Having discovered the power of Grab we decide to take one to the airport rather than book one through the accommodation: half the price, very good cars and drivers, prompt and polite.
We have our muesli, fruit and yoghurt on our balcony and enjoy a nutritious breakfast.
We have plenty of time and so we book our Grab at leisure; it arrives 10 minutes later (or less!) and off we go to the airport which is close by Alona Beach which we visited yesterday.
It is a long wait at the airport - two lots of security; we enjoy a coffee; plane arrives late; the airline attempts to restore some order to the take-on luggage rules by announcing people with over 7 kg will be charged excess which prompts a long queue of people handing over their suitcases at the gate.
There are a group of musicians at the gate looking to earn some money.
Plane leaves 40 mins late. It’s a dog’s breakfast the pick-up at the airport in Manila (organised through Kathryn’s office). Grab might have been a better way to go as we are directed (via messages from Kathryn that were meant to go to MF!) to Wendy’s then it was Burger King (did I say a dog’s breakfast???) … and the security into our village of Bel-Air was somewhat over-exuberant - we are directed from one gate to another, then they want a contact number to call Kathryn or Regis.
Anyway, we are finally in - girls are not home from school yet but are apparently due soon.
