Manilla, Jan 2012

What better to do than go away for a break when you are on a permanent working holiday, and the moment came in Jan 2012 for a quick trip to Manilla and onto HK for David and Michelle's joint 50th Birthday

Apart from getting 2nd degree burns to my legs it was a great day.....still got the scars....on my legs ....to prove it. Manilla itself was just like any other city in Asia, busy smog filled, lots of bodies, humid..
