Tikhtak: Manila day 2

Manila day 2

Today we have spent getting to know the city. This morning we were taken to the Bam Bam bridge to catch a ferry that took us up the river Pasig all the way into the city. It was a great way to get to know Manila, not just because we were seeing the contrast of business offices and shanty towns but by the welcome we were getting from everybody waving to us from the river bank and the river. It was also good to visit the Spanish quartre, which is the old walled part of the city. Lendl our guide and jigsaw worker explained all the history to us. We also had time to see the bay of Manila where our camera attracted a lot of attention! Mind you Tim Dendy did look magnificent as he filmed out to sea .This is a quick fire entry but to see more of what we got up to today have a look at our flickr pics. Tomorrow we will spend the day at Jigsaw.
