This post is part of the Bites of Asia series – a set of posts I wrote in December 2008 before we left for 27 days of exploring the Philippines, Macau, and Hong Kong. If you’d like updates of our trip as it happens in real time, subscribe to my Twitter feed or better yet, follow me on Twitter.
Since I left Manila as a 4-year-old, I haven’t been back much. The last visit before this one was when I was eight, and the highlight of that trip for me was Pagsanjan Falls.
This is where I hope we are headed to today.
I was surprised that my husband recognized the name when I suggested Pagsanjan. Apparently, this was where the river scenes of Apocalypse Now were filmed. Can you see the similarity between art and life?
I’ll try to obtain photos of this beautiful landscape, but with my SLR packed away from all that nasty water, you may have to accept humble images from my point-and-shoot. That is, if it survives the pressure of passing through a massive waterfall and all the splashing it’ll see as we descend the rapids…
