Hi beautiful people! It's Katy here. Yesterday we visited the plantation owned by Kanlungan (2 hours away from Manila). There was much debate amongst the group as to whether it is a farm or a jungle. When you see the photos you can decide for yourself! It's run by the teenage boys too old to stay in the Malate centre. It's the most amazing place! They harvest coconuts, pineapples, pepper, coffee, bananas, mangoes and Jack fruit. The boys used to have to stay in tents but now have a small building to sleep in. Simon was brave enough to spend the night there with them. I'm happy to say he survived his night in the wilderness and rejoined the rest of us today in one piece. When we'd finished sampling the farm's fruit we found a waterfall deep in the 'jungle' and some of us jumped in for a dip! Nigel wound me and Becca up for ages by telling us that we'll probably get dissentry from the water...we seem okay today though!
I am proud to take full credit for inventing a successful Jeepney time-passing game on the way home. It involves a mexian wave of our hands grabbing the handrail then being released in sequence - hours of fun!! Chris also created Banana Man and two talking Mafia Pineapples to keep us all entertained. I'll try and get some photos so you can experience the fruit people too! ;)
