Overseas line of the 2006 Travel Philippines-Manila, long beach (2)

Second day: morning Manila city tour, afternoon arrived in long beach:

Morning wake up used breakfast provided by the hotel (beyond the number of partial 75P/person), walk to the street, then presumably morning 10: 00 in bars, Island-style climate, Sun, blue sky, although the street vehicles denser air flow, but still so fresh.

Live in fact leave Manila Bay, across over Sunset Boulevard, came to the Gulf Coast Dyke, coconut leaves fluttering, opposite the sea is wide, but see what big vessel, estimated depth up to requirements. Along the beach, with Sunset Boulevard to the north direction, after the need for maintaining the military guard, see inside the United States Consulate to act of the Philippines, too many, a bit like watching exhibition-like feel. But security and will not so easily soldiers, we set foot into the peripheral areas, far away will remind us not to, and then follow the distance, behind the door Guard soldiers stood with heavy machine guns on the Jeep staring at us, fingers pointing point, alas, is a United States person to blame!

To go to Manila is famous of Independence Square and Rizal Park, in fact, they are linked to a piece of that thing, in the direction of the axis of the respective country flag and the independence movement of Rizal, then know that the Rizal is a descendant of Fujian, China, the Philippines independent contribution of life, incumbent President Arroyo of the Philippines is a bride of Fujian descent, they are regarded as we Chinese people relatives! not get out of the habit of people – a cursory-shopping, patted photo to the right of a tour, a memento of a continued to the North – there's a better preservation of the ancient city hundreds of years ago, Spain in Manila's Center.

The ancient land, surrounded by city walls still incomplete, in fact, the walls are very short, and Chinese cities preserved city walls than in a heavyweight. Western-style building is in the city, at that time planning is also quite good, so just between buildings, estimated previously should be bustling place, particularly the Church, a magnificent building was exquisite, we go in one of the biggest feelings, found it really is very lively, to pray and sing hymns of Filipinos, laced with various patterns of colorful glass Jesus workmanship, the excitement, bring up the religious atmosphere is a wistful feeling. Personally think that if after a period of such infection, in this solemn environment easily lead to dependency, this estimate is religion a lot.

At noon we left the city, fought back to the hotel packed things in order to catch the fly card standing wave in the afternoon.

Lunch in the hotel next to a supermarket inside the solution, since the Philippines is also a lot of population (population density is also high), and the people, the supermarket's restaurant turned out to be a lot, and basic is full. Powerful, eating varieties have everything, the figure is complete, I also found the Mid-Autumn Moon Cantonese, haha, finally opened horizons!

Afternoon flight card standing wave of aircraft is 15: 00, last night imparted Filipinos processing the unpredictability of the matter, in order to secure, 13: 00 some we hurry to play to the domestic airport-Domestic Airport (and the international airport is not together, is in the same direction, not far away, but drivers can easily confuse), we draw on the lessons learned from last night are on the front of the bargain (netizens say playing table will be much cheaper, but our practice is generally very difficult to put down the prices to speak really confused), driver of the asking price is 250P-300P per vehicle.

30 minutes looks to get to the airport, domestic flights airport is too small, you may also not as good as our domestic medium city bus stop, which is and how busy our bus station, large bags, small package crowded into the departure hall to queues, because entry guard to check ID Ming and air tickets are indispensable, to receive your boarding pass counter prior to security screening carried out, men's and women's respective column. Get boarding pass before the same queues, see the licensing check when you want to, well, I was so complex, so I kept thinking: "too many people in the Philippines, the Philippines and order their own lack of confidence, if we do not understand English in this really do not know what to do!"

There is also a note is the Philippines can only carry the Inland machine is very small pieces of carry-on luggage, and cannot carry cosmetic articles computer, charger, are to be shipped, in short, it is necessary to leave sufficient time for these procedures, and inevitably ran back and forth, or otherwise.

On to the aircraft that is underway and the Tiger as his own position sitting (and cheap air fares generally), only to find that it is not, and we check in 8 people were "bin sister" arrangements in the absence of window of the last row seat, but we are not the final check of a group of customers, Ah, really heinous, I secretly suspect that it is the exclusion of thought.

As is the provincial government card standing wave of Airbus A320 aircraft, large aircraft, in the Philippines are, if they take a direct flight to long beach on the other side of the airport is Catiklan small aircraft, time off, about 50 minutes to reach the card standing wave, from KALIBO to Catiklan terminal needs 1 and a half hours, is air-conditioned minibuses to PHP170/person, return is PHP150 per person, from long Beach Pier into Catiklan BORACAY ticket is PHP30/person, together with the TERMINAL FEE PHP50/person (look íøóñ travels before is like our 20P arrived in the Philippines, when a lot of things are through the roof, is not now is the season for them?). Philippines days earlier than our home before dark, 18: 00 when we arrived at the port is a dark, while the other side of the near long beach I. scattered light can clearly see, because the Philippines has just blown over a decades in strong winds and waves of the sea is still very powerful, the transition of the crab boat could not close to the pier, boat access, subject to the consumption per person is not invoiced 10P, almost the entire flight of people crowded into Terminal waiting anxiouslyOn the boat, the wind is really too much, and even at the pier boat are very difficult, each boat will need several boatman to mess around with, after departure, if not too far from shore to think big wave the boat up and scream like a stream so the leaves, on one occasion even almost like tipping, the water from the side of the boat with the Baby frightened cry, so that we are not seen by thinking of was the Titanic "film scene. Well, finally got the crab boat, then opened for ten minutes and finally, on the shore of long beach I., and the entire transition process has spent nearly an hour, the normal time estimate just 20 minutes.

The wind is still wild, it must give to the shore of coconut trees, disembarkation after but can't see the legendary beauty of the beach, users say what Boat Station 1, Boat Station 2, and Boat Station 3 three beach boat docking point simply will not see, crab boat took us on a such a countryside surrounds dock (later know now is in the Terminal and from long beach I., not on the white sand beach, and tourists), is in fact very Tama in touting, stranger, does not dare to mess sat, along the muddy "road" go, see the roadside with a row of stores that look is a native of the island, and they took my card standing wave airport get only one called fat jimmy ' s resort hotel leaflet asked for directions, the store's boss told us the hotel probably in Station 2 location nearby, but here is the regional Station 1, go to sit Mo 's, 100P a car seats 4 people, to 20 minutes by car.

When we got two Mo 's, discovery of boss and her husband also sit on the drivers behind the seats, that is to take us, also thanks to their leading the way was asked this and not conspicuous magnitude of Royal Hotel, reading room, very clean and comfortable, not easy to speak to the 2300P/room/day, a total of 8 to two room included breakfast is OK, see take us to the stores couples around the hotel were talking about what estimates are to take us to the rebate, the Philippines is a tip, we actively give the couple 40P Lai tips to find table thanks go out to eat, and rest is none of our business.

Go out, go through a market, to the bustling tourist centre districts, we live, eat and drink here is playing out of focus, Oriental, Westerners have, like Phuket's Centre districts, but they seem higher levels, less cluttered, so a good environment, the mood is relaxed, beautiful large a meal-lunch in the Philippines, such as Cantonese Restaurant dishes, compare comparison! also line.
