Our trip to the Philippines. Part 1 - Manila


             

During our stay in Manila we joined the 'Walk This Way' tour of Intramuros. Our tour guide, Carlos Celdran, is well known in the Philippines as a tour guide, cultural activist and performing artist. He made the half day walking tour informative, theatrical and hilarious. If you ever get a change to visit Intramuros you have to do this!



We were told this was a big improvement for the electrical wires 
A Filipino dessert made of shredded coconut and jelly - looks strange, tastes good


And of course I made time to make something while we were there!
I put the finishing touches on a little, girly crochet blanket made especially for my newborn niece.



Ta da!
It reminds me of bubblegum ice cream mixed with Nerd's.


Still to come:

    1. I loved it. Summer is my favourite time of year.
      Now that we're back in Sydney my skin is missing the warm, humid weather.
