Atlas Obscura Day, MBC Participates
See http://atlasobscura.com/obscura-day#Manila_Moonlight_Row_Manila
Two participants will sit in a four-man scull with two rowers and a cox who will take you up the river and back down again. Two boats will go out at a time. Before the trip drinks will be served at the club house for all participants and two of their friends.
The club’s resident mixologist has created the PASIG OBSCURA. A unique gin cocktail made especially for the occasion.
As for the actual trip, probably the most striking part will be the experience of travelling through one of the busiest and noisiest cities in the world yet hear only the sounds of lapping water, children laughing on the banks nearby, and the occasional evening stroller throwing you their hello’s. The views of Manila and Makati lit up at night will add to the serenity. Along the way the old cigar factory, the race track, and hidden parks will open themselves up to you – as these views and others, normally blocked by walls and buildings, will become unencumbered along the river banks.
Details/Special Instructions:
- 8 slots available [with two guests].
- Participants must be able to swim and be in reasonable health. They may get a tiny bit wet from splashes.
