A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

THE WALK IN INTRAMUROS (Manila)

Intramuros (within the walls), known as the oldest district of Manila, is one of the historical attractions that shouldn't be missed when you visit the Philippines. In this place, stone walls, old churches and historical structures can be found which can take you to the Spanish era and give you a glimpse of how Manila looked like when it was colonized by Spain. Aside from the old churches, Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church; and the famous Fort Santiago, here are some other historical structures that can be found while walking or riding the calesa (carriage).

These infrastructures has been used for businesses and other offices 
but the Spanish architectural designs were preserved.







Fact is, we didn't ride a calesa because it's more fun walking here. (and the calesa ride is costly) hehehe.



-------------------------------
A travel that satisfies the heart 
and fills the brain with cherished memories. 
This is TRAVEL-licious.
