Luzon Trip 1.

General 26 July 2010 | 0 Comments

So now im back from what seems to be my last real vacation on the Philippines and like always I will write a little report for every day of my journey. It all started on a Wednesday that Simon and me didnt spent in Manila, but on the airport in Tacloban because thanks to a typhoon our flight was delayed by 5 hours. When we landed in Manila it was already night so we just hopped into a bus to Baguio City where we arrived 6 hours later. Here we stayed at a friends house which reminded me strongly to my home in Germany. Stones in the water, homemade medicine, special food and just the nice tendency to the unusual, it was all there. Also the climate, which is thanks to the high altitude of the city very cold compared to the rest of the Philippines, created that sense of home in me. After a nice breakfast, some small naps and a good lunch we started exploring the city. We enjoyed the cheap taxis, the nice parks with all its pine trees, an SM Mall without air con, new views after every corner, good food and of course the company of our charming guides. A really nice and busy first day, so sleeping time was quite early for me.
