Philippines long beach I.-worth!

First, prepare

Holiday is coming and wanted to go with her husband island resort.

Last year went to Hainan Island, in the winter to enjoy sunny beach summer dress is really good, or want to go to the Islands in play. Listen to a friend, want to Bali in Indonesia and the Philippines to do long beach I.. At the end of January until the holiday, so I started to pay attention to free December product line. No thought to the middle of December, we are all suitable for ctrip online travel holiday products all reservation is complete. Now there is no other choice and decided to go to the Philippines long beach I.. I heard the price is cheaper than Bali. Ctrip online Manila extended beach, go back to stay in Manila for a day, 7 days 6 nights like this, but two Philippine Airlines + visa + hotel (general holiday village), a total of $ 12000. Then go online and search the Cebu Pacific Air cheap round trip one 2500 Yuan or so, two people $ 5000. Provide equivalent us $ prices resort 109 a night, it was so cheap. Inadvertently spring travel guide online see the Philippines long beach 5 day 4 night before 4680 yuan/person. Including air tickets (Cebu Pacific tickets), Visa, hotel, airport to hotel transfer (including tickets). In this way, they do have to more than 8000, plus travel more than 500 single visas, we finally decision or reservation products and autumn travel guide. Since the departure of many visitors, travel service, let us get paid money, we'll confirm tickets and room. At the end of December, we expect holidays book well.

Second, the holidays begin

The first day of January 30:

Because cheap air flight times, therefore is not very good 5J679 (0030/0410), we take the 1, 30, 0: 55 aircraft travelled to Manila.

04: 20 can be reached, and then go to the domestic airport go 5J339 (0820/0920) flight to Kari wave. This year the weather was bad, Shanghai continuous snowfall, snow on the ground is very thick, seriously affected the flight. Many flight delays and cancellations. We are very worried that, in the early evening, 29, and came to the airport. Our flight is not delayed, and the plane still early here, at around 0: 35, our plane took off. The Manila international airport, the Office of immigration procedures, people are not very many, very smooth. Always worried that morning without money, it's good to have a window open. But the exchange rate is very low, online say dollars is 1: 40.8, and we see that day 1: US $ 40, maybe because of the way down. Because when you have to pay a tip by boat, so let's get $ 300 USD, Peso 12000. Out of the airport saw a bus opposite, guess is free to go to the domestic airport by bus. Being abroad or discreet, we asked the security gate, established on the bus.

Their domestic airport by air to enter.

Showed them our ticket confirmations, smooth access. Domestic airport looks like our domestic long distance bus station, little fragmented. We run the boarding card, and then go to the edge of the small window to pay airport tax 200p, then we need to separate security, women and men, even shoes have to take off. Through the security check, we came to a small Terminal waiting. Fortunately, the plane on time, we took up the card in the wave of the plane, the plane is small, but steady, about one hour to the Karim wave airport.

Took one out of the airport baggage, someone to meet us, because we book the transfer airport to hotel.

Hear our order the company, is the largest land next, what I forgot, anyway, is the third leaf. Wait until all of us to start, probably about 2 hours, arriving at the Terminal doors to us to pay environmental taxes, prices or deliberate lie to us, had we each 100p (online travels that 20p). Because we are not very good English, but also in other countries would not care, paid the money, the door to all baggage check, fill in the open access to the table, and then we had on board. Staff very kind and help you put the luggage on board, but to tipping, 20p alone. (In fact, our luggage is very light, they help, but they get the help you, no way. ) About 20 minutes away, one can see blue clean sea, the mood was good. The same one will help you with your luggage, don't forget to pay 20p tips, Oh.

The more the company arranged for their local taxi, (on the edge of a motorcycle is fitted with a car only) put some guests were sent to a different hotel.

We are booking "paradise garden" the hotel, but the taxi driver is not found, ask our address, we took out confirmations to him, he stopped at a place called "ONEGMG" hotel, that it is this address, but the name wrong, he does not know. I'm shocked, hotel reservation is wrong? think impossible, such a great spring travel guide should not be such a mistake. The driver said he helped us to ask, he entered the hotel asked the waiter, waiter said they here, that came out to help us with the luggage to the front of the registration. My heart is falling stones, finally arrived. Hotel environment is also good, the room is small, the room has a bed, nothing superfluous decoration, is TV fridge is hiding in the closet. The hotel is close to the beach, away from the hotel there is the path straight behind the beach, about 5-10 minutes on foot.

Already been at 1 point, our stomach is very hungry, just next to the beach and find a restaurant for lunch.

We find Casa Pilar described online restaurant, point a tuna salad (140p) seafood fried rice (190p) roast chicken with vegetables salad and French fries (160p) have their most delicious most famous mango shake (100p) total 590p, gave 600p, do not change. After lunch, we visit the beach, look at the beach, the basic situation is preparing the schedule for tomorrow.

The island has 2 North-South Road, one can travel by main road, after D ' mall

Of two supermarkets Crafts and Budget in this street. A total of 3 floors, Crafts is the island's biggest supermarket. Another is along the beach of "walking Street" on the side of the road is a wide variety of restaurants, hotels, bars, grocery stores, and the other side is the beach, often have some small sale of shell jewelry.

A number of the quiet, near many bars, and sea tour basically to a number of waters near boarding; no. 2 Basic comparative hilarious, hotel focus in this area, the visitor center is also here, in the supermarket to buy water 45p and Cebu mango stem 100g67p, did not find 7d.

The island's most bustling commercial district d-mall at no. 2, there are others in the vicinity; has been saying that for a good place to eat seafood d×talipapa also no. 2. Three numbers head quiet, there are also some water project in this proceeding. Along the West Coast has a sand path, you can only walk, from a number of cross-cutting to no.3, likewise on the East side there is a parallel to the tar road, can take a local three-wheeled taxi. On the beach we find there are a lot of money, some are private, the exchange rate is different. 1: 38, 1: 39 are in no hurry to change, many shopping several compare, we at no. 2 and no. 3 and found a home in the Middle: 40.3 1, a little better than the airport, we had a total of 200 dollars, plus previous 8060p change, I think it's essential to keep the overhead of a few days.

In the evening we went to the beach, the beach with a lot of tables and chairs, beach has become the open sea-view restaurant, lights flash, really.

The beach was full of seafood buffet, prices are different, the basic 200p-350p between, we have chosen a buffet, drinks are not included in the buffet room, pay to the other. Maybe foreign really consciously, do not buy any gift certificates, you like to take the dishes you can only select food, eat active pay. The beach and the many real leakage, could not be found alone, it's up to you to consciously. Eat dinner early returned to the hotel to rest, overnight flight is really tired, you can only save the manual to play well.

The next day January 31:

We slept to nature, wash after we arrived at the hotel restaurant to eat breakfast.

Thought Filipino breakfast must taste, try look feel good, varieties also quite many, basic is the Western-style flavor, fruit is very rich. But the hotel waiter is very polite, as long as you are in the hotel rooms, regardless of experience, restaurant waiter waitress or gardener guard, they will take the initiative and said hello to you, and even stopping work say: "goodmorning. ”“good afternoon。 ”…… We are a bit shy. Eat breakfast, we went out looking for them to eat seafood place. In the years before I discuss it with her husband is good, a good tasty seafood meal, I heard that is cheap and delicious. Go on the road for a long time is not found, only saw a local people buy food market. Get tired, we'll ask for a three-wheeled motorcycle, go straight to the d×mall, heard that there are many food and large supermarkets. The supermarket stuff is very expensive, probably in the island's sake, something of course and freight, many things are more expensive than Shanghai. Their basic are cold drink Nestlé. In the supermarket to buy water 33p and Nestle beverage 80p, anyway, is better than a visitor centre and supermarket. In the supermarket to see 7d mango stem 100g75p, than online said 200g107p expensive. To the beach from d-mall wear, saw many diving advertising and would like to give it a try, but are Korea, Japan and other foreigners, the language barrier, there is no choice but to abandon. Decided to go to the Island Hopping and snorkeling. Now, suddenly saw a billboard on a line of English and art at the side of the Chinese national flag, and now feel particularly cordial, go look at the original is written in "the island unique Chinese diving coach, takes you to explore the ocean ...", just watching, a male voice of Chinese accent: "Chinese? are you from?" and "We the people of Shanghai. "" I am the Wuhan ... "we just talked. learn diving a person really badly 3000p,, US-50 e say 75 dollars, 3000p press 1: 40 is just about 75 dollars we talk about good afternoon, leaving, the coach said that really want to dive, lunch don't eat too saturated, we bid farewell to the coach, will go to other parts of the collar collar and conditions, if any cheap again and he asked about. Island, unified price, their diving Club have price agreements are 3000p one (if any arbitrary price, you will receive a diving organizations $ fine), including theoretical training, half an hour and a half hours after the equipment training and diving first aid training, and then to the bottom of the sea to sea diving, 5-6 metres of feeding the fish, taking pictures, go to the bottom of the sea for 10-12 metres at the marine life. Come back after the photo CD to us. I would like to don't embarrass others, also no longer cool, as long as the service is good. So we went back to d-mall, found a restaurant rush to eat lunch, then back to the hotel changed swimsuit set off. 1 point-in-time coaching Department to come to China to learn diving knowledge and emergency measures. Finally the coach found a crab boat, we set off, a coach, a Chinese, a look as if they were local。 Ship to a designated place, coach let us first see their demonstration, how to go. People sitting in the boat, with his back to the sea, and put on the equipment (coach for our back-filling the gas heart, said does not sink), the right to protect his breathing apparatus and surface mirror, left hand on the head, the person to go back into the sea. Would also not afraid to see such into action, start a little trembling because I can't swim. Coach told her husband, the husband did not hesitate before they turn into the sea, the Chinese coach encourages me, I finally got a cruel turn on, just think people completely immersed in sea water, the body slowly into the sea. China coach followed down. The sea is a bit of a storm, I fear, it's a little regret, coach let us go down along the rope, I just let the sea did not triumph, Ried, because in the shallow water to practice emergency ambulance, I choked up, immediately jump out of the water. I think deep water then uncomfortable to hold your breath, screen can be life-threatening. I'll be back in the water, said not to go. Her husband is very worried, to comfort me, I saw him more scared. China coach told another coach, first with my husband, he on the water with me, to comfort me and encourage me. In his persuasion, I calmed down and decided to try it, I get up the courage, together with the dive. Diving, the coach asked us to look at his eyes gesture, don't mess with marine life, because it is very dangerous. We fed fish, see beautiful clown fish, and cartoons in exactly the same, also see toxicity of sea snakes are very powerful, very fun Lion fish, and so on. The coach will not only take pictures for us, but also for those who take photographs of marine life. We finally completed a submarine adventure. Although the price is not cheap, but I still felt quite worthwhile. We go ashore, changed clothes, and then to China coach consulted the seafood place? called? d×talipapa is the Chinese coach told us, otherwise we could not find because he is just in the evening, we find a lap in the morning it was not found. We decided to go back to the hotel changing clothes, good to eat in the evening to get there.

If you want to go diving who, while English and not good, I recommend this Chinese coach-Mr. LI Si-far.

Because native language to explain more clearly, after all risk of diving or exist. Need his mailbox you can find me. There is also a highly recommended reason, Mr. Lee is very enthusiastic about will be happy to help. When diving, Li coach as we carve a diving photos up in our home, because improper transportation was broken. I really feel that these photos are not easy to get, but I finally get up the courage to overcome the fear of water. We can only hold a try mindset to Li SI-Mr emergency, Mr. Lee echoes to us, and let us not to worry, said he was very busy these days, busy across the array, he will put the photo in our mailbox, and said that he would pick out some better Harbour Photo CD back together, his friend to the domestic, and express to us. We received mail is very excited. At present there are full of spoofed social so sincere friends really let's appreciate it. If you are in a foreign country, to find a good credible but he is a fellow you will feel so warm. Here I am again thank Mr. LI Si-far.

In the evening we arrived there, there is very lively, seafood stalls are laid out, we go straight to the lobster booth and ask about 900p one kilogram, bought a only one kilogram of not to point lobster 820p, went and bought two big crabs a catty prawns, immediately to the side of a shop processing, processing fees, a kilogram 100p-130p first seafood stacked and then ask what flavor we eat.

Our lobster on butter, crab with their local practices of burning, sweet chili chili peppers, grilled shrimp just to eat. Thought the Philippines won't have any food that really did not think it tastes good, eat-we repeatedly praised. Probably a good meal is RMB 300 yuan, you want us to eat seafood tongchuan road in Shanghai, a lobster is more than the price. We ate very satisfied with the decision in order to be worthy, air tickets, treat your mouth every day, two days after eating seafood, RMB 1000 Yuan in Shanghai can only eat a good meal.

Through the Terminal, we have received our CMB, approximately 2 hours to the airport, through the security check at the door, go in for boarding pass. Don't know why they should not use advanced technology, we are licensed under a boarding pass at the row of good teams, but their staff in order to receive our ticket confirmations, and then use their imperfect could not understand the language that we name, called to the front collar boarding pass. Foreign men better, our Chinese name in their accent in reading encroachment, we are not afraid of desertion, ears listen. Their efficiency is slow, the door is clearly notice the "domestic routes to 45 minutes earlier than the end of the pilot boarding pass" we get to the boarding pass when offline subscription departure time is only half an hour. Get good boarding pass, we at the edge of the window and paid a fee per person will be 20p security check, enter the airport lounge.

We return to Shanghai flight at 8: 40 am, 5J678 (2040/0005) so we have 7 hours.

So we ordered a taxi, only mallofAsia. We found a car with blue label the car, it is said that this is the meaning of the table. Paid 60p on arrival. We first find the left luggage office, without luggage, you can take a stroll around. The Manila, with the feeling of a big city, there are supermarkets, Department stores, large appliances. This is my hand still 4000p, I'd like to take home and no use, in exchange for u.s. dollars more uneconomical. We found a restaurant for dinner, and then went to the supermarket to buy local product. Here everything is cheaper than many of the island, 7d mango stem 100g60p (Island 75p) 200g107.25p (Island). Then left 3000p, I must keep good return need to pay a departure tax, per person, return 750p taxi fee 100p。 I heard that the Philippines is lee's production, the brand of jeans at home 5 600, here are a few hundred meters, therefore to store around in a circle, I bought a pair of 1000p, look at the money are almost not stroll around, looking for a coffee break, and then call a taxi to go to Manila international airport. The international airport and domestic airport is very close, I want to fare for the same. We get on the train, I found that the driver did not play the table, so I reminded him, that he said don't play table, are 150p. It is a vicious, triples. My husband asked him, why so expensive? we came only 55p, what to pay 150p? he said over the past need to bypass a one-way street. We say no matter how round or 150p], we said it was not much to say 100p. The driver laughing can only give up, but they are so badly zaike drivers. Finally I took out all change on the body, he can only 99p.

Arrival at the airport before we found our flight was delayed, the original 20: 40-off delayed until 22: 15.

We can only stupid waiting at the airport. Finally you can collect your boarding pass, we entered the airport, and paid the tax, 2 personal 1500p, have 400p, we at airport shops eat something that the rest of the money has been used. To the airport lounge, find the flights are all Chinese people, but also heard a cordial Shanghainese. The aircraft took off at 22: 00. Flights do not have full, many people have a row of each person to lie down, huh, huh, cheap air should also have the first class of treatment, it is good. About 3 hours or so the aircraft reached the Pudong International Airport, the aircraft would have a chilling presses. Hurry up with cotton. Luckily, presumably for the sake of it during the Spring Festival, so there are airport bus, we took the bus arrives at the jing'an Temple, saw the trace of Blizzard Entertainment, immediately call a taxi, arrived home.
