Manila, Cebu/5 tours (5)-Manila (continued)

December 26, Tuesday sunny

At noon, we asked the driver took us to the Emperor in Manila (Makati) maca in the central business district (CBD) to go to dinner, sightseeing this district because it is the city's most fashionable areas, all kinds of shops, restaurants, bars.

It is said that local most worthy of recommendation is a kind of "seafood with garlic fried rice".

The Maca di area, in order to taste the local seafood at Manila, under the guidance of the driver, we finally found a seafood restaurant.

Seat, we had a twin special packages (grilled fish, seafood with garlic fried rice, meat, vegetables), plus a soup. My partner ate very happy. I caught a cold, taste is not good, I usually wouldn't love to eat seafood and meat, so I feel, and the grilled fish, looks a bit heihuhu, burnt. The meal, we have a total of 529 pesos, plus tips for 50 pesos. After dinner, time for oneself is 1: 40 pm.

After dinner, we in this business area was slightly turn maca emperor for a moment.

Because didn't find special Italian goods, so they decided to abandon the plan here shopping, and mango, or go to Cebu/purchase.

We took a taxi, began the tour, sightseeing in the afternoon.

Because of the opposite Palace today is not open, we decided to move to stroll around Le SA Park (original project from Cebu/return to go).

2: 40 p.m. we arrived at Le SA Park Plaza.

Plaza Central, erected a leading Philippine independence movement of national hero-Rizal's statue. The Park is tranquil, is a good place for people to rest. The many sculptures in the Park are very aura. In addition, there are several different styles of garden are also worth around. But the large number of Christmas decoration, the whole Li SA Park dressed more beautiful! 3: 20 we left the Park of Le Savoie.

This afternoon the last to sightseeing spots is the Manila hotel.

The original plan of Philippine culture, because last night has to go in front, it is not open, plus many others took this morning, so I do not intend to go again.

Manila hotel is the most famous buildings in Manila, the Philippines was ruled by the United States.

It has 80 years of history. It is said that opening day at the hotel door, hung up a lot of United States flag; MacArthur in the hotel, also had a private suite!

Hotels in Manila, we saw the former President of the United States have grown flowers.

Also see the new people in the wedding banquet. The hotel is stylish, gate and the decoration of the Hall, has a very strong Christmas atmosphere. In the lobby, there is a small wedding the best phase, the little girl has a temperament, I attract, sane, lift the camera, took a close-up photo.

Visit out Manila hotels, we're going to catch a plane to Cebu.

Because in this hotel, but didn't see the shadow of our taxi driver, I peer anxious is broken, the fear of missing the machine. He then started seeing, not in a hurry to find in the lobby, finally out of the hotel to take a look at the original driver is waiting for us outside the hotel door!

4 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrive at the airport.

At the airport, 200 rupees/person of airport taxes. As was informed that the Philippines can only carry the Inland machine very small pieces of carry-on baggage and cannot carry cosmetics, chargers, etc., and hands-on, if so, are to be consigned. Therefore, we very carefully press this, didn't make any mistakes, in short all the best.

The Sun from the West direct into the terminal building, the 5 point 20 or so seems to be a good time watching the sunset, but earlier today in order to get to Cebu, we do not see the famous Manila sunset, just in the airport and the plane flies look at Manila.

17: 30 we flight on-time takeoff.

My machine has a beautiful view to the twilight of Manila. 18: 50 aircraft arrived at Cebu airport access point.

Trip to Philippines---Mint/long beach/Dolphin Bay of trip plans (2007.9)

I have come back a week, lazy write travels has not started.

Before you actually go to Malaysia, diving in online for a long time, been long beach of a photo, then attract abandoned plans already forming, drawing board, the achievements of the row. In a Word, without this line, Philippine Sea really let me crazy.

Because of the time, a total of 16 days, we arranged a mint, long beach, dolphins in the Bay area.

Routes chosen from CEBU to MANILA, specifically the trip as follows:

DAY1: September 22, Saturday HK-CEBU-bohol, hostel Mint

DAY2: Sept. 23, Sunday BOHOL Island Tour, hostel Mint

DAY3: 24 September, Monday to see dolphins, balicasag island snorkeling, hostel Mint

DAY13: October 4, Thursday, Dolphin Bay, accommodation Dolphin Bay

DAY14: 5 October, Friday back to Manila

DAY15: October 6, SA Manila

DAY16: October 7, Sunday in Manila – Hong Kong

Facts have proved that this trip too tired, the last few days have no spirit.

If you can, I'll be in mint, long beach to stay a few days, respectively, the Dolphin Bay is not to learn diving courses or deep diving is not recommended.

Traffic: this journey, full of CEBU PACIFIC was selected, i.e. HONG KONG---CEBU aircraft, CEBU---KALIBO (FOR BORACAY), KALIBO---MANILA, MANILA---HONG KONG, total amounting to $ 1300.

Personally think that the international ticket must be bought in advance, I bought 2 months in advance, when airlines has played the latest arrival price, start faster, because he has the airfares is a certain amount. While domestic, if it is not a local holiday, what should be no need to worry, I also checked before leaving, discover price than I bought.

It is worth mentioning that I bought in HONG KONG to CEBU air ticket, is at 0: 50 of the take-off, the airline website superscript 12: 50AM, I did not pay attention, but fortunately discovered, but midnight flight is very hard thing, so my first day basic is wasted, the concrete below.

Another thing is to take the trouble to CEBU PACIFIC's RECEIPT problem, first appears garbled, and later for domestic flights when there is no reply, I sent him a message of Service Center n times, finally received all of the confirmation letter.

This situation in the Shenzhen communication mill and found a lot of people that have experienced for some time. Therefore, we in the booking, should, as far as possible, click on the final confirmation screen when the screen printed, so even if you have not received a reply, don't worry.

Hotel: main reference to Taiwan's backpack Inn hotel evaluation to choose hotel, this is a very good forum, travel to Philippines summarized, gave me a lot of useful information.

In addition to Manila, basically through the hotel's own website.

Although some people say that the Philippines hotel letter seldom, but basically I have received a reply. Reservation site, recommended HOTEL CLUB, AGODA, their price is higher than the previous common ROOM HOTEL TRAVEL, ASIA, etc to cheaper, the efficiency is good. Of course, because the agreement in the hotel, you can see several compare.

Map: data collection, my homework to do the most is the collection of maps.

This journey, there is no get particularly useful map information, but rather my own print-play a key role. General search in GOOGLE inside it, there is the HOTEL TRAVEL hotel map, is also quite useful. CEBU maps recommended MAPTOWN Hall.

Currency: in China the dollar in the past.

I was in the Philippines for a total of three times in the PESO, are the island's airport, mint, and CEBU Tagbiliran urban areas, urban feel airport must be the worst exchange rates, the ISLAND CITY MALL Tagbiliran, and SM CEBU's are good in the exchange rate. Manila is not clear, because later on to Manila time and just dollars to create a new low in PESO, there is no comparable. Basically great Mall has currency exchange point, the point is not to worry, the Bank is not in the Philippines.

(The map on sheet Mint)

I've seen of the Philippines (long beach 5) (a)

Last year, when the 10.1 a zu ma's strongly recommended that, we took her to the company's small team tours, the ultimate destination straight long beach, one of the Philippines in the West Island. (it is said that the world famous beach ranked Center, huh, huh) low season, also is the rainy season, rain, storm risk. in addition to Southeast Asia small States General political instability, of course, also subject to Chinese 60-70 's revolutionary output of those countries quite able to fighting guerrillas, mountain and island terrain, the local government is not over. I am in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Web site, and some relevant international situation at the site, that little woman Arroyo seems to be able to control the situation in the Philippines, (this point than Aquino is strong, he's husband fell ill, she can't, Marcos is a strong man, his wife too will spend less sur. gossip)

Entourage, a man would be a lot of English, but also with the girlfriend experience of travel in Southeast Asia buffet, he naturally became the backbone of the team, some of his experiences and practices are does make me long for a lot of insight on the future of overseas travel quite helpful.

Shanghai to long beach is by plane is not, we are not wealthy, on air fares in some worries that man should know this overseas cheap air excellent travel tools keep (Spring Airlines, we all know, cheap airline, and foreign ratio, eh). We chose the Singapore Tiger aviation from Macau to Manila Clark airport flight, round trip is probably 300HK $ per person, which is equivalent to Shanghai to Zhuhai one-way Spring and at the lowest price, you do not need fuel and construction costs (Chinese when can really enjoy the industrial civilization brings happiness life?)

We chose from Zhuhai walk to Macau for the first time to Zhuhai, eat a lot of seafood, look at the small market on the ground floor of Gongbei, very cheap, Xiangyang road than a big market (pulled) better.

First time going to Macau, Macau across many, very clean, the management and orderly, the Communist Government for Macau fishermen extremely descendants living well they get developed areas of revenue, to eat and drink a bath massage Zhuhai Mistresses (underdeveloped areas of price).

Long Beach 9 water (6)

February 8, 2009

Still a Yin Oh my God! actually got to the last day of vacation! first came to the island holiday for a long time to think, Ah, can whim; to the rear two days began to feel that time as well, that means jiansha blue water and white sand yet close enough, no time, not Ah.

Because the aircraft was a little more, I plan to start before the check-out eleven, so after lie-in, no time to go beyond the white sand beach.

LG as usual or going to the side of the beach running, I would follow, then take a look at the sea.

Although there is no rain today, days but still negative, it is a bit of regret for the past two days the Sun is good no more take some photos (intended to focus until the last two days to shoot, never think of Heaven are not for us).

Because of the holiday village of free shuttle four times a day, we are going to own dragging luggage to go to the main road again to find TUTU to terminals.

Don't want to, check-out, that old MM help us arrange a shuttle bus drive us until Pier, free of charge. Sit in the car is ready to go, the MM also came with 500P, our check-in of the TV remote control pressure gold, we give this to forget. Had to be praise here service, room service for two aunts usually are side humming while working, the smile you won't have to say. Li SI-far said here, even the bad guys are difficult movement bad, feel the same way that does not have the heart to undermine this beautiful atmosphere.

We went to the airport, or more than an hour in advance, only to be told us this flight is full, we wrap to the next, I fainted.

About a half day or all thumbs when it had to accept. In the shop next to the sat and rest, do not buy their stuff no one to catch you, or a little later my LG hungry, go and buy a bowl of noodles, served a term, is the instant noodles, but also with the 150P, however is the hotel of kimchi.

Waiting for the boarding pass in the MM, that is as compensation, presented our two tickets from Manila to Philippine domestic round-trip tickets at any place of the validity period is one year.

This is what we would have had no tangled plans a year and then to the Philippines, to not waste it? now also in kink (tickets can I use).

The Manila airport, from us and from aircraft and four hours, go up the boarding pass, and then to the fourth floor bought point sweet ring and fried chicken with rice, fill the belly was full, the price was cheaper, the taste was bad.

Then in turn out of tax 750P/, see nothing takes place, the peso we on the first day of the Exchange window has the peso exchange for u.s. dollars, the exchange rate is 48.

We carry also took two cartons of milk one drink and some fruit, this wants to be left blank when eaten before, also more than one drink and eat some fruit, holding a try attitude, are all brought into sent, like side of Ann pick not confiscate liquids? anyway we two plane comes with a drink.

Side of the duty-free shop is small, storefront nothing, put a few shelves, perfume, some of the most popular packages also have to look at, lankou two moisturizing Suite price seems to Pudong airport, the CCP Landai ANR eye and facial cream suits converted down to expensive than the Pudong airport-5; However the L'Oreal's eye cream night REVITL three-piece suit is $ 40 or 42, Shanghai to $ 311, men did not sell.

Just remember that all this time. Because the CCP Landai and L'Oreal's come already bought, I still intend to lankou back to buy. The aircraft, and is zero, the journey to a successful conclusion. To the little things in bought on the day. Home!!

This holiday, we are not trying to do, simply press the mood, so I feel very relaxed, (except for the last two days that time has passed so fast that most homes).

In General, although not on this side of the harbour side of colorful Phuket, but the beach is no more than, Oh, the smell of the sea nor the good astringent, Phuket drink too much.

Island skewered I think it's not our domestic delicious.

In the D ' tallipapa to S2 direction near the seaside, a specialized sales are doing little fruit juice beverage, mango shake before 50P a Cup, taste good, content is indeed, basically I to drink every day.

Halo-halo like 70, personal quite xihuanhede.

For hotels, we set from www.agoda.com.

But the feeling is not very satisfactory, to the Philippines felt now find will find very good cheap hotel, cheap than many online dating. It is recommended that'd be the first day of the rest of the hotel, you can find their own.

Reference to eat a lot of seniors experience, but try a lot of companies feel that there is not suitable for yourself.

So for a restaurant to see who my family more will go to the who home, try some local food in the Philippines. However they are mostly sweet side of things

For traffic, many prices in November after yo floating, such as kalibo airport tax has risen from 20 to 40, City-City Tickets are from 40 to 75.

So do budget to consider this point. The second is from Manila to long beach. Cebu is flying to kalibo airport, but to do 2 hours by bus to the terminals, in kalibo airport gate is Cebu free bus, get free tickets to sit on the dock. But back to no, you do only 135 one minibus or car, 1200 to airport. Listen to over security that can do small Mo's 40P to cartican airport, free bus, however no attempt, not sure. Listen to our hotel boss said Cartican airport or open, not only is the Cebu. Trouble's can see other airlines.

You write so much.

Hope you all have help ~ ~

El Nido and Manila-Manila to love nidao El Nido (day2)

The next day early morning, after breakfast, hurry to go to El Nido airport, in Beijing, PAL staff went out of telephones, told to the island by plane in the called Soriano Aviation airports, not in Manila airport for domestic flights Terminal.

Taxi driving to the airport door and gate seems to be a garden or in the Office door, but saw a plane, I thought the taxi driver stopped in the wrong place.

In the left side of the airport entrance, with a big table, this is the security inspection, security officers ask some simple questions, open luggage and bag checks, tethered luggage check, and you'll find inside a small room check in.

Room only one counter and a platform scale, all luggage, including shoulders under to process, people have to weigh, I suspect the air ticket is charged by weight. Registration, the waiter will return ticket and Island hotel confirmation letter at the same time to you, then give you a plastic card is numbered boarding pass, above, registration will resume, because the aircraft was not on the condemnation. Completed check-in, the waiter will take us to the next VIP Terminal. We are located opposite the Amanpulo's VIP room, another one made me long for the luxury private island in the Philippines. In the VIP lounge, ice tea and dessert enjoyment is Molly's favorite.

Aircraft produced by Dornier is Germany 19 seat twin propeller of small aircraft.

10 minutes before the departure of the aircraft, crew, a bit older husband--our captain and a beautiful female pilot--our co-pilot, reached the top of the cockpit, following a machine is to the aircraft's air conditioning. Before boarding the plane, the waiter in the VIP room shows the use of life jackets, and prompts you to go to the toilet because the plane is there a toilet. This flight, there are a couple Japan, couple Italy, a Taiwan people and our families from Beijing.

Aircraft take off on time, this is my first time doing such a small aircraft, only the two rows of 63 seats.

Beijing, Shanghai, travel, B-737 are reluctant to selected, too small to Weifang, sitting on a mountain of regional aircraft, 30-40 people, have found it very small. We sit in the aircraft can be seen from the seat and the pilot's cockpit, a feeling of having air taxi.

Small aircraft to climb to the top flight of the clouds, today's weather is good, very stable flight, except for air conditioning and engine noise, the other is good, from Manila to El Nido airport to 75 minutes, 5: 00 in the morning got up, with the aircraft's thunder, I sleep for a while to get refreshed.

Molly is excited to have her hands in a water bottles and bags play hostess fat foods and beverages of the game, until she fell asleep.

75 minutes later, we went to El Nido's mainland, small plane down.

When the plane, luggage is placed in the position of the aircraft on the head. Molly into the cockpit with the pilots said thank you and goodbye, we are all going out the door on the ramp, the lounge, a band singing songs, they welcome both beckon to Molly. It seems that kids go are welcome.

The lounge is two pavilions, one side is the other side is the Arrival, Departure.

Hotel here and meet us. Today we live in a family, a few other Lagen Island family is in Miniloc Island. The Arrival of the alcove drank some iced lemon tea, our tour guide Grace introduced themselves, said that in the days on the island, there is any issue you can find her at the same time, also describe the various activities on the island. She suggested we go to the caves that afternoon, however, we feel very early this morning, decided in the hotel, and then play in the resort's swimming pool.

Located not far away is a river, from here on a speedboat, go to the sea, the guests were sent to the two larger ships, we are going to Lagen, several of the island's staff and we sit in the same boat.

Grace said to walk 40 minutes to our destination.

Probably this is the legendary Panga boat, hull sides long stand, like crab feet.

Panga boat travels between the Green Island blue calm sea, white bow warped sky high, and the white mast constitute a classic of landscape painting. When the ship to the island, with his back to the Sun, the Sea also turned green and clear, coupled with our boat, like a postcard.

Turn an island, Lagen has gradually rendering in front of us.

El Nido beforehand in the Resorts website to see a lot of times, but the feeling of being there, or exciting. Panga boat is docked in the sea, near the Lagen a speed boat by, ready to put we go ashore. The master with the complexion said goodbye, climbed to pick our white speedboat. Soon, we got to the Lagen resort of terminals. After several days, starting from the terminal or return, speedboats and crab boat shuttle between the conversion.

On the pier, Grace and describes some of her new colleagues to us, describes the pier rental diving equipment shop and once again confirmed that we are participating in the afternoon trip, go to the cave.

We think that today's journey is already a novelty and excited, say Molly also the sleep. So, we decided to stay in the resort, bed rest, play in the swimming pool. GrAce tell our luggage will be directly sent to the room, just go to Check-in. Walk along the pier, first passing the water villas, water is blue and clear thoroughly bathed in red, like a painting. Because there are children, we can only live in the enchanting villa on the island. Walk on the island, guests, sea breeze, sea water and leaves rustle, interweaving, roadside gardener in a friendly way to greet us, passing the island cottages bar, turn to the left, is facing the sea of swimming pool, the swimming pool above Check-in Club.

Just go from cottages to himself, he heard guitar, tambourine and sand-hammer music sound, fast to Check-in Club, the hotel's staff there singing songs of welcome.

We are leading the top of the stairs, lobby the Central is a line of White Corner sofas, sit down after the children, soon someone we sent fresh lemon juice. The hotel's welcoming team while singing and dancing, he sent Check-in to simple fill some of the content, check the word. Dance is over, Molly clapped hard, and I hope they give it again. Hotel duty manager who introduce themselves and briefly describes the hotel facilities, reception of a young man, he took the keys and are ready to take us back to the room. At this point, there are a number of new guests arrive, the service staff were also singing, so we sit there and listen to it again welcome song. In the days of Lagen, as long as you can hear the enthusiasm of songs, knew new guests.

Front man skin is white, not like the local people's skin black, English is also very clear that he said from Manila working here, once a week back to Manila.

Along the path to our room, a two-storey townhouse villas Villa, on the first floor, there is a small yard, a bar and a swimming pool, from where it can enter the room. Room was very comfortable, a large bed with a small bed, each trip is with us in the same bed King Size bed. Molly this time to sleep! toilet design, but also very comfortable, very spacious shower place. Our luggage was already in the room, simply wash after that, we began the siesta, all the way down is very tired of it.

Wake up is faster at dusk, quickly changed her swimsuit, go to the swimming pool playing with water.

The hotel is equipped with children's life jackets and learn how to swim with the water board. In Golden Sun, swimming in the water, surrounded by white chaise, has been the sun bath tourists filled up. Swimming pool facing the sea side with a row of coconut trees, the evening sunlight coming through the coconut dipped in warm, dry, in the River bar and order a glass of fresh juice or Mango Shake, just too. Molly take a dip in the pool swimming with her mother, her guts are small, sometimes screaming little called, her laughter in the swimming pool and resort, carefree and unscrupulous, our holiday really happy is what Molly happy laughter, gave us a tour of the wonderful episode – a little girl from Beijing.

The Sun gradually descended, the resort's staff at the pool side tension of busy, they lay out a poolside dinner.

Dining table along the swimming pool surrounded by displacing, White tablecloths, dark wooden chairs and bamboo chair look natural, and the surrounding environment is very harmonious. We have a close to the sea side of it, you can see the sea, you can see the performance.

Today is the birthday of Molly, to prior to the booked with the hotel a birthday cake, the answer is no problem.

So at the point of the meal, they spoke with the waiter. He asked is not immediately, or you can wait. Now that is good, we will ask for a first on a birthday cake. The waiter told us that the cake is chocolate, only with a candle.

Sit down, it was already completely black.

With poolside light and candles, dinner dishes together with her, on the night of the 1400 's blowing, swimming pools, two children also playing with water. At this point, the evening of the Philippines national songs and dances. Molly is most like to see a variety of performances, she kicked. After several presentations, performances, swimming pool edge temporary of stage lighting gradually press down. Then, from the other end of a swimming pool, the band played the music, the singers sang the birthday song, Grace and a restaurant waiter with a birthday cake, a candle has been lit, everyone dressed in traditional clothing of the Philippines, is coming to us. All the guests were the happy atmosphere of the infection, followed by clapping, together in singing happy birthday song. Molly is very happy, she is the star of the evening was unexpected!, in fact, we look forward to a delicious cake. But from Lagen birthday wishes, but give my family brought great happiness and satisfaction.

When a girl than Molly said "happy birthday!".

In El Nido, heard the familiar sound, it is too warm. "You have a question to ask her?" girl's dad swears by Molly said, "certainly is in Beijing to the little girl, swimming in the I heard it. "Girl's father added. In fact, they are from Beijing here on vacation, the island has spent several days. They live in the face of the swimming pool of sea view room, hear Molly in the water and play sound, the girl's father and his daughter bet that the child must also be from Beijing. Indeed, in the only dozens of guests of the island, having come from the same city friends, it can be considered another surprise.

At this point, the light and bright, dance and song at the end, here are some activities with the visitors of the game.

The band members to please the audienceJoin their dancing performance, followed by a dancing competition, along with the music rhythm acceleration, action become more complex, and finally, some participants begin at the foot of the confusion. Finally, the two Korea girl PK champion, I doubt that they are not the previous practice, the rhythm master very well, finally, a little younger girls won the first place. We always encourage small Molly to experience the dancing, but she really is some timid, does not dare to stage.

Game over, Grace with us confirmed a second-day itineraries and active content, there will be room to rest, head just affix pillows, people had to sleep.

I think he is back to Cebu price received money, so we only speak with him to the BOGU, he also lost P30 to me. With his theory, he should say to the BOGU is P50/person, before we got it wrong. Fight in the car, we have N long perseverance to quarrel with him, he is very reluctant to change us, but eventually took P50/three. Summary of the lesson is: who must alternate various denominations of coins against each other to collect the money does not change.
