The story so far, after a couple of uneventful Emirates flights we arrive in Manilla. Taxi pickup worked perfect then almost three hours later we were dumped on a beach and met by some young folk in a boat, they made off with our baggage so we decided to follow. After 5 minutes at sea. We round the headland and there it is, home for the next couple of weeks. 

Check in and briefings completed we order dinner, unpack our bags, eat dinner and now it is time to collapse.

I think there may be another two people on the boat tomorrow, busy!

It’s 33 degrees, dry with clear skies. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
