it was when i was 10years old when i missed a tour to the country's strongest political structure, the Malacanang palace. it was because a day before the trip, my parents found out that i was infected by chicken pox. ever since, i only see it from outside the gate when i drop by the church of Saint Jude.but not until two weeks ago, when i received an email inviting me for a tour by the streetwalker and uber witty tour guide Ivan Man Dy of Old Manila Walks. along with other travel bloggers byahilo, ironwulf, lagalog,lawstude and nina plus other balikbayans, travelers and foreign tourists.it was a privilege to have met Ivan and took part of this tour invite. he's also famous for touring Anthony Bourdain on a food trip in Binondo for the international culinary and cultural adventure program No Reservations.up next comes a series of posts of the Power Palace and a shot of Beer tour. that may lead you to wondering if we get the chance to see the president.
I think you could see the shoes collection of Mrs. Marcos. :) I wish I could have such a huge collection too...lol. Looking forward to seeing the interior of the palace.
Heard so many good reviews about Ivan and his walking tours. Would love to join one of his tours one day. With Ivan and fellow travel bloggers with you, that must have been a great excursion!
Wow, na-meet mo na si IVAN. Watched him sa food trip with Anthony Burdain, galing niya! Sana di mo na binitin next post of Power Palace and.. what's this? a shot of Beer tour? post it na, now na!
i never been in Malacanang... i wonder how it looks inside.... by the way sorry for not being here around lately i just got sick but now im okay and im back with my daily blogging routine hehe thanks for your support for my blogs and for your visits too have a great day and God Bless!!
wow, exciting! hehe.. curious na ako sa beer tour. hmmm.. si erap ba may pakana nun? hehe.
i learned about his tours just now. Interesting. Sana we can schedule a visit to that museum too. And it must have been fun touring with foreigners. :)
