Unforgettable Cebu 1.5

Okay, It's 03:20 a.m here in Cebu and I can't sleep... excited for Bohol? I guess. lol. Since my Insomnia attacking me right now, I will post the second to the last part of my visit in some places here in Cebu. So here it is:






Taoist Temple

Built in 1972, the Taoist Temple is constructed in a highly ornate and some would say, gaudy style of chinese architecture and it is topped with a pagoda-style roof.





Fort San Pedro

Fort San Pedro is the oldest and smallest fort in the Philippines. Built by the Spaniards to repel sieges by hostile natives and Muslim pirates, the fort was deemed finished in 1738, some 200 years after it started construction.





Santo Nino Basilica

It was built on the exact spot where the image of the Santo Nino, a sculpture depicting the Holy Child Jesus was founded by Spanish explorers in 1565 preserved in a burned wooden box which was left behind during the 1521 Magellan expedition.




SO, after Ayala Mall - The Terraces (one of the best malls I've ever seen so far), we went to
SM Cebu

4th largest shopping mall in the Philippines.





Casa Gorordo Museum

was the home of Juan Gorodo, first Filipino Bishop of Cebu. Casa Gorordo Museum Cebu is located in Lopez Jaena Steet. At present, the museum houses many old and ancient relics. The displayed relics give a picture about the lifestyle of the Filipino people during the period from1860s to 1920s.



Alright. So that's it, the places we visited. This is not my last entry about Cebu, actually second to the last entry about this city. It's almost 4:00 am here, need to get some energy for our next adventure. Tc. :)

Unforgettable Cebu 1



Rain


I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.

This is our last night here in the beautiful City, Cebu. I need to pack all my things for tommorow's flight to Bohol, but before that I guess I need to share some of my experiences here in Cebu.

We spent our days in the awesome Cebu Midtown Hotel.I love our room, like the service, the staff were nice. About the food.... superb ( in my opinion)!







Our Sink and a night view from the room.




During our stay here the rain keeps on pouring... bad timing I guess. Lol

In spite of the heavy rain, we still managed to visit some of Cebu's Tourist's Spot.



Ayala Center Cebu - Terraces Day and Night

So that's the first part of my adventure in Cebu. I wanted to post all my adventures but I need to prepare for tommorow's flight. And lastly, when it rains I remember the poem by Shel Silverstein entitled Rain. Ahhhh. lol
