• Side Quest: back to Manila, back to van

    October 8, 2025 on the Philippines ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    And back to Manila. I got a bit paranoid because the on hotel guy mentioned that the small island planes can often get delayed because of weather so booked a night early out of Coron and 2 nights in Manila. It was smart but not much to do in Manila. Ranier was not a big fan of anything downtown. We hung around the hotel strip, there was a lot of restaurants, shops, mall, casino here. And I hung out at the rooftop pool/bar some. But basically killing time. I miss the island

    I learned a lot on this trip, about Philippines and myself. So glad I took that leap of faith and went for it!!

    And now I at the airport dome catching you up and ready to go home… to my van in Seattle… and the adventure continues

    End of side quest 😊
