Hi everyone,The photos we have posted are when we went out for day to Chocolate Hills,Sagbayan Peak lookout and Butterfly farm,Tazier monkeys,loboc River cruise and Prony the Python which weighs 250kl and 23 feet long and that was recorded in 2005 so its even bigger now, in 5 years it will beat the record.They feed it a whole live pig once a month.
It was a wet day with the heaviest rain we have ever seen.It took the whole day to see everything,but we had a ball.The Driver charged us 3500 pisos which works out to be 90-100 aus dollars.
Overall we are having fun,Staying with the locals is an eye opener the men pee on the streets and there is poverty everywhere you look,we have cold showers everyday and the food has been hard for all of us.The closest we get to home food is pizza hut in Tagbalaran bout 20min from where we are staying they have reserved a permanent table for us,even there Mc Donalds is different.We have all had belly probs and sinus from the pollution.We have checked into a resort for a couple of days called Bohol Beach club resort.The resorts are spectacular with white powder sands and mango crushes and pools all around us.(show yas tomorrow)
We have posted lots more photos you might have to go through a couple of pages to see them all and i will be posting more tomorrow.Hope everyone is going well and you all better be missing us just like we are with you.So any comments we will reply to tomorrow.
Oorrooooo Aussie ones xoxoxo

Day 2 Manila
Started the day with a 5 star breaky in the hotel which had everything you could think of.After that we headed to Glorietta Mall for some shopping.The Mall is huge(leaves westfields for dead) you cant see it all in the 1 day.We met up with Ireenes friend Aida and from there we all jumped in a cab and headed to Mega Mall.On the way we were stopped at traffic lights and there was some kids coming up to our window just staring in the window with there sad faces.We had to lock the doors it was very hard to see(theres a vid of it i posted to check it out)
Once we got to Mega Mall we all went crazy with the bargains bought things like aftershave,shorts shirts even shanes contact lenses.Had lunch at the sugar house and had a coffee at Gloria Jeans and the kids had a go on the iceskating ring in the middle of the mall(got some footage of that too)
After all that we came back to the motel for a swim they have 3 pools a huge gym and day spa.
For dinner we went to a place down the road called Maxs which everyone found it very hard to find something on the menu to eat but we gave it a go and was disapointed even the club sandwiches were hard to tell what was on them.
Overall it was a good day the weather was a little warmer then the day before. but the traffic is our highlight so far its amazing how it works.Something out of this world.Catch yas tomoz.missin u all.

DAY 1 SATURDAY 3RD JAN
Hello everyone.We have arrived in Manila.Its been a long day the flight was 8hours.
The bus ride to the motel was hair raising we laughed the whole way,its deff a third world country here.Where we are staying at Dusit Thani hotel in Makati is 20min from the airport its a 5 star and we love it and its huge.every door gets opened for us everywhere in the hotel,infact everywhere you go in manila a door gets opened for you.Shane thinks hes a star.
After we arrived and settled in we went for dinner at the spagetti bowl,loved it and it only cost $50 for all 8 of us.From there we walked around Makati city,stopped at Gloria Jeans and finished up for the day.Check out the video of the Jeepneys in Manila and some pics from the day.oorrooooooo
