The pandemonium in Manilla airport was testimony to the fact that this was the busiest day to travel from the Uk to the Philippines. We walked out of the airport into what felt like a wall of tropical heat. In true British fashion we immediately began to sweat profusely.
It is forbidden to greet passengers in the airport or outside the airport terminal, so expectant friends and relatives waited en masse behind a police controlled barrier on the other side of a busy road. We were herded down a pathway and bundled into the road, but our attempts to cross were futile, as were those of the other passengers. Several luggage trolleys spilled into the traffic. We eventually made it across but no sign of Dylan. Mum parked herself up in the dark - night falls early here, around 6pm, - behind a snack stall and Theo and I searched the crowds, Theo yelling DYLAN as he sat on my shoulders. 40 minutes later Dyl and Lala appeared and he drove us confidently home through the bustling streets. It's so wonderful to be together again!
