Manila (again)

This flight takes about 8 hours, leaving around 11pm. Absolutely no need for food, but hey, it’s there (and delicious). Tony decides to eat and drink (heroically) then sleep. Works well. Delicious food and a very restful sleep. Major tragedy in the morning. The delicious scrambled eggs we had on the outwards journey are not available.
In Manila, because we are flying on a different carrier for the Sydney leg (Qantas) we have to enter the Philippines to get our bags. Besides, there is a 8 hour wait for the next flight. Ursula booked us into the Belmont Hotel, accessible along a walkway from the airport. Great idea. We can rest, shower, change, and have a small (totally unnecessary) meal.
Our flight to Sydney is scheduled to leave at about 1030 pm. Easy walk into the airport.Read more
