It’s something to do with the electrics, I said, and that’s the emergency diesel generator kicking in. We looked out the window but all seemed as it should be. The little sari sari store across the road was already open with two or three customers hanging around. Do Filipinos never sleep?
Our alarm was set for 5 so, when we had reassured ourselves that we were in no immediate danger, we thought we could grab a few more minutes sleep. Marilyn decided it would be sensible to pack our stuff so that, if a real emergency popped up, we would just snatch our bags and run.
Our plane leaves at 8 o’clock so we’ve allowed ourselves time for a shower and breakfast before the hotel car takes us to the airport. The charge for this very nice hotel is only $40 per night, with breakfast and airport transfers thrown in.
