The last good-bye to
Manila
After
coming back from Palawan we spent two final days in Manila the ugly,
we happily said good-bye to it for the last time from the deck of the
ferry that would take us to Cebu. Despite having spent our time in
the city in extremely comfortable conditions, Manila rapidly climbed
up to the top of my ranking of “The Ugliest cities in the world”.
Manila, we are definitely not going to miss you, you are the ugliest
thing in this stunning country.
It
took the ferry 24hs of navigating calm waters to reach Cebu, where we
hastily moved from one pier to another to connect with a speedboat
that took us to the fishing village of Tubigon in the small island of
Bohol. Unfortunately, after all this time of traveling in the
country, I dropped my guard due to the wonderful affection of the
Filipinos, and at a time of carelessness in the speedboat, somebody
dug into my handlebar pannier and took the equivalent to 300 usd that
I had stored there for an important expense we had to cover to leave the country. A
bad experience that showed me that no matter how wonderful people
are, there are always some who are there to ruin the party and we
always have to keep and eye on our belongings
We
went to Bohol to see a tiny wonderful creature that I had long been
yearning to see since I had watched it on TV for the first time more
than a decade ago. The tarsier.
