enjoy philippines bro. half my family is from their
Just read up on your north island trip and you did pretty much the same as us but the opposite way round, we also went to New Plymouth and Raglan, we also went right up north to cape Reinga and 90 mile beach, never noticed whether you did?
Did you go to Cathedral cove and hot water beach whilst you were on the coromandel peninsula? We also went to Tauranga, but stayed at Papamoa beach resort, we saw a shark in the sea there too, apparently, it's there every year!
We loved it in North island, so much so that we've already booked to go again in January, can't wait!
Great stuff Phate, really looks like an awesome trip!
Where about a are you going in the Philippines?
Interesting choice with Subic Bay. Any particular reason to go there? AFAIK it's on the map because its a big tax free shopping place.
