Just wrapped up a 3D2N getaway at Manila Bay and honestly? It was part chill, part chaos, all charm. Whether youโre a history buff, a sunset chaser, or just hungry all the time (me), this oneโs for you! ๐ดโจ โธป ๐ฌ Day 1: History, Parks & Golden Hours ๐ 9:00 AM โ Landed and headed straight to Rizal Park ๐ณ. Itโs peaceful, patriotic, and smells like morning grass and food carts. ๐ 12:00 PM โ Popped over to Intramuros ๐ฐ โ Manilaโs walled city! Explored cobblestone streets and felt like a character in a colonial novel. ๐ 3:00 PM โ Stepped into San Agustin Church โช โ jaw-dropping interiors, soft light filtering in, and the air thick with history. ๐ 6:00 PM โ Sunset along Manila Baywalk was a fiery masterpiece ๐ฅ๐ . Locals were jamming, kids roller-skating, lovers vibing โ pure Manila. ๐ 8:00 PM โ Dinner near Malate Church (Our Lady of Remedies) ๐ โ classic Filipino soul in architecture. Ended the night with halo-halo by the street. Cold. Sweet. Epic. โธป ๐ Day 2: Culture, Ocean Creatures & Mega Malls ๐ 9:00 AM โ Started with a splash at Manila Ocean Park ๐ โ stingrays, sharks, and even penguins. Kid me was living. ๐ 12:30 PM โ Lunch nearby: veggie pancit + fresh buko juice ๐ฅฅ. Light, refreshing, so Filipino. ๐ 3:00 PM โ Explored the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) ๐ญ โ modern art meets heritage. Caught a local dance rehearsal by chance! ๐ 6:00 PM โ Back to the bay for another golden hour, this time with grilled corn and fish balls in hand ๐ฝ๐. ๐ 8:00 PM โ Night stroll past Malate. Smell of street BBQ everywhere. Tip: say yes to banana cue ๐๐ฅ. โธป ๐๏ธ Day 3: Shop & Soak It In ๐ 10:00 AM โ Mall of Asia time! ๐๏ธ Huge, shiny, and air-conditioned (thank goodness). Coffee, souvenirs, and a giant Ferris wheel ride for the views ๐ก. ๐ 12:00 PM โ Last lunch: tofu sisig and garlic rice. Simple but chefโs kiss ๐ ๐ 2:00 PM โ Quick visit to San Agustin again โ had to say goodbye properly. Thenโฆ Grab to the airport. โธป โจ Tips & Tales ๐ Walk lots โ wear comfy shoes. ๐ก Be curious โ Manila rewards wanderers. ๐ด Try local snacks. Even balut. Once. ๐ โธป Verdict? Manila Bay is a mix of soul, salt air, and stories. Already planning round two ๐๐ต๐ญ๐
