Philippines- Day trip to Corregidor Island (World War 2 ruins)

All houses in compound are behind gates with a locked door for people to use.

After this climb and then 38 more steps we get to our room!!

One of many guns we saw





I climbed up a lighthouse and waved to Dad far below. You know how I love heights



A war memorial


Guns built in the hillside


I shall return [Hope we can some day]


Tunnel built under 300 ft of rock. This was there hospital etc connected by many many tunnels.Couldn't go down them as they were too ruined. While walking through they played sound effects of airplanes and bombs. Very eerie
