Mt. Manabu... the itch, dead nails and Bulalo

The plan to climb Mt. Manabu was hatched buy a loveless Happy Camper. She was bored to death by the loooong Holiday and managed to convinced some of us that the best way to scratch the itch is to climb. Mt. Manabu is perfect considering it's proximity to Manila and the ease of the trail. It only took us just over an hour to reach the peak and met some young Filipino-Chinese friends. Now we are assured of "tikoy" and "hopia" come January 26.



We did not stay long at the summit because there's not much to do. After we ate our lunch and some pole dancing, we are on our way back.



The climb did not take away Marge's itch, we took turns scratching her back 'til a tattoo rises from her butt.


Descending is quite easy... not for Sophie's nails though. Well, she's a Queen, and queens should have dead nails.



A Bulalo meal is how we end our day. I am surprised to see young, slim and pretty ladies devour the meat. I hope they don't eat raw as they claim... Happy Campers in Manabu!
