My Actifit Report Card: April 17 2025

So today was about playing tourist in Manila. For my entire time in the Philippines so far I've been trying to live like a local.

Today though I was going with my son as he is very much a tourist here.

Of course getting hot we start with ice cream. Nothing much out of the ordinary except the flavor is avocado, cheese and mango. Not really Canadian style flavors.

.

Next up was the second oldest church in the Philippines. My son will visit the oldest when he goes to Cebu.

Then we hopped into a kalesa to see the area. It is just to large to walk around and the kalesa seemed a better choice than a trike. Slower and quieter.

We saw another old church, a few of the old high schools and universities and as Intramuros was a fort we also saw some of the walls and armaments.

But really the biggest attraction was Fort Santiago.

Where a national hero spent his last night.

But it is also a place where over a hundred thousand people were killed by Japanese in world war 2 and the dungeons still remain.

But it was another hot day so we tried hard to find cooler places and in front of the door conditioning was a nice find.

But at least I'm the tight concrete confines it want to bad

But the actual grounds look good but wow were they hot.

Anyways after the trip it was time for lunch

And then head back to the hotel in the really slow Manila traffic.

Over 10k steps the hot and sweaty way
