we had a few more bits and pieces to pick up,
unlike yesterday not many customers today,
I made my way past the new wing,
and across the road, still for some reason heavy with traffic going towards Sumkiviatt,
I was going to the Kodak shop to pick up the pictured we were having printed there,
then back to Friendship to meet up with Diana,
a stop for a couple of iced drinks,
and home we went to put our glad rags on as we were out for a meal to Cherry's,
Mr. Tony kindly picked us up and joined us for the meal,
first course,
then second course,
and on to our main course and then desserts, I did not take any pictures of the food as when we arrived the place was packed with customers,
a couple of things have changed firstly they now advertise cocktails so I had a rum based one instead of a coffee, also the Wednesday and Saturday International buffet has risen in price to 450 baht, which is still excellent value for money especially considering the huge range of food on offer, if you fancy calling in the restaurant is located on Third Road opposite what was once the X-Cite disco, Mr. Tony kindly dropped us off at home, it was then for us a couple of Judge Judy, just a small thing, the latest on the Philippines saga, you may remember that today Diana's family were going to call in for the next refund of the money that the travel agent stole from us, well there was no money and the family were basically told not to call back, note to self and everyone else, do not do business in the Philippines unless you know who you are dealing with! so that was that and with that we were then off to bed.
Hi Stan, is it only me who thought there is no way that you would ever get any money back? I still wonder why you got a little bit at all. So if you start some legal actions with the help of a lawyer, your expenses will most likely exceed the amount that you would get out of those cheaters and the bad thing is THEY also know that. Don't let that spoil the overall experience of your wedding, where there is much light, there must be some shadow too. Greetings from Karl an Mary Ann
ReplyDeleteDear Karl and Mary Ann, I also thought that we would not receive a peso, so we were lucky with getting back about 12%, but we have been told to call back next friday, if no money is forthcoming I will be writing to a few people in the Philippines, like the ministry of tourism explaining what happened and giving them the agents address, I doubt anything will come of it but for the price of a stamp I figure if enough people complain it might help, but the good news is that it did not affect our big day, we all had a great time, best regards, Stan and Diana.
