Remembering Intramuros

Definitely, it's really a walk to remember.




Walking for more than four hours in a stretch! Whew! Even if my cam's battery went zero and only had these few shots, I enjoyed walking along the cobbled streets and passing along the old ruins.


Our 'tour' started from fort santiago where for the second time, I saw some of rizal's creations. After checking the museum, we enjoyed the view of [the dirty] Pasig River.

Outside Fort Santiago is Manila Cathedral.
In between our so-called "guided" tour (guided by a travel book adarbil bought), we rested in Plaza de Santa Isabel in the corner of Anda St and Gen Luna.
We didnt get to see Bahay Tsinoy (closed at 5p) but we bought cheap souvenirs from Silharis, an Antique Shop.


We fancied eating at Ilustrados (read about it in cosmo) but too bad, it closes earlier during sundays.

We rode a calesa to Roxas Boulevard and ended our 'expedition' in Sea Food Wharf, a romantic restau, facing Manila Bay.

Intramuros, literally "Within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city/fortress
