WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

We are on the final leg of our own personal world tour - well, I have to go to China for a week on business after this leg,  but Paula heads home when we get back to Hong Kong.

We are in The Philippines.  Arrived last night from Fiji and were whisked through customs formalities like veritable royalty.  One of Kai's (who owns denim Manilla) customers works for airport immigration and we were met off the plane and deposited land side in about 5 minutes flat.  We could get used to that.

We headed into town and had a meet up with a bunch of customers over oysters and steak (I could used to that).  A beautiful and very interesting group of customers, we had a ball.

From there we headed south and arrived at a nice dive lodge at about 02:00 this morning.

I thought I'd be drinking the usual Asian (only difference is the name) lager, but no, things are looking up….

We are now lounging around having had a couple of magnificent dives this morning waiting for beer o'clock….

Excellent intel and pics, G… What beer did you go for?..

[Giles]

Kudeta - what was more, it was free.  The beer was left over from an event last weekend and the needed to shift it because there is another event (and I think new different beers) this weekend.

I helped…..

Was the least you could do.

This trip is seriously going to spoil all future travel for you.

@Matty123:

Spatchcocked a 12lb organic bird.

When I was in my teens, I dreamt of doing that…..

The surreality continues.  As pure chance was having it there was an underwater photographic competition happening whilst we were here:

We are staying at this resort:

Because Kai from Denim Manilla is an old friend of the owner and any friend of Kais is a friend of ours (and he got us a good rate :)).  The judges were staying here.

So we were invited to the awards ceremony last night.  We sat at the sponsors' table and had a brilliant evening of good booze, good food, good entertainment and amazing photographs.

The Minister of Tourism was on the next table and the Governor of this region was a couple of tables away.

You could not script this shit.
