This is entry #13. Link to entry #12. Jolayne is also chronicling our trip  here. Day 11.  Tuesday, April 9th . Next: Philippines - Day 12 (Traveling/Korea) Tuesday, our last day in the Philippines.  It started early as usual, as Jolayne wakes up before the sun (pretty much anywhere in the world, it would seem).  It's actually a nice time of day; not as hot.   This morning we noticed it was slightly cloudy and the wind was stiff and had shifted, coming in on our side of the island.  It was quite refreshing.  We liked it and so did the kite boarders.
