Sun 28th Dec
To avoid getting caught up in yet another traffic snarl up as experienced yesterday we departed at the ridiculously early time of 6am for my familial hometown. Well away from the cool uplands and definitely way, way hotter. We are definitely in the tropics here.
Right now it's just gone 10.30pm and the noise of cicada is all I can hear.... and a remix of 'Bang Bang' featuring Jessie J, Arianna Grande and Nicki Minaj. There's a festive party of some description in the next village, the DJ's speakers are turned up and they are going for it!
It's been a good opportunity to just chill out today, have a laugh with my cousins, eat 'palabok' and get myself a home pedicure complete with nail polish for the princely sum of 90p. Mat got a full shave to remove his beard for about 50p. Amazing! We are Manila bound tomorrow where I suspect prices are not going to be as favourable.
