I haven't in my life experienced a pleasure more pure or joyful than watching the gentle transition of colours on the horizon. Perched on a private balcony overlooking Roxas Boulevard, I felt as though I were bathing in the buttery ambers, delicate mauves and sweeping coppers of Pissarro's palette.
There are few things more sublime than a Manila Bay sunset.
Should I be so lucky as to have lived in one.

I had the pleasure of having been a guest of the Baywatch Luxury Condominiums whilst writing a Manila travel feature for Dim Sum Magazine.
That one gets to enjoy the amenities, comfort and deeply personal touches of a real home whilst on a travel assignment is rare.
Units 1403 and 1903 are gay owned and operated.
The Baywatch tower is within stone's throw of historic tourist attractions, fabulous eateries, and - of course - the Malate gay precinct. As an added bonus, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport is a mere 20-minute cab ride.

Much thanks to owner Bill Hawkins and his lovely property manager, Ms. Aily, for the hospitality.
