Cebu Tidbits

I got a chance to see Cebu because the company I am working with sent me to organize an event. I stayed there for 1 week and it was a hectic and toxic one. I was assigned to make sure that everything is in place for the event including the attendance of the invitees. As usual whenever I’m on a business trip I take advantage of giving myself a chance to see the good places. I asked a hotel attendant whom I befriended to give me a list of suggested places to see in Cebu. So she took a paper and pen and jotted down the following.

Magellan’s Cross – Planted on April 21, 1521 by Magellan. The one shown in public is a replica the original is preserved encased in a hollow wood and it stands in the center of the pavilion.

Image of the Sto. Nino – The oldest religious relic in the country

Mactan Island – Beach to see the corals and famous for scuba diving

Moalboal - One of the first scuba diving spot in the country

Fort San Pedro – Oldest and smallest tri-bastion fort in the country and currently houses a national museum.

Taoist Temple – Beautiful Chinese temples

Well, my week was really hectic then so the only place I got to visit is the Taoist Temple. Though I did not see all the good places anyhow I enjoyed my stay especially my night outs and shopping at Colon Street. And also I got a chance to stay and got pampered one whole week at Waterfront Hotel.

Let me add the latest craze in Cebu City- the CROWN REGENCY Edge Coaster- a relatively new adventure wherein a 2-seat open cabin will be tilted at an angle and will slowly move around the edge on the 37th floor of Crown Regency Hotel (in Jones, near Fuente O) and they offer the skywalk too.

Thanks for that...I'll check it next visit
