Day 2 - 8/04/2018 - Manila and the Christening


Not the best pick for the first hotel of our stay, at the Sofitel Manila. The one positive was the view of Manila Bay and the swimming pool which the kids enjoyed.

Crazy people in the elevator!!

Then it was time for the christening of baby Andhra, both Malayah and Isaac are godparents.
