Our trip to Cebu on October 2013 was made possible (again!) by a promo fare that I couldn't resist. I booked it right away without asking Dan if he was up for it. I was thinking, there was no way he would refuse it, especially since we won a free hotel accommodation at Crown Regency Towers, which by the way has a great view of the Queen City of the South. And anyone who has traveled would agree that a huge chunk of the travel expenses goes to accommodation. Good thing, we have one item crossed out from our list of expenses. Anyway, matipid naman kaming maglakwatsa. We always stick to the budget, no matter what. Kung di na kayang kumain, i-tubig na lang ang gutom, haha!
Unlike our Bohol trip, we didn't have to hire a tour guide in Cebu. Dan's two teenage nephews, Emerson and Remson, were gracious enough to drive us around the city. Plus, our high school friend Mariegen with her friend Haide also happened to be in the city, which means, we would have decent pictures together! That has always been a struggle. When it's just the two of us, we have no other choice but to take selfie shots which turn out horrendous because of angle issues.
Here are some photos we have taken from our trip.
Cebu lechon was a priority for this trip. As soon as we landed, we asked Emerson, Dan's nephew, to take us to a local restaurant that serves the famous Cebu lechon. Our first gastronomic fill was at CnT Lechon. The following day, we tried Zubuchon.
Dan and I make it a point to try something new in the places we visit. We did that in Bohol when we had the firefly tour. It was something that I wouldn't normally do but I'm glad I did. This time in Cebu, we couldn't miss the Sky Adventure in the Crown Regency. Definitely, this is not recommended for the fainthearted. It took a lot of convincing for me to finally give it a try. I can do the Skywalk and Zipline all over again, but I would never have the Edge Coaster for a second time. It was like facing death head-on, I swear.
And of course, the mandatory city tour.
Daghang salamat, Cebu!
