Have you heard of Sawinggrai Village? No, neither had we, and Google Maps has a hard time finding it too. It is one of the 1500 islands in the archipelago of #RajaAmpat in #Indonesia. There are 36 families, and lots of happy children who live on and mostly in the stunningly clear waters.

The Culture of Hotel Jen Manila

We got to see this very very shy #Cassowary when we were doing a road trip in Tropical North Queensland. The cassowary, looks like a giant prehistoric turkey walking on stilts with a large pointed helmet on its head. It is the second largest bird in the world. It is also the most dangerous bird on the planet. If threatened it will attack with a swift karate-kick with its powerful legs equipped with dagger-like claws. This endangered dinosaur bird is a shy solitary animal that lives in the rainforests of northern Queensland in Australia. #travel #seeAustralia #visitqueensland

In the midst of the frenetic city of #Manila is Fort Santiago in the historic district of #Intramuros, a lovely historic area. This citadel, was built by Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi. #Philippines #travel #gopro

This was our last night in #Manila and we got an epic sunset from the Club Lounge of Hotel Jen. What a fabulous week in a very intriguing city. Thanks to @CebuPacificAir for getting us there (and back) and to @hoteljenmanila for hosting our stay and spoiling us too.#travel

Fort Santiagos in #Intramuros is not just historical interesting, but a fave spot for pre-nuptial photographs. Ok, I had not heard of these pre-nup photos either but this is a massive business in the #Philippines #Manila #Travel

Hotel Jen #Manila is definitely never boring. It is one of the friendliest and most enjoyable hotels with amazing staff in this capital city of the #Philippines. The pool is a big plus in this humid city. #leaveboringbehind @hoteljenmanila #travel

#Manila confuses me. You don't even need to leave the #Philippines to get a taste of Italy. This is the OTT Venice Grand Mall replete with gondolas, operatic music and set pigeon feeding times - just like St Marks Square - hmmm #travel
