NP: Module vs Sidhe Interactive - The Amethyst Caverns
Mood: Drowsy
Rising above Metro-Manila just 16 km to the east in the province of Rizal, San Mateo was to be my first stop in the Philippines. It took about 1,5 hours of driving from the airport, despite the light traffic, to get to where I was going: visiting my fiance's parents and family.
The roads were in decent condition all apart from the very last bit of difficult road, but bravely the driver took us to the very end of the path. Carved out of the jungle at the mountains was a set of local houses made of concrete, wood and/or thin metal sheets.
The family and the food (except for Chicharons) was very nice. But I was jetlagged, tired and sweaty throughout the visit, sleeping a lot and doing little else. And it was raining hard when I was awake. The neighbouring kids seemed interested in the burly white guy they saw through the open door and kept waving and smiling at me. Also the rain provided them with some nice playtime, running around on the yard.
After a day of living with the locals, we moved on to Makati city within the Metro-Manila area. The beginning of the trip turned out to be somewhat frustrating...
