The queen city of the South: Cebu

Cebu is one of the most popular tourist spot in the Philippines, I don’t doubt this anymore because it was really mesmerizing. In my 5-days stay in Cebu, I did nothing but be amazed by its beauty.

The first thing I did in Cebu was to drop by the Cathedral and see the Magellan’s Cross. Their cathedral was big and it seems like they really work hard to preserve it. As I roamed around, I realized that their Cathedral was built ages of years ago but it is still beautiful. Outside the cathedral was the famous Magellan’s cross. A lot of tourists was there too, taking a picture of it.

In my first day, I went to what they call “Little Amsterdam” in Sirao. The place was really colorful because there it’s like a huge garden with a lot of flowers and plants planted everywhere.

I also went to Moalboal Cebu and stayed there for two days. I enjoyed the breathtaking view of the whitesand beach there. I really loved watching the sunset from there. I also did some water activity despite of having a little bad weather. I stayed in Moalboal with some of the relatives from Cebu. They accompany me, they show me some of Moalboal’s best places and they even taught me some commonly used Bisaya words and phrases.

On my fourth day in Cebu, I went on some challenging water activity called canyoneering. I chose the full track in which the end will be the Kawasan falls. I was unable to film some of my 2-hour treking, jumping, swimming and climbing journey. It was really tiring but I enjoyed it.

I also went to Oslob on my last day in Cebu to experience whale shark watching. It was a one of a kind experience because at first I was so afraid to get into the water. The whale sharks were so giant and I thought they might swallow me.

On my last night at Cebu, I had a dinner at Lantaw floating restaurant. The place was nice because it has an overlooking view of the city. A hundred meters away from the floating restaurant was Cordova’s 10000 lighting roses and it was so beautiful. I really love flowers. Though these 10000 roses were artificially made, I really appreciate it because they were really nice.

I am really considering going back to Cebu and discover a lot of things I haven’t seen in my visit. The place was really incredible, Cebuanos are really nice and kind. The food were exceptional most especially the Lechon which is what Cebu is most known for. I will never forget this travel experience. I really hope that one day, I’ll be able to visit again the queen city of the south.
