14 Hours in the Car

Hi Everybody!

Today is another short post because as you can probably guess by the title, the majority of my day was spent sitting in a car. The road trip back to and around Manila was filled with traffic, even though we left earlier in the morning. Coming down the mountain was beautiful and we even saw monkeys on the road! But that’s about the extent of excitement from our day. Once we hit the outskirts we were bumper to bumper all day. And I mean the second worst traffic I’ve ever seen, the only city worse was Dhaka, Bangladesh. Today took us 2 hours to go 5 miles this evening! On a Wednesday! 





We did make a few stops during our day at the dupe market and at the popular Bonificio High Street mall. I was too overwhelmed to shop but it was entertaining to watch everyone else haggle. The best part of the day was when we finally made it back to the hotel at 11 pm and I got to rest in a nice fluffy bed with chocolates! 


Stay tuned for tomorrow, I promise it’ll be more exciting as we’re going to the famous Mall of Asia and Intramuros which is the historical section of Manila.

Lots of Love,

Carolyn
