250 motes |
So after the months of planning and multiple goodbye parties and drinks, we have finally set off on our adventure.
It was a bit of a squeeze getting all of our personal things alongside the project's equipment into two backpacks. This finally achieved, and us transformed into turtles, we headed off to Heathrow for our 14.5 hours direct flight to Manila with Philippine Airlines.
Last British sunset |
The journey and all our connections went off without a hitch, and soon everyone was saying 'Mabuhay' to the Philippines.
So to the sound of the Filipino alarm clock (noisy cockerels which are ubiquitous across the country), we have woken up to our first morning in the Philippines.
So excited to follow your journey! I love you both xxx

ReplyDeleteAw so you've had an easy ride so far? I am glad and so excited for you! Love you lots and miss you both already xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Things are going well in Manila and we are set to leave to the rural north tomorrow morning. Hopefully we can keep everything well updated even in the rainforest. Had a massage today - Wallace said it's something he wants to 'include in his life' so it's not all hardwork :)
ReplyDeleteLove to you all
Wonderful to read your blog and adventures. How did the massage compare to the Thai ones? Have a fantastic time. Look forward to hearing more xxxxx
