Day 1 - Manila, Philippines

I had booked a Quezon Culinary and Heritage Tour, and we boarded the bus at 5:30. When we arrived in Quezon, it was time for breakfast, so we ate at the Sulyap Art Gallery and Cafe. We then drove to The San Pablo Cathedral and went walking on a tour of the ancestral houses in Sariaya Quezon. After lunch, we traveled to Ugu Bigyan Potter's Garden. It was beautiful there. It is best know for the pottery items and the picture-perfect sight. That was by far the highlight of my day. We then went to Kamay ni Hesus Healing church. It is set on top of a steep mountain. You must climb 292 steps to reach it. At the top, there is a statue of Jesus. It is 50 feet tall and said to be the third largest in the world. When we arrived in Manila, I stayed at the Diamond hotel, the nicest hotel in Manila.
