Mid-morning, corner of Ponte and Pasong Tirad Streets, Makati, Manila. The two nights we spent in Manila at the beginning and end of our trip were just a short way down the street from here.

Thanks Dave, I have seen the site you refer to – it was that guys itinerary that gave us some ideas for ours.
We’ll definitely be back one day!
Regards.

Hi team – your trip to the Phillipines looks inspiring and I’m just suggesting it to my partner for January 2015. We are also kiwis and would be keen to here any recommendations or what you might avoid or any other suggestions
Hi Nadine, can only say we had a brilliant time and really loved our trip there. Highlight was definitely El Nido area for scenery but the riding on all the other islands was good. Riding the highlands around Banaue, Baguio and Sagada would be great too (we did that via jeepney on a different trip) – but would love to ride it. Have fun! please send us a link if you have a blog.
cheers
Mark.
Hi, I love your photos. I wonder how’d you do it? How many cameras do you bring on your trip? Or you just change the lens if needed? What camera/lens do you often use, if you don’t mind? Thanks.
Thanks! I carried a Canon 5D camera on that trip with a 24-105mm lens and a fisheye lens. This made a versatile combo. These days I carry 16-35mm, 50mm and 70-200mm when cycle touring. For short bike packing trips just a 24-70mm or 24-105mm.
Thanks for replying to my query.
Thank you
