Day 1


Friday the 4th of July

Everyone met at Perth international airport at about eight in the morning ready for the big trip. After the usual preliminaries, we set off for Brunei at 11am, arriving there at 4 in the afternoon. We then had to wait for almost four hours until the connecting flight to Manila was ready to take off. Brunei airport is quite small, so we were all able to explore the shops very quickly. To pass the time, some of us had a meal, some of us tried to sleep, some of us were males and wore a feminine face mask (Chris G), and some of us caught up with a chat.

The flight from Brunei to Manila took about two hours, so after a collecting our luggage, going through customs and changing our currency, it was now getting on towards 11. It was now about fifteen hours since we arrived at Perth airport so we were all very tired. The next thing was we had to get to the KFC hotel near the airport to have a rest. The only thing was, it was not that easy getting there, with the heavy traffic and the cramped conditions in the van ( the van was packed to the max). We only had two hours to rest before we had to leave for the domestic airport in Manila to catch the next flight to Cagayan de Oro.
