Intramuros - 3rd time around

and our journey continues.....

As the Pasig River Ferry docked, we disembarked at Plaza Mexico Station in Intramuros, we headed towards Manila Cathedral then to Fort Santiago. It was the first time ever for my girl friend to see Fort Santiago and Rizal's shrine. Her excitement was very evident. I led her towards the ledge to see the Pasig River and we ended up at Rizal's shrine. We stopped briefly at the entrance where an electric fan was on. We needed to cool down as the sun was at 45 degrees already. We took several photos inside the shrine and continued our walk. We saw several tourists coming in and it was a nice feeling to see them. We were also tourists in our own rights.

After Fort Santiago, we walked towards General Luna Street. We're searching for Casa Manila and Bahay Tsinoy. Unfortunately, Casa Manila Museum was closed on Mondays . We managed to peek inside the wide center court , took a few shots and left.

Our feet took us to corner Cabildo and Anda Streets and saw Kaisa Heritage building which housed Bahay Tsinoy.

Bahay Tsinoy is closed on Mondays for the regular maintenance but since there was an important visitor, the museum was opened.

After Bahay Tsinoy, we sipped some cold drinks and went back to Plaza Mexico to catch the 1145 ferry back to Guadalupe. We would have lunch at Tapsi niVivian in Marikina. After lunch, we would go to Butterfly farm.
