Day 4 - 10/04/2018 - Batangas to Batanagas

Today was our last morning with Sams aunty before heading to a beach resort in another part of Batangas.


Sitting in the tricycle




Driving in the Philippines is not a relaxing experience, cars, tricycles, motorbikes, trucks and people weave in and out of each other both on the wrong side of the road and also along the side of the road where you would park your car not drive!!! As much as I wished I could close my eyes and not see it all I couldn't help myself so after a 2 hour drive that had my stomach up in my throat we finally arrived and it felt good to put my feet on solid ground. The views made me feel much better :)

 The views are spectacular as we are high up on the hill which means the walk to the beach is steep so the kids decided they wanted to swim in the pool this afternoon.




The maids who will cook for us for the next 3 nights. The food was delicious.

The markets outside of our hotel were busy this morning. We visited the War remnants museum, I didn't take many photos, there are many graphic images in this museum showing the horrors faced during and in the aftermath of war and it really wasn't that long ago, with side effects from the war impacting people younger than myself. A very heart wrenching place. This is an actual childrens book to give children an understanding of what they should do if they come across a bomb We had just enough time for a brief visit to the palace. Down in the bunker Snacks for the flight. Then it was time for our flight to Manila, the boys had exit row seats, plenty of room for I...
