https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramuros">Intramuros. You might remember my last post about Luneta Park, but this time, I have a story with a bit of a surprise ending! But let's go through the different stations of my video in the correct order: ## Manila Bay In the first part of the video you can watch me at Manila Bay. I was pleased to see that this beach is much cleaner than it was several years ago. I would wish to see Manila as a whole to be that clean and more people taking care of their own environment.

## Park While I was jogging early in the morning, I had a nice view of the beautiful park.

## Kalesa Riding Later I decided to try a ride in a kalesa (a traditional horse-drawn carriage). The driver simply said, "Just enjoy and see around," so I hopped in without asking the price upfront—big mistake! The view, however, was absolutely stunning. We passed impressive, old churches, some said to be around 600 years old, and they were breathtakingly beautiful. The surprise came at the end: the ride cost ₱4,300! The kalesa took us on a very long route through heavy traffic, which took a lot of time. While the price was a shock, the experience of seeing the historic sights up close was unique. Ultimately, it was a memorable (if expensive) lesson learned!

## Light Play Let's end with the impressive "Dancing Fountain Show" in Rizal Park. I loved watching these color-changing lights! Just enjoy!

These last pics show me making an evening walk through the park, back to the hotel.
