Hooray … I arrived in Manilla 21 hours after leaving Brighton.  I felt crap when i arrived in Dubai (which is halfway) for a 3.5 hour plane swap, but luckily I had a few hours sleep on the next leg.  Touched down in Manilla at 11pm and it was 29 degrees.

Drove 2 km to a hotel I had booked and it took about 35 minutes, but it was great …. I love SE Asia ….. there was people everywhere, cramped into jeepnees and other public transport, all cutting each other up and going nowhere.  Along the site of the road were people walking sitting, working, cooking and eating and it was like watching a film.

I got to the hotel at about 1am absolutely knackered and asked for a 7am knock to get back to the airport in order to fly to Siargao and go surfing.
