Fantastic, Nige---everything looks amazing. Does Lucy's parents' shop stock Beau Peep books?

Awsome shots Nige - from the city to the country - it all looks so exotic.

Great photos, Nige.  Had a quick peep - will spend more time perusing later.

Hmm - they're all right, I suppose. I have a couple of snaps of our day trip to Llandudno if anyone's interested?
I apologise, in advance.

Lovely. It all looks like downtown Brisbane. Except for the Sampans.



That's globalization for ya.

I like Llandudno. A very elegant town, and (unusually for a British seaside resort these days), quite smart.

We've headed south from Manila now and are staying tonight in Tagaytay, which has commanding views over Lake Taal and the Taal Volcano. It's amazing looking down onto a volcano. I drove part of the way here. I was feeling very brave!

Incidentally, the volcano has just been raised to level 2 alert, and local inhabitants have recently been moved from the island. I'll probably have a few San Miguels tonight to help me sleep soundly...

I like this photo, and how it seems as though the bottom right corner is folded over:

That would have been the front of the boat.

We've since headed north on Palawan to a place called El Nido. It's quite stunning, but arduous to get to.

I was delighted to find that I'd inadvertently tracked down Roger Kettle's long-lost twin brother, who proudly declared he was born in 1925!

Not the one in the trendy red shirt and stylish headband, that's for sure. Boy, were you shown up, Peepsie!

I enjoyed looking at the pictures, and I liked Lucy's handbag.

 Just a couple of things about the buddy-pic:

1. In the photo of Nigel with the elderly gentleman, it looks like Nigel's head has been stuck on someone else's body, or else another man's head has been stuck on Nigel's body.

2. I am almost afraid to ask this, but what is written on Nigel's t-shirt?

Feather, whatever it is you think you can see, that's what it is!

But don't get blown away by it.
