Note: This Cebu trip was from November 3-5. I have so many backlogsssss.
Once again we found ourselves in the beautiful queen city of south to have a second go in Oslob. We were rewarded with a wonderful weather this time.
Chicharon stop at Carcar, home of the original chicharon.
These trees provided shade from the grueling sun. I had a great time gazing at their almost yellow leaves.
Whale sharks encounter version 2.0. We might have an underwater camera ready but the water current wasn't coordinating. It was too strong hence, water was murky. :(
Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our 30-minute rendezvous with the gentle giants. They are still adorable.
Then at the Marian Church of Simala located in Sibonga, Cebu. Apparently, many devotees flock this church to pay homage to the miraculous Virgin Mary. The architecture was grand and pretty awesome, the turrets alone make you feel like you're in Barcelona or somewhere in Spain, not that I've been there already.
We arrived in the middle of the afternoon in what we felt as the hour when the sun was at its angriest point. It was ridiculously hot it was utter madness. But that didn't stop the devotees and tourists from coming in - young and old alike - so who are we to complain?
Besides, we get to stay in here for a day.
Lunch is a feast.
Staying in Catmon will always be a delight. I at least get to have a taste of "the life" even for some measly hours.
Dropped by Skills & Bones store to score some new shirts, unfortunately for the Cheese there are no more available sizes for him. So I just took this photo instead. I want that Di Ingon Nato sticker too!
Cebu trips will never be complete without dropping by our favorite Ayala resto that serves affordable steaks: Casa Verde! Although, we notice that each year prices seem to be getting steeper. Oh no, Casa Verde has gone mainstream! lol.
For a such a short visit it sure was fun and relaxing at the same time. I just love Cebu.
Lastly, I just had to take a quick snapshot of our plane before we took off for Manila. It's more fun in the Philippines!
