Trip to Philippines

Finally got to start the day. And past out of travel, this time a little restless heart more and worry that maybe is just occurred Philippines hostage, uneasiness to local law and order, perhaps because you want to take a cheap air small plane do transnational journey. Since early morning flights is less of a quiet, Pudong airport departure duty-free shops close early. The plane is very small, it is hard to imagine this above take more than three hours. Maybe it was a long time on the flight upset, I basically on an airplane is very difficult to sleep, try it. Although aviation is cheap, but the pilot's level is good, much better than China Eastern Airlines, flying very stable, also much weather help. Haha. Manila airport is the most humble of national capital airport, many places not decorated, shops. Airport as a State of the window to see this broken window, you can feel this country also like. Turnaround time waiting still can, 1 hour after flying into a more humble airport--Mint Island Airport. The airport is some years ago of Yichang airport but also humble, aircraft airplane take two steps out of the airport, looked just plane, you really don't. Island attractions tour of long-term Charter price is not expensive, and only 2500 Philippine pesos, roughly equivalent to $ 400, but this car and driver, the need to accompany us probably around 5 hours. In fact, attractions in a go, in which the Baroque Jesuit mission church and eyes monkey is most worth to. Baroque Jesuit mission church is the island's oldest church, is the Philippines second oldest church, the then occupation person established in the Philippines, Spain leave today already have hundreds of years. Long term weathering and wear that makes the church interior walls, dark, dank, feel somewhat sad. It is funny monkey eyes. This is better than the Palm also small Monkey has a long tail. This monkey is a little like koalas, Australia day like drunk, lie on the branches, deeply asleep, and occasionally open our eyes, God looked at you. Eyes quite big, almost half of the total face, at first glance feeling less like Earth's creatures, it is said that this animal is the prototype of Et, looks cute. Haha. Live hotel not too good, but just by the sea, as is comfortable. Here the water is salty, rushed out of the coffee is also a very strong savory, and no way to make coffee mate dissolve, but with pure water to brew. Hotel room, in the middle there is a small swimming pool, next to the door of my room is a large terrace, BBQ or in the evening take a look at sunset, it is very enjoyable. Hotel security was with guns, maybe here and order not too well, but there are reports that, although the Philippines claim to be a window on Asian democracy, but it's the degree of corruption and the degree of polarization is the leader in Asia. To Mint island's main purpose should be said that there are three, one is a look at the dolphins, the second is snorkeling, the third is to see Virgin island. These programs are on the second day. See dolphins need very early departure, about 6 o'clock is on board. We pack a crab boat in narrow boat tied up on both sides of the a model similar to the wings, this is similar to wings of things are primarily intended to maintain the balance. And we set off for many years this travel tourists, many of the crab boat all together to dolphins spotted sea, the sea away from the hotel approximately half an hour trip. See dolphins also need to see their own luck, because Dolphin is taking advantage of the morning sun is not out of time, to the sea for ventilation, turning it over. Seasoned sailor very far to see dolphins, sea crab with Chung. Our luck still can, finally saw some, they are gonggar, slightly to the back or the tail out of the water. Snorkeling is another significant feature here, because there are strange sea cliff. We bring the snorkeling tool, but forgot to bring shoes, here's the fishermen earn 500 Philippine pesos and 2 Philippine pesos as local fishermen give you protection costs because there is no lifeguard here. Seawater is really clear, but there are many sea and the coral reefs, so put on your shoes are a must, even so, my legs seawater being scratched the coral, blood flow, thanks to the vicinity of bloodthirsty animals such as sharks, or also very dangerous. There is a lot of fish, because there are underwater Cliff's sake, water depth from 1 m to a few hundred metres overnight deepens, so here are more of the fish heads, there are larger fish, etc., should be clowns that than I am in the great barrier reef or elsewhere have ever seen a lot more, but you can feed bread, small snacks, fish are intensely Chung over lots, and the scene is also very spectacular. Day trip and a Virgin island is a must to go to the island by sea are special, in need of a sailor in the way ahead, because here the water is shallow, and dissatisfaction with the rocks, even the draught of a discussion of the crab boat nor toes, people must be used through the waterway to wear in the past. Virgin Island beach is very long, very white, because the high tide, the island will be dropped into the sea, shuimanjinshan, but every day at low tide, exposing the long white sand beach. Here tourists is not too little, because here is far away from the main island, and there is no permanent population, even the birds are not many more serenity and harmony. The water time takes about 3 hours or so, because these sailors afternoon go deep sea fishing, until the early morning came back to subsidize home because the Philippines does not practice family planning policy, the home of a child or siblings are many, so home bigger kids need it do a few job to feed the whole family. But God was giving them a lot of wealth, although not large, but rich, fruit, seafood and food, modernization of things, but will not be hungry. The morning ready to check-out, because today is going to Cebu. The second is the Philippines CebuBig city, but also from the Mint Island past needs about 1 hour boat ride. Mint Island to Cebu's boat is more, the basic one in 500 pesos. A bit ahead of us a little to the Terminal, because you also need to Check in, you can find earlier to a better seat. Surprisingly the Philippines to receive departure tax, although the amount is not very high, but it also let people down here. Into the waiting room, there are several similar Red Hat people came, pointed our trolley case, original boat ride this can only be one person carrying a bag, trolley cases is the need for shipping, of course, this also has to be charged an additional fee. Rely on, here is the flower water, just a little bit of water in rivers, narrow point because costs are not very high. Boat feeling can also, speed is fast. There are several ferry companies, there are a variety of boats and catamarans. We chose is called Oceanjet. Hotel leave Cebu Pier about 30 minutes, one on either side of the road feel Cebu is quite old, nor many pedestrians, some feel, although the decline is the second largest city, but I feel it is our second-tier cities or third-tier cities such as. Most of the bus is not Windows, but in fact it cannot be regarded as the bus, can only be regarded as a kind of similar Changhe passenger car. See Manila Hong Kong Police rescue hostages performance can feel, Philippine police usually sure rarely encounter a glass of culprits hijacked the coach car. The hotel is quite good, but a door off the world, the decline of the dogs outside the door and the door of the rich and luxurious formed a strong contrast. Gate security on its guests happy, on entering the hotel must be produced before the check-in hotel reservation form. The hotel was great, has its own beach, three swimming pools, a large number of rooms, several restaurants and a massage Centre. More specifically, this hotel has a small shark pool, pool keeps some small sharks, daily afternoon there feeding performance. We wait for the feeding time, no see feeding performance, estimated to be put up in hotel, but the hotel's Bar then launched a free tasting cocktail of activities, this is also good, better than white, and so better. Haha. The hotel's Beach is also very good, the last day we go here. In the hotel's swimming pool swim swimming or snorkeling at the edge of the beach and the Sun on the beach, very enjoyable, and then in the hotel's restaurant is good to eat a good meal. This massage is very good, is the price yangui, well, out of a total cost, would like to open points. Haha. The Philippines in General is very worthwhile, although aircraft small, others are very good. Overall, the Philippine scenery in East Asia, fairly well, overall consumption level is not high, accommodation, taxis, tickets, etc. than others to buy some, due to the long-term effects of United States persons, locals in English generally okay, even fishermen or the taxi driver can understand what you are saying or land charges more reasonable, especially the inhabitants of the island, some relative or comparison and simple, if you give some additional tips, they will be very happy. Local cuisine is here for everyone to taste. Here's a fresh seafood, and the price is very cheap, just compare the single way of cooking, most are grilled or boiled, if Thailand Curry to do so, some more tasty flavor. Fish and chips are relatively common, taste very good, and the price is very cheap. Imagine, seafood soup + a bottle of beer, ice in some fresh sea breeze on the beach, watching the sunset series, listen to the waves lapping sound of the beach, without worldly things make you upset, it is meet, Ah, maybe heaven was also me...
