Cebu 2024 – Day 04 – Pescador Island

Posted on 11 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

Day 04 was a pretty heavy day, itinerary-wise, for us. The planned schedule was for us to check out of our resort in Moalboal early in the morning, then drive to the jetty where we’d boat over to Pescador Island

Posted on 10 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

Day 03 and we finally get to one of the highlights of this 11-day trip to Cebu: swimming with whale sharks, an experience that’s new for all of us and likely not something we’d do again in the near future!

Cebu 2024 – Day 02 – Osmeña Peak

Posted on 9 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

The 90-minute drive from Simala Shrine to Osmeña Peak was a lot smoother, with fairly low traffic plying the road as we continued south. Osmeña Peak is the tallest point on Cebu Island and sits inside a region of impressive-looking

Cebu 2024 – Day 02 – Simala Shrine

Posted on 9 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

Despite the fact that we didn’t have that heavy an itinerary on Day 01 — we were just arriving from Singapore, checking into the hotel, then figuring out dinner — all of us were so doggoned tired after the first

Cebu 2024 – Day 01 – SM City Cebu

Posted on 8 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

Cebu 2024 – Day 01 – Arrival

Posted on 8 Jun 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

Our 11 days in Cebu is one of those trips where we did 99% of our planning months before travel, and thereafter did little else besides wait for the trip to begin. Of the 11 days, seven days would be

Posted on 29 May 202410 Mar 2026   by CY

We’re about a week away from heading to our Cebu trip! Our last trip to tropical islands for sun and snorkeling was five years ago, pre-COVID, during our trip to the Maldives. So, in a sense, I already had a

Posted on 25 Mar 202410 Mar 2026   by CY
