Cebu Philippine

Jan 24th

The second day in Cebu city.

Cebu city is really not much to be seen.... Saw an ad about Zipline, and decided to try it out, the slow day needs a bit adventure to boost it up !!

This Zipline located on the top of mountain... the view up there is just breathtakingly beautiful, I can see the macatan island where I stayed, a lot of small remote islands... the whole city view...beautiful...

Took a taxi there .. cost 350 Pesos from SM mall... the taxi driver is very cunning here... finding every excuses to charge you more!!! but anyway, after all it's totally worth it when I got there and saw the view...

I tried twice 400 meters zip lines, once in sitting position, another in superman position... kind of scary at the beginning when the instructor push me off the deck, but after that it turns to be absolute fun, exciting ... along the way, i can see the forest under me, the small houses, the city in the far distance... 400 meters zip line costs about 300 pesos, not that expensive 😊

Had a great day! 😊

tomorrow gonna take a jet boat to the bantayan island...I've been told bantayan island has this amazing white sugar like beach... can't wait!!

Had an amazing day!

Joined hotel's Island Discovery trip, set off to a small island near Macatan, Cebu for snorkeling. The water is so clear. The first time try snorkeling, really hard to breach from the tube with my mouth at the beginning, took quite a while to get used to it, then the fun starts. The life guard gave me some bread to feed fishes, there are so many different fishes there, beautiful colors, those which I could only see on TV. The whole time, the life guard was with me, really nice guy, pick up a blue starfish from the sea bed for me... will keep it as the souvenir.

After snorkeling, we went to another island nearby for lunch, seafood BBQ. The beach there is ok, nearly a beach, but still a nice place to lay down and get tanned. 😊 The sun on the sea is usually really strong , always remember to apply some sunscreen 50+ before you set off to the sea...

After lunch, we went to a quite sea area for fishing. The fishing kit is quite simple, just a string with a tiny hook on the other end, but believe it or not, it definitely worked better than I thought, I am the one caught the first fish, really great moment, but after that, no luck. After fishing for about one hour, we headed back to the hotel, It's an amazing day! Life is short, have to enjoy every moment of it to the fullest extent. I will always remember this trip, amazing!! This is the first time I was genuinely happy after long time.

Keep smiling, that's what I will do ! 😊
