Day 740 - Back to dodgy Dau

With our flight to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, we decided we'd better sleep closer to the airport rather than risk missing our flight. So, we headed back to Dau, where we spent our first night in the Philippines almost 2 weeks ago. In a country that boasts 7,107 islands, its funny to think we only saw 1!!

As we got on the bus all passengers were given a free English Newspaper - it was so cool to see everyone reading - with a 99% English literacy rate here it's not unusual to see people reading in English. As an illustration of the panic H1N1 flu has created in the world, The front page was devoted to the disease - something else to bear in mind as we continue our travels.

On the bus we were treated to a Hollywood movie (the first we've seen in months!!) and then as we are now back in a town that rents rooms by the hour spent the next 5 hours with our bags in order to get a cheaper rate!! All we did was go between fast food outlets and browse the supermarket!

We tried to find a public phone that makes international phonecalls to wish Dee Dee a happy birthday, but there are none at all!!! Sorry Dee, we were thinking of you - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We'll celebrate it in a month!

Adlibing a room by the hour.
