In the Philippines





We took holiday in Cebu, Philippines to avoid the Chinese New Year madness of Shenzhen. It was been a fine break with Eileen spending most of the time recovering from her terrible sinus infection & me getting sun burned to a crisp. I like my meat well done thank you. We took the ultra red eye flight out here as it was the only direct one available & checked into our very out of the way resort called Costabella Resort. To get here you drive about 20 minutes from the airport & see how most people live in the area & it is sobering. Our 1st room was not the best w/ ants hiking around the place & the toilet backing up. Also, it was missing some simple amenities so the management up graded us w/o cost when I brought it up to their attention. We took two trips out of our "compound" & realized, again, how spoiled we are. So tomorrow it is back to China & grind out the work & smog of the area. Oh, that last photo is NOT the plane on fire but the air conditioning prior to take off.
