252 The Philippines Part 1 of 2

Back on the road and it's country 94. I ask my friend's Filipino cleaner advice on travelling Philippines. Starting in testing Manila, I battle jet lag (by visiting a 24hr bar). Pete, my pal, arrives and we're off on motorbikes for adventure - which involves torrential rain and flooding. This is part one of a two part podcast.
