Drop everything and do an unexpected almost 12hr road trip.

Have you ever done a “Drop everything and do an unexpected almost 12hr road trip”?

We did. Last Wednesday. Crazy, tiring but fun nonetheless.

Weird Weather

We have been having weird weather these past few days. The other day we had a deluge and it was a terrible time to be on the road. We’ve seen a few cars stopping or stalled because there visibility was next to nothing.

Zero visibility half an hour ago and now sunshine is back. Summer weather.

The husband and I joked that good thing we didn’t have the car washed yet at the nearby car wash place that uses air compressors. Sometimes, there’s that after car wash rains that happen 😀

I got soaked when I got out to open the gate so we can come in our garage.

After an hour and a half, it’s like nothing happened, the sun went shining full blast. Argh.

I really, really thought PED XING is a Chinese name and not something that means “Pedestrian Crossing”.

This street scene is along Roxas Blvd in Manila, where the famous Manila Bay sunset can be seen on a day to day basis (except during rainy days of course, har).

Many posh hotels can be found along this strip where people can stay for a few days of R & R. Some indulge in gastronomic adventures while others shop for alec bradleys, designer bags and shoes or cheap thrills at Chinatown.

We love being on this strip except when there is heavy traffic.
