First day in the Philipines, arrived in Manila Saturday night and qantas had lost my bags again,I've got to say if nothing else they are consistent 2 flights 2 times lost bags, anyway Philipines is very tropical a can't believe anything would not grow here. We are staying at the IRRI guesthouse which is in Los Banos about 1.5 hrs north of Manila, temp about 30 degrees with the odd shower. Yesterday we travelled by bus then boat to an island and climbed to the top of the Taal Volcano had a great day finished off with a fantastic dinner hosted by Leigh Viel and his wife Sue Leigh is 2006 scholar who runs the farm at IRRI (international rice research institute)
