Today we had to go to the immigration to get a new visa. They also wanted us to pay for a ACR card but we said NO. Why pay for something that we can´t have since we are in Europe then. It´s like an Philippin id. It takes some weeks for them to make them and when it is ready to be picked up we are in Spain. That card costs a lot of money and we didn´t want to pay for that so they had to take it away from our application so we had to wait nearly 4 hours to get the stamp in our passports.

I also need permission to take the dogs out from the Philippines so went to the Quarantine in Davao and that man said we have to go to Manila to get the permission from Manila to Amsterdam. Very strange since i had contact with them in Manila and they will send the permision to me by mail. It is very good when people can their work and don´t give the custumers wrong information as the man did in Davao. That man shall not work in that office!

After we took a taxi to the airport because i need another permission to take the dogs from Davao to Manila. So had to go to another Quarantine office at the airport. After a while i found a woman at the airport and she will fix that paper untill friday so i can pick it up. Without that paper the dogs can´t go to Manila.

Also i asked about airplane tickets for the dogs at the company Philippine airlines. And they can´t make reservations for dogs on the flights because they don´t know which airplanes they use that day, and all airplane is not built for animals. So we have to go to Davao airport on monday morning and wait there untill they have a flight that takes dogs. Very strange!!! So now we have to leave on monday to be sure we will be in Manila for tuesday evening for the take of to Amsterdam. We will spend one night there at the same B&B as when we arrived 7th of november.

I am very tired of this country and it feels so good to leave.

Tomorrow we have to go to a special veterinary and let that person check the dogs. I am not sure they will let us in to Amsterdam without seeing that veterinary. Also the veterinary need to fill in a special english document and i don´t know where to find it on internet.

I have spent so many hours in front of the computer and internet to get all things in order. It is so much to think about when you have dogs with you on trips to countries far away and to other continents! I will never do it again. It´s to much work and it makes me worry a lot.

Well well, i hope everything will work out fine with the dogs for this trips back home to Spain.

Now time for dinner!
