MANILA continued:
After lunch the ship's coach tour, along with a very informative guide, took us through crowded streets, with all kinds of shops and dwellings and onto the American Memorial Cemetery which was very moving with immaculate grassy slopes adorned with over 17,000 small white crosses, paying homage to those soldiers killed here during WW2. We then drove to Fort Santiago, a 16th century fort which was served by the Spanish, American and Japanese military, until it was destroyed in 1945. I had my photo taken with a very nice man dressed in the Spanish uniform.
We enjoyed some very welcome, cold drinks whilst we sailed away, bound for Hong Kong.
