Tue 2 - Sydney-Manilla

 Now - being a bit of an organising freak and of course seeking the best value (aka cheapest) airfares I (retrospectively quite unwisely) selected Philippine Airlines for our journey.  And with this salubrious airfare came a slightly convoluted journey to Japan (aka overnighter in Manilla).

So - our trip began Monday with a 3hr drive to Timmy's followed by a very nice Vietnamese dinner, followed by a chauffeur-driven, navigationally challenged trip to the airport. Tight lipped and silent for a good 15 minutes 😝🤣😧😝.  Called Tim a poo poo head and he called me a shocking navigator.  Angst released - all good.   But seriously - thanks Timotei - it was scenic 😀

Clearing customs, checking in, scooting around the airport was all blah blah blah.  Flight was long and a bit blah.  Think I've turned into a massive plane snob - too accustomed to business class after my last trip. Sniff, sniff.  Watched the movie Maria - Angelina Jolie is just fabulous.  

Here's some snaps from our overnighter.....

Whizzing around to and near the hotel


Exploring the ENORMOUS Landmark Shopping Centre and grabbing a bit to eat...


Then it was back to the hotel for a quick kip before the 4.5hr flight to Haneda.
