Smashing photos on BOTH pages, Graham ... and a marvellous running commentary to accompany them. Great too, that you were able to spend quality time with Mercedes' relatives in the course of your travels.
Thanks for sharing these experiences and back to Blighty.

Time for a a few hours at the local beach (San Fabian, Pangasinan), with family members.
M's brother (Paulie) was to be our transport, as usual. His kids wanted to come along, plus one or two nieces. I think there were about 8 of us on the trike in the end, plus bags so we were a cosy little party on what was probably a 20 mile round trip, as the 'short-cut' bridge was closed for repairs.
We had pre-booked a beach cottage (which they rather amusingly, but accurately call 'SHEDS' ). Naturally the fee included the obligatory KARAOKE machine.
I have withheld all videos of myself singing, in the interests of good taste, but I'll post again the one of Mercedes and her sweet warblings.

Nice pictures
Just got back from a few days holiday in Ilocos. We made a quick detour to meet a client in Baguio yesterday morning and it was a right pea-souper!

Ah yes...we decided to have another day out. This time to '100 Islands'...another bus riding adventure.
Again, the bus conviently passed through near the end of our road, and the trip cost peanuts, so why not have a nice cheap day out (to Alaminos).

100 Islands ! Shame the trike driver took us on a world tour which ended up at this mucky little beach.
Nevermind...back to a nice Carendaria for some tasty local food, and then a pleasant ride home.

On the way home....lots of clean-looking rivers and fish farms:

Great pics Graham - I like shots of the unspoilt "local" beach at San Fabian, Pangasinan. What a contrast to spoilt, overhyped and overpriced Boracay

I have no desire whatsoever to go to Boracay. Blinkin tourists.

After spending a very pleasant 15 days in M's home town, it was time to have a change of scene, We left the stuff we'd bought for the apartment for the family, and decided to have a few days at Subic, just relaxing and sunning ourselves on the beach, amazing the crowds at the Karaoke bar, etc.
It came as a shock to the system having to pay for a hotel again, but the room was rather nice, and literally 10 yards back from the beach.
Here's a 'bed picture' for Steve W.
Warning...be careful which beans you chuck down the bath plug hole.

The Photo's get better Graham. With ref to the amount of people that ride pedicabs (tricycles) reminds me of one route they run in Dumaguete, including driver thirteen people two 1cwt sacks of rice and a pig, all in one journey the reason being is because it's a difficult route and takes a long time so the driver won't set off until he is really full, the bike is only 125cc!

No mate, to be honest I have friends in York who've had them for years...from back in the days when I had my own boat and used to go water ski-ing, so I've been on them before. I just wasn't prepared to pay the silly prices being asked at Subic. I let my son have a ride on one when we were in Subic back in 2007 though.
