Manila to Zambales Philippines

Today we head north out of Manila to the province of Zambales. We’re going to visit Patty’s home town, Maloma and we’ll be staying at the Victoria Cole Beach Resort in Laoag, Cabangan, Zambales, Philippines. The next day will be big celebration with the whole extended family in Maloma which I was looking forward to.

Fernando from Van’s Unlimited met us early outside the appartment in Rizal Avenue, Manila ready for the trip.

Life living on the streets in Manila, Philippines
Manila’s homeless really live on the street cooking and all. It’s quite sad to see so many of them.

Driving in Manila is a challenge and quite different from how we tend to drive in Australia as you can see by this short video. Somehow it just works over there.
