatic market to foot lots.

In this beach dinner, looked up and fizzes, ears, eyes and endless waves of light dots.

Life's better, much better than this?

In addition to a good destination, you will also need to have a good trip.

Each resort is the first in your plan. Basically you go to get, is a regular line. However, how can you differentiate? need your own design for your own combinations, tailor-made solutions. This combination is embodied is your creativity. I like the contrast of the mix, like cooking and dressing. For example, the last to Thailand, my rideWith a three-day Bangkok city tour to enjoy the Grand Palace, humane and monuments; coupled with Phuket's six-day tour of corruption by the sea. This trip to the Philippines, I also do the same. 6 days stay fat guys Island lazy sun beating down on, plus the three days in HK makes a modern city sightseeing. This combination allows you to experience the feelings generated strong contrast, making your trip of each segment will not allow you to "Visual fatigue." The six-day stay at fat guys island of time I will match. For example, in the seaside snorkeling, sailing and see dolphins; then goes through a mountain tour; and then continue on the sands of time "kill" the last two days, then go to Cebu City shopping.

Such a combination, makes my ticket request high, it is best to let my random combination of low cost airlines, because they tend to be one-way price.

The following is the circular line: Philippines

First leg: select Cebu air, flying from Shanghai, turn to TAG in Manila.

Many people choose to fly to Cebu, then by boat to Mint island. In fact, no such trouble, mint Island Airport called TAG, there are flights to Manila. Can you save time and money.

Second stage: after the end of the holiday, island by boat to Cebu island of Mint.

One-way ticket 500P, two hours.

Third stage: from Cebu to fly to Hong Kong.

So no need to Hong Kong passport you can go to Hong Kong to play.

Fourth stage: from Hong Kong to Shenzhen.

And then fly back to Hangzhou, Shenzhen. Do not fly directly from Hong Kong, is because the road Hangzhou, one-way ticket. Hong Kong back in Hangzhou will be very expensive. Domestic segment does not have this problem.

Solved ticket itinerary, the following is live.

This occupancy alonaland resort is a small private resort, only 1800 pesos a room. Although not a sea-view, but every hour and free bus drive us to the beach. Own a walk that is 20 minutes. This resort is one of Switzerland's open. I look for a long time, in the second line has a sliding similar resort. His is not the most beautiful. But the boss man's good, very "Switzerland". Because nearly all hotel reservations require a deposit. I ask the Bank of China, their remittance charges expensive scary, asked boss Rolf, he if credit card billing I give them my credit card be guaranteed, it is not necessary to send money to the banks make money. Which know he heard me speak of high charges after reply said: some people wanted to steal money, we do not have to sink a deposit. He believed that my commitment. Because of this commitment, I really liked this resort. Let me once again to return to Europe, the lack thereof at Provence Alps, Andalucia and feeling. In particular contrast in Hong Kong. Favor of the cold and warm, hearts, in the city of big yanliang city and holiday hamlets between how sharp contrast. After that, select a geographic location is not superior Aloanaland resort is correct poor tour spirit embodiment. Because the first line of the sea here is not just a hotel, private possessions. Regardless of your hotel to a sea view, most people do not like to stay at the room to enjoy the sea view. To our actual situation on our daily sea or spent on the beach, there is no time left to our resort.

Say a half-day, yet when it comes to the Philippines.

Sorry, because Shanghai to Manila to 4 hours, and hearty.

The Philippines is a holiday resort.

Tens of thousands of islands that make up this country. This way, we have embarked on six Islands large and small. In addition to the Manila Luzon Island, Cebu Island, mint Island, fat guys, balicasa Island, Virgin Islands. Luzon is, the smaller the uninhabited Virgin Islands.

The Manila airport, in fact, the first priority is to change money.

In fact, it is not too concerned about the exchange rate. Their dollar is very flat. The difference is not much around. It is above the ATM. However, the Philippines, nearly all of the above ATM does not mark the "Cup" got me scared at first, later known as Alona beach side of small banks can withdraw money, is the limit, so 10000P to payment handling fee will be more. However, security and safety, do not suffer.

Mint Island Airport little joy.

We first see the similar long distance bus station-airport. Step off the plane, walk to the terminal building, watching baggage from the aircraft out above, onto a baggage with it. Oh, the Terminal is far from our Hangzhou bus station. Arrival hall is 50 square meters. In the Philippines, I constantly feel: is not a large magnificent is the United States.

Best snorkeling at BALICASA island.

It is one of the Islands. There is a holiday resort on the island. But where passing can be sorry, live on your stomach. General the fisherman can drive to the shore, to lay down their balicasa, then went to bed. You can swim at the shore of coral reefs, and small fishes Frolic. At this time there will be many boats come and ask you to not go 100 meters away from the shore precipice view of sea fish. My answer is, to be sure to go, but don't sit on the boat. Swim, swim, can the boatman to a life jacket, wear your own swimming glasses, and then slowly swim.

Play is played with a process.

No process, the results directly to you, then great, you wouldn't think so pleasantly surprised. This is why I do not like to come with tuanyou. If you just go and see the most beautiful "attractions", you should sit on the boat. If you feel that the underwater world is slowly enjoy, then go to point to your own meat and also. Sea Cliff very shocked, but all the way to the bottom of the cliff is also very interesting. How to know the direction of the swim? not busy, you stand on the shore, there are many boat big ship's direction is. ..

General in fat old island holiday, always choose one morning at sea, chasing dolphins.

We started out a little late. Far saw many of the ship has been in the horizon side, we are eagerly looking forward to the boatman toOpen faster and faster. But I said, the greatest Filipino is slow. He does not care about your eagerness. Always slowly firmly on the boat.

But in fact do not have to be very worried indeed.

At dawn, we caught up with then chase the dolphins in large and small crab boat boatman has looked in there. Well, we saw a seemingly dolphins back. "Here" and "where" we juggle, slowly, we are familiar with the slightly different jumps and wave. Slowly, we begin to catch it, Oh, no! they form groups of dolphins found!! around you, you must be agile to switch your eyes. But when you see them high gaoyue sea, draw one beautiful arc, such a long Chase, so anxious mood, so demanding search, completely worth it. This time, we cheer, we can't help. To the groups of cute dolphin.

Watching the dolphins, scuba diving in General will go to balicasa.

If you're like me, there are a lot of time, it is recommended that you separate where to float for a whole day. Watch dolphins? went to a beautiful uninhabited islands: Virgin Islands (Virgen island).

Virgin Islands have no development, no way, is too small.

But she is too beautiful. The way you can see the arched extends to a distance of the beach. It is the Virgin Island into the sea often hair. The beach is the sea on both sides. Therefore, the boat when you feel wonderful, sandy beach of side can stop. You actually are along the beach in the middle part of the sea slowly toward the Virgin's arms. Here is a day on the bubble. Unfortunately, in the afternoon the sea rose up, they will drown her hair. So you want to dip her, the top most days. With little to eat and drink in an uninhabited island on lay half-days. Who says this is not a deity?

On the beach soaking time.

Often there will be a bit tired. Then the Mint Island Tour even a seasoned wine. Can't say how much Peppermint Island amazing qifeng formations, but such a day away from the sea, and into the jungle, with flowers, grass, will devour you provoked or interesting.

Mint Island Tour content is fairly good, generally to the airport terminal, load your drivers hands has a 1-day 7 spots of picture pocket of your business.

Do not deny, slowly and his talk, talk about a good price, after two days he will pick you up. Generally a cart 1700-2200 pesos. We will hire more people to the cart (VAN) is preferable, 2000, small car, of course, cheap, but you can only sit 4 people.

7 spots in fact mainly is 3-4.

Drivers will pull you in the middle of the chocolate mountains. Climb overlooking the surrounding, Round Hill, and not the color of the chocolate, the need to wait a few months to see it. So, we just call it bread Hill comparison. Then will come after artificial mangroves, Butterfly Park, arrival at lunch place: radish river rafting. Redwood expensive over gold, wild cut out early, so local cultivation and strictly protected, not hacking. Butterfly Park a little, but boot members patiently explain, let us know how many interesting knowledge, caterpillars, Butterfly Park in the back of your hands, earlobe photo above. It will let the adults like children so happy together.

Radish river rafting with lunch (buffet) is only 50 Yuan, really cheap.

Imagine if in Westlake, give you a lake with a buffet, 50 get fixed? start on board, we also think that eating so that everyone will get it's nothing. Which know sailing soon, to a supply point, served numerous food fruit, eat it completely without fighting. The water clarity, flashing green light, printed on both sides of the tropical plants. Occasionally on the Bank to stop and listen to local children's singing and acting. Although knowing that this is a tourism project, but still be moved by their simplicity. Son first noted the donation box, driving a boat people into their pockets. At the most interesting is to see the famous glasses monkey. This mini monkey always idle lie in a tree, like our national treasure Panda. Slow life while on individual is good, but for groups, it would be in danger of extinction. We limit the slow life in holiday then a few days.

Philippine Atmospheric trip ended and it left me enough I slowly memory until the next destination.

Boracay Raiders

Been to many places, because people lazy so haven't write. second went to the Philippines, a person to go to Boracay stroll down, finally remembered to do some writing, its called Raiders-might as well call the running tally right, hope you all can help.

I am a man, not finding mission, there is no advance discount tickets hotel reservation-I am the door from Xiamen, Xiamen first from the Xiamen fly to Manila-Manila China Southern Airlines and PAL two flights can choose, but pal's seemingly is separated genius has not every day that the ship is a China Southern Airlines-9: 05 minutes, to Manila didn't so basically 10: 00, no slack. with regard to the Philippines airport .NAIA1 and 2 the T1 and T2 T3 also called what name forgotten. foreign airlines flights will be in the Manila NAIA1 landing, with the oldest one terminal, do not know how to think, consider international image also does not take the worst for hospitality international friends bar .NAIA2 is T2, is dedicated, PAL PAL here domestic and international, T3 is the latest reportedly had intended to do international, but do not know why become a Filipino domestic inter airlines other than PAL with CEBU PACIFIC. "such as domestic and international in T3. airport and airport companies can call METER rental.

Manila nothing interesting, brilliant too in the 1970s, but later, because the domestic political instability, has been stagnant, so you can see in Manila basically are very old building, the road is very narrow; the only light rail is also built in the 1970 's. the Philippines most domestic traffic rely on their own hand-crafted to provide a jeep, a jeep on the road can easily dock, so it is easy to cause traffic jam, but they have become accustomed. Manila has a church, it is said that there are hundreds of years old, there is a star also specialized ran here to get married, forget the name.

From Manila to BORACAY, before you can select to KALIBO or to CALIKALAN (don't know if such a spell), but now only to KALIBO, CALIKALAN airport expansion, flights all stopped .CALIKALAN Airport go to BORACAY's Pier, very convenient. from KALIBO to Pier basically ready 90 ~ 120 minutes from KALIBO airport-out a small bread to the pier, most people together and left a man, I .200P is a person walking, gave the Golden 1200P.RMB and is basically about 1: 7, USD and Golden is about 1: 48, actually does not matter, and not, at the airport and are in BORACAY, BORACAY, change to lower point, nor very low to unreasonable levels. Golden island is 1 USD changed: 46.5 from Manila to KALIBO some ATR's propeller aircraft also have 737 and A320.

Terminal to BORACAY is a crab boat, less than 10 minutes., contains on island 100P tickets and tax-what is on the island of buy, so don't take something on the island, with money. I have no reservation found, on the island, sitting on the bike to go straight to the REGENCY BEACH HOTEL-rooms, one night at a 20% OFF probably 4680P, I forget counting direct book than in ctrip price looks like buy, the price includes service charge and a breakfast room, wireless broadband-500P next expensive, network speed is not very ideal .REGENCY in 4 km sandy beach in the Middle, is also good, the hotel is on the edge of the beach, the hotel has a swimming pool-turn right 2 minutes to the famous big supermarket DMALL, Xiaodong Siu Sai can buy then right away-there's a Starbucks, wine at the left bank there are water sports projects have YELLOW CAB PIZA, is said to be good, but I did not eat. eat or more points on the right side of the hotel, nothing to eat for lunch, evening there will be lively, seafood buffet meal, 250P/person but eat not to something, or your own point GRILL, but you have to do homework, seafood names and practices-Filipino English are good, but with a strong accent, basically all the accents such as P, B sound, T D tone hair, English is not good with an electronic dictionary and accompaniment became popular through accompaniment became popular should also deal with past. Beach good, but did not think very clean seawater., beach walk a long back and forth, I'm half day walk-unfortunately there is a place to put that in to the sea, smelly stinky dirty water, affects mood. most of the sand of the beach is fine, but there are few places suitable for rough-trance, I spent several days nor boring. shootin the sea breeze, the Sun, in Starbucks balcony watching the passing of beauty, eat eat barbeque, time is always very easy too.

The cost is 50P Islands, out of the Terminal have bread to KALIBO Airport leave enough time for it.. back to KALIBO seems to be cheaper, 175P/person-wrote so much.

PS: tickets can be the best, I advance in SM bought next day ticket, spent 9200P, if scheduled so 4000P is enough, but they must be at least 2 days in advance, preferably above provides a week in advance.

Discussion on how to avoid the dives or reduce the occurrence of nitrogen drunk effect!

Before wrote a own encounter nitrogen drunk, frankly speaking, following a nitrogen drunk, somewhat shadow, that feels really wasn't fooling. After a relatively shallow diving sites, only 27 meters above sea level, it seems a bit drunk. I can't convince myself, then early latent 60 meters are not too drunk feeling, now no appetite, after this time, careful analysis of the diving first, slowly realize the reason. Just a personal point of view, for your reference. It is said, drink good people, nitrogen drunk effect will reduce, not necessarily. I think I drink good, not like a drunken nitrogen. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless gas, air in occupies 78 per cent, we know that oxygen in more than a certain amount of oxygen partial pressure, makes one oxygen toxicity, and partial pressure between the 1.4 and 1.6ata, exceed the oxygen partial pressure 1.6ata will oxygen toxicity. The nitrogen is nitrogen pressure, when the nitrogen pressure exceeding 3.2, will produce narcotic effect. In diving, we inhale is higher than the percentage of nitrogen on land, so you need to do the required depth, to release the safety of nitrogen. But security stays will not clean the nitrogen released, so when we rise to the surface, the body still have residual nitrogen. Analysis of my first serious process of nitrogen drunk, first dive with a gweilo 18 meters underwater time 30 minutes, security has done a stay of 3 minutes. Rest for almost 1 hour, to a deeper dive, 35 meters, nitrogen drunk. First of all, this shallow dive plan after deep didn't meet the standard. Originally there is no plan to conduct the first diving, due to a temporary variable, so I went to. The second depth than the first in depth, but also nitrogen pressure exceeds 3.2, plus the first residue of nitrogen in the body, so it accelerates the nitrogen drunk effect. Furthermore, because nitrogen drunk, but also exceeds the requirements of the no-decompression time depth, finally in 5 metres made nearly 15 minutes of safe, up later, computer table is locked. Causing nitrogen drunk another reason is to rest and drink, head one night a couple of cans of beer, and go to bed until 12 o'clock in the morning and got up earlier, there are large amounts of alcohol in the blood is not discharged, lack of sleep, and produces nitrogen drunk. After analysis, I think that to avoid or reduce nitrogen drunk drunken of nitrogen in the following points: 1, in strict accordance with leisure diving schedule to make diving program, do not try to challenge or beyond the limits of the individual; 2, minimize the number of dive, it is best not to exceed 30 metres, or recreational diving maximum depth; 3, when there was a nitrogen after drunken experience, remember the depth of the nitrogen drunk occurred, each dive to the depths of time to pay attention; 4, dive in for the night before, not drinking enough sleep and rest time; 5, scuba diving, the reaction of nitrogen drunk occurred, slowly rising to a shallow depth, or abandoning the dive plan; 6, in a dive, be sure not to far away from your potential with mutual observation at all times; 7, do not try or deliberately to experience the feeling of nitrogen drunk. These are some of my personal opinion, I think, to comply with these provisions, should it be possible to reduce nitrogen drunk or to avoid nitrogen drunk, let every diving are more secure, and fun!

Cebu/let you lying on holiday

A boss's attracted to Cebu/vacation, a look at the hotel has no telephone in the room, angrily protest immediately: "let the company how to find me? I put the phone right away, or I'll check out!" and the hotel staff are patiently persuade him not to dryness ç¨, ease holiday, if the company is really in a hurry, hotels guarantee that it will first notice to him.

He reluctantly allow themselves to settle down, together with others, pickled Ocean Mu sunlight ...

This feeling is really good, then he put on leave was extended by one week.

Philippines Cebu (Cebu), is the world famous seaside attractions, really, there's nothing "fun", it does not have a glorious Temple Thailand, nor Malacca historical precipitation, not holidaymakers exotic, attractive fashion shopping, it's only through the blue sea, the original jungle and unsophisticated villager, only if you like lying on the beach, floating on the sea to relax as fully to appreciate its quiet and beautiful.

From domestic to Manila, Cebu, must be approved by night, and then turn to Cebu, return trip is equally.

We suggest that you first go to Cebu full holiday break, return, and then spent two days in Manila city tour, also received the "accept" to return to the heart of busy work prior to the transition.

From Manila to Cebu's aircraft every day, morning 7: 30 or 9: 30 and 75 minutes.

Cebu's belonging to the central Philippines, Visa Asia Islands is the country's second largest city, from some of the main island and surrounding island.

The first time again in the event of armed conflict, is the southernmost in the Philippines, Mindanao Island outside of the isolated island, it is said that militants to northward "crime" is not possible. The Philippines is felt, the islands of traffic is not developed, and the same product in the origin and the non-producing areas of the price difference between good, so that "Central, North is secure", the words or credible.

Bubble sea water

20 minutes from the airport, the Shangrila Beach Hotel (Mactan Island Shangri-la ' s Resort), this is the best resort hotel in Cebu, get there, you'll fly up.

At least you should spend a whole day to not go anywhere, soaked in Shangri-La.

Philippine's Cebu world-famous Mango Mango is the best in the Philippines, and fragrant and sweet but definitely not shy. Room daily complimentary 4 mango, and restaurant also has cut good mango make you enjoy carrying leather. Mango juice more must drink, yellow is ripe mango juice, sweet and strong, intermediate shaft in the Cup a straw can move without moving; green mango juice of the fruit, sweet with acid, particularly refreshing.

After breakfast, you can go to the bubble.

Here the sea is blue blue, sandy beach is artificial, because there is no sand, Harbour are coral reefs, swim in the sea a little sore feet, so visitors are in for a swim in the swimming pool. While in the water from your line of sight, the swimming pool water and seawater just blend into each other, equally feel vast sea.

Swim tired, you can lie on the beach or lounge, take a look at the book lying, or the swimming pool of foreign baby photos are really enjoy.

Shangri-La's many leisure facilities, you can go to play golf, or you can go diving if you have a diving license.

Here there are all kinds of restaurants and bars, the "world's best" Philippine band and certainly not to be missed.

In the evening, walk to the Marina, the wooden floor of the Bank is just brushing too, people can't help but want to lie down.

Body, is the impact of the sea; looked up, is the hotel reflecting light; wind, open-air bar floating to the music of vaguely, and pitch-black night sky will cover your entire, only the bright moon to listen to your heart.

To enjoy the real sea bathing, should go to Cebu island on the edge of the wave-Dutch island (Bohol), from Mark Martin (Mactan) terminals per hour has-ferry flight.

There are many resorts Cebu Beach Club-Beach, (Cebu Beach Club) is one of them.

Wave-g is a coral island, was crushed Coral Sea water into the sand, not like flour that sand, but even in the exposure of Sun, step on it still is cool. Snow-white beach, the sea was structured reflection: near is shallow green, the distance is deep blue.

Here, you'll always be doing nothing to bubble, lie lying, eat, drink, drink, submarine diving, rowing, pick pick seashells, playing beach volleyball, do coconut oil massage ...

If holiday lets, two or three days after another holiday bubbles, rolled in to enjoy the city's most unique spend time fun.

Play on the island

Cebu is Spain Navigator Magellan was originally found in the Philippines, and embrace the cross, was Yu Italy Spain after the occupation, and indigenous resistance and victims; the indigenous leaders spread the spread also became the first hero of the Philippines.

So in Cebu left many historical sites: Saint Peter Saint Lo Castle, Church, Luo Bo River ... Spend a day browsing, will not trip.

● Luo Bo Church children's choir

If the stroke should be allowed, "wave-Dutch tour" on Sunday, because each Sunday morning from 7: 30-8: 30, world-renowned Luo Bo children's choir will sing Krobo Church, listening to their songs do not have to understand the lyrics, the pure-tone it is enough to enjoy.

Members of the choir must be 7-12 year-old child, their concert in Manila and cultural centre, tickets $ 1500 pesos, has also been invited to come to China to participate in the Shanghai Art Festival.

● Luo Bo River (Loboc River)

It is said that Japan visitors favorite tour Krobo River.

This at first glance not up to much of the River, tour after the passenger is alsoEven unforgettable.

"Yachts", is surrounded by empty then simple however ship, some pieces of "coffee", some pieces of lightweight chairs, some drink, a Filipino singer sings, plays guitar, boat slowly in this way.

But gradually, you will find nothing important, no nothing, as long as this quiet green, is enough. The River is thick thick green on both sides of the tropical rainforest is thick and green, the River almost only our boat, or occasionally to meet several River in a tree or wood felling on the child, if you hold the camera on them, they will be cheering and responds to you ... -Length over time, is a wonderful riverside lunch, in coconut trees or "mud" (transliteration) leaves the tent structures, one in back to the local indigenous people, really good.

• Chocolate hills (Chocolate Hills)

It's a wonder: this used to be here, and later by crustal movement of extrusion and raised, forming a ceaseless 1268 small Habitat.

As was the harbour of rocks, mountain only long thin layer of grass. The dry summer, the mountains of the grass become yellow, little habitat becomes the endless "KISSES chocolate".

• Spain dinner

La Tegola (Tel: # 3456080, # 4192220) is located at the top of the Hill on a Spain restaurant, the boss is a bit thin, thin, very gentle and very diligent in Spain, he does not speak much, but clean the table, side dishes, very professional.

There is taste of Spain food prices are almost pure, only 1/3 of Shanghai. Pick a temporary window seat, quiet night scene is the Cebu food matching the best partner.

● CHIKA-AN meals

Located in Juana Osmena Street on CHIKA-AN, is a similar "Typhoon" casual restaurant, where different, in order to supply a buffet, so can other point dish.

Especially recommended is a Jet-Black grilled squid, don't look for it, is very good scare.

Glimpse of Manila

The Philippines under Spain ruled more than 300 years, Spain remains can be seen everywhere.

Manila's city in the city (Intramuros) is Spain's inhabited Castle, is also the site of the original Manila city, was acclaimed as the "world's best preserved medieval city", although serious destruction in World War II, still constantly fix, but walk through it, you still feel like a walk in the old town of Spain.

The city has a lot of the building was converted into a Museum, arts and crafts shops and restaurants, the most interesting is a well-preserved Spain sites, from the door wagon road, hanging gardens to the Hall, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, it makes people feel when Spain aristocratic living luxury.

¡Ø Manila sunset

The famous Manila sunset, the quiet of Manila Bay, rendering a golden, summer also often see Rainbow when empty.

The sunset is very long, swaying coconut grove with Le SA Park, Capitol, ITC, coconut Palace and many other landmark attractions, if you rent a bike side by side and or charming scenery. In Aristrocrat can eat the best grilled chicken in Manila, near there is the "most extravagant" the Embassy of the United States – covers of amazing.

Dark blue dreams – Philippines Cebu 5 days

Philippines Cebu, a dark blue dream.

Large new year we hit the road, from Pudong airport take the Philippine Airlines flights to Manila PR339, lasted 4 hours.

To tell the truth, PAL service insurgents, as is the Boeing 747-400 double machine, steward, push with Diners and small, a lunch with nearly half an hour, then, a water and wait a long, cold drinks and hot drinks from different air hostesses service, etc. .. Lunch is food tray, coconut chicken with rice and fish, all of the former are not very fit, too sweet. However each seat has a headset, as if by 7-8-channel, very rich.

Falling asleep in Manila, a smaller airport while, but is said to be PAL yourself, stop your own aircraft, calf.

Turn to fly Cebu to wait 2 hours after immigration clearance, struck a visa, the opposite has exchange offices at the baggage carousel, you can use dollars pesos, generally is US $ 1 = 48 pesos or so, 1 Yuan = 5.6 pesos or so. US dollar in the Philippines did not think so common that most shops or only accept pesos, pesos for multipoint or necessary. We are all for $ 200, including shopping is sufficient. From international to domestic floor, building, and security. Philippines security very strictly, shoes, x-ray, also searched separately for men and women, was frightened by a terrorist attack. PR863 take off on time, night 6-point landing Cebu airport, the Hilton Hotel.

As a travel agency, the Hilton name before Schweitzer, thought and Sanya resort almost style.

A scene is silly, not far from the city centre, business-like lobby, small poor Beach, on the edge of a chicken farm, night of the chicken is noisy. The surrounding environment, in-room facilities is relatively good, after all, is the Hilton. Guide to remind every morning before going out to put the pillow 50 pesos as a tip, we have not only gave 20 pesos, and later it is said that the clothes not only to the stack, just a ride on the back, I think if there is no tipping, will not be in bed on the Pushpin non Oh, just a joke. Recommended that you not set the Hilton, if point for Shangri-La, luxurious common point is set near the Tambuli Beach Hotel, first hotel there are more concentrated, the second from the port, chartering sailing conveniently.

The next morning we set off from Hilton, according to the Internet before, we are going to sea gonglue snorkeling and the Sun.

Twists, take a TAXI to 150 pesos Boyla Dive Center (next to the main entrance from the Bluewater Hotel alley, one of the holes in the road, about 200 m, TAXI can be opened in. ), From the facade on the looks more formal, with security and uniform Miss, not as a private, in which also met a couple of Hong Kong. Bargain, we four Pack next "crab boat", identified the three small islands (you can listen to the stewardess recommendation), rented 4 set snorkeling mask, a total of 4000 Peso (not including on island, snorkeling). We also have the group creation 21 people take a crab boat hull records, only slightly larger than our, 210 pesos per person. Proposal on board before you put on a swimsuit and then set of t-shirt, then basic no dressing place.

"The crab boat" is the Cebu's unique maritime traffic tools, both in normal hulls respectively fixed a stick used to balance, because it takes the form of the crab.

The crew is 4 to 20-year-old boy, complexion but experienced. The speed is very fast, we then experience ecstatic, four, or lying in the Sun on the deck, or standing on the bow waves, or rely on the ship's playing in the water, surrounded by the azure blue sea water is limpid, everything like the Chivas advertisement enables carefree feeling. Key reminders shall be at least 30 minutes before the sea spread 30 times more sunscreen, particularly proud men be sure to listen to this advice, we are the Sun burst out of the skin is the end. The boat has a foam box for storing chilled drinks, San Miguel beer, coke, sprite, all 50 pesos a bottle. Stern has a simple closed space with "CR", a washroom (toilet in the Philippines are stated as CR, of all ages know, when you only need to ask for directions where ' s CR? can be satisfied with the reply)

The first Island (exact name forgot) for snorkeling area, stopped a lot of the crab boat, many people begin to snorkeling, scuba diving fee here need 100 pesos per person, but also much cheaper than the Sanya.

Recommendations with a hint of bread, holding feeding the fish and enjoy the feeling of a hundred fish Chase, super-cool.

Lunch, juvenile on crab boats took us to a dining area, in the sea the sea platform looking dinner.

Chose a House called "TOPIE DINAN" restaurant, up until we have also been doing ripped. We had: 1 Lapu fish (local specialties, practice level bar, all praise), 4 2 only crab, shrimp, sea only 2 entries fish, 1 sea mussel (not very good, very hard and very sweet), 2 plate rice (cafes in taste or flavor), 4 bottles of San Miguel beer. Boss called me to a total of 85%, not 2300 pesos, expensive than domestic and much cheaper. Dinner was also the guitar player from the Philippines to eke (and Sanya is somewhat similar), sing very well, we gave 200 pesos a tip.

The third island is a coral island in the sea, white sand beaches and tranquil, yet poignant, we also play a snorkeling, underwater is the Sea Urchin, tired to shore up the shell, a paradise.

First, the second floor of the Mall worth of counter is Lee, jeans conversion over RMB 100-150 a, but relatively short longth universal, said at the previous gonglue Levis only for domestic 8-10% discount, no purchase necessary. Male t-shirts, colourful and bright pattern is very unique, amounting to 40-60 a, male compatriots basic 2-3 per person.

Bohol Island glasses monkey spots outside the most. Basic can cut to the necklace 50 pesos, earrings, bracelet 30 pesos 30 pesos. And hawker to 15-20-year-old young handsome guy, very friendly, even if not so Jolly to buy, no female compatriots music top plastic bag loose back into piles of small jewelry.

Ya Shi Landai most cheap, Basic for around 6% in the country, especially his night repair cream, domestic 50ml to 900 Yuan, there is only $ 800 100ml results are our female compatriots buy out-of-stocks. Lancome and Dior for domestic, 8-10% discount is 7% or so of perfume. Food district of "white elephant" of chocolate production can be purchased, Paraguay.

Great popularity, and recommendations.

Attractions: other gonglue describes a brief introduction here.

Mint Island: ferry to open 100 minutes, it is recommended that you spend more time on the deck, the scenery and the sea almost Greece.

The island besides glasses monkey, chocolate hills, there are a raft drifting seats, the scenery good gourmet lunch trip unfortunately is too short. The end of the village children compared to eke out, give a tip, performers you pengfu. The island also has 2 clock milk hole, not too big, and protective equipment obsolete, you must be aware of the feet.

Mr Chol round the cross and the Cathedral of the Holy Childhood: in the same location.

Don't buy kids selling candles, otherwise once hand, flocked to the children's group will give you drown. Here be sure to see the large thief tight belongings.

Notes:

1. all fruit and liquids (including all cosmetics and sunscreen) must be checked, you can only throw away.

I have a small bottle of essential balm that are checked out.

2. every Friday to Cebu traffic control sessions, street congestion, traffic jams, it is recommended that you stagger the extremely.

3. Mint Island glasses monkey eyes in case of strong light will come now, be sure to turn off the Flash when taking pictures.

My first time abroad--yet the Philippines II: recommendations

Recommendations:

Time intensive TX, not too bothered about ticket prices, optimization of routes: Hong Kong direct flight to Cebu, tour half day (in fact, two hours is enough) ship to Mint Island, return from Mint Island Tower tagbilaran Tagbilaran direct flight to Manila, then flew to Hong Kong or Shanghai.

Manila please reserve a day, half-day excursion to the castle of San Diego and other historical sites, half a day to visit SM mall. Remember that we must live in the Malate district, close to airport, close to all attractions and SM, and if the hotel is close to the Manila Bay, certain requirements live to see the sea room, you can directly in the room at the Manila Bay sunset in the world. This trip is less than our trip boats, a flight, saving nearly a day, but more comprehensive spending estimates nearly 1000RMB.

Time, like poor tour of TX please to Cebu Pacific http://www.cebupacificair.com/or Philippine Airlines round-trip discount http://www.philippineairlines.com/buying airline tickets.

As regards the time budgets are tight TX, please contact Shanghai or Shenzhen area direct flight mission, the tour is about more than 4000.

General for four days and six nights.

By the way: this excursion does not select Ctrip products, mainly because of the time and travel, and some foreign hotel, because the choice crtip than agoda, Agoda will of did, but also want to strengthen foreign Hotel crtip.
