This day was somewhat of a bonus for us.
We headed to the airport in the morning to get our flight back to Sydney.
However, as luck would normally have it, we encountered a huge amount of traffic and arrived at the terminal just in time to see our plane heading off into the blue.
After a period of panic, we headed to the 'Philippine Airlines' office to see what we could do.
To their credit, they rebooked us four days later, and at zero cost to us. One of the reasons they are my preferred airline.
With a bonus of four days, I was determined to make the very most of it. This started with a taxi trip down to Barangay Multinational which is located at the very end of the main runway.
A great morning was had (if you overlook the security guards with delusions of grandeur) before moving on to Sucat railway station for a train home.

The wife asked me if we could have some quiet while she cooked dinner.
So I took the battery out of the smoke alarm!!
