It Was Getting Near Midnight,

and we were still going strong! we wandered into this bar, whose name I have forgotten, only to have quicksilver feet Joe show us his skills on the dance floor, the band was excellent, just wish I could remember the name of the bar,

next up for a few vodka soda's Blueberry Hill, by now the alcohol had started to take effect,

Joe was every ones friend, but these two did not want to talk! well this one was fast asleep,

getting ready for the next morning it was down town to the money exchange,

then to the Swiss House for breakfast,

Diana wanted a few things from the corner shop, that really is on the corner,

that day there was a fight on TV, so every time we went past a bar with a TV set outside and in was packed with eager viewers,

we then decided to head back out the the mall just to have a wander around,

inside there was a carousal for the kids, but Diana did not want to go on it,

in the evening we called back to Tequila Reef for our evening meal,

that shark must have been doing some speed when it hit the wall!

Diana had a huge strawberry margarita,

Glen and Joe waiting for the meal,

and it arrived, I am not into Mexican food, but it was pronounced first rate by Joe and Glen,

Diana had a sizzling hot sisig with rice,

the waitresses were very attentive,

then more bar hopping,

we went to the Blue Nile bar, again we have stayed there before but it also was fully booked when we tried to book it before we arrived,

so after a few in there,

it was on to Fantasy,

we just could not walk past the Dirty Duck with out having a look,

or Ziggy's,

by the time we reached Gecko's I needed some support,

heaven knows how we arrived at Valhalla's,

Diana then saw a food cart, it was selling a Philippine national dish, a duck egg which is nearly developed called a balut,

from the outside they look quiet OK, but wait till we get back to the hotel!

having seen the inside of a balut egg before we decided to have a quick drink in the Road House,

then Diana fell in love with this car, for the rest of the trip every time we went past it Diana kept saying how much she wanted one, luckily she can not drive, so that's all right then!

back to the balut, it was food time!

basically the egg is 16 days into incubation it is then boiled and eaten, I am told it is delicious, but the sight of looking at a baby duck just puts me off the whole thing, if you want some fowl facts look here,

next morning we went to Roy's for breakfast,

a nice homely place with lots of English goodies for sale, pies, puddings, Yorkshire pudding mixture and lots more besides,

Diana had a chili burger roll, I had a beef stew, the food and decor was for me was nice reminder of the UK,

Joe's shoes were a bit dirty so a shoe shine boy was doing his best to make them as good as new, then our travels continue on the next blog!
