Cebu - Day 1

Hey readers, I am back to blogging!

It’s gonna be about my trip to Cebu, Philippines and this update will be separated into few posts.

It was actually my first international trip with my beloved UTB gang!! We have already made the planning a few months (more than half a year) back. Managed to purchase the tickets with affordable price earlier as the price later on was really costly.

Got up at 10am in the morning on the next day, planned to explore the tourist spots in the Cebu City, took a jeepney to Colon Street (the oldest street in Philippines), there are jeepneys everywhere, only cost me 7 pesos per trip! There were lots of stalls selling different handmade goods, and souvenirs in really low price, and lots of food stalls (shouldn’t try any of it, the food was not very clean). The place was really crowded, and we saw beggars lingering around that area.

*make sure you keep an eye on your valuables!

Enjoyed my cup of coffee for only 5 pesos in the morning before we proceeded to our next destination, it was a pleasant stay in Le Village GuestHouse, Jhaye’s service was really good and she is always ready to assist. *oh I’ve missed her already!!*

The coffee only cost me 50 pesos per cup!

The sun rose at 5ish in the morning, nearly 6. Woke up and get things done and headed to lobby for our breakfast. The view was really breath-taking!

I had bacon, omelettes and garlic rice for breakfast. Oh ya, we had a package deal with the tourist guy we found on some blogs earlier, we were having a one day trip in Bohol Island for our 4^th day! The guy came to our hotel at 8.30am to pick us up.

Missing this view already! The best hotel I've ever been to!

Had our next day planned to Oslob, close to Southern Cebu! It was a 3 hours car-driving journey, well it will be longer if you are taking a public bus from Cebu, it will take app 4 hours depending on the traffic. And we woke up as early as 4.30am to get ourselves prepared for the half day trip to Oslob.

Well, you might ask, what was the point of all those efforts?

Here’s my answer, the only reason of going all the way to Oslob...........is……for….

Cebu - Day 6

It was also the last day in Cebu, took my breakfast in the hotel before we headed out for some last minute shopping.

Visited one of the well-known grocery store in Cebu, SaveMore aka SM. Lol the name. Thanks to our rich papa for picking us up and bringing us around on our last day. Done some shopping (good place to get some food / snacks / dried mangoes). Headed to our next destination, Gaisano Island Mall Mactan. Took our lunch there, last meal with UNLI rice, sad case.
