Bohol,Cebu and Bantayan Island Summer Trip 2009

Since this travel is during the height of summer and holyweek season. Had to pay an arm and a leg in order to get a decent flights and accomodations

Tour Itinerary:
Day 1 April 1

Arrived in Cebu at 6 am checked in at the hotel in fuente osmena then went to Cebu’s oldest Roman Catholic Church, the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño. The structure, located right in the heart of downtown Cebu City, since its palm sunday we bought palm crosses which were blessed by the priest with holy water. we also visited the Magellans Cross for picture taking.

We went to ayala terraces (Greenbelt Version. That’s Terraces of Cebu) and had lunch at Golden Cowrie Hukad. It was around 1pm na..yet long queues were seen at Hukad. We ordered their kinilaw, sisig,chicken pandan and Kare-kare. I love their food especially the kinilaw superb! Free flowing or unlimited rice is just one of the good thing about this restaurant too. for 7 persons the cost was around Php 1,000) not bad..

After the heavy lunch we went to Mountain View resort in Busay.Overlooking the city, it is situated near the cool flower gardens of Busay. This park comes with a mini-zoo, accommodations, and canteen. MOUNTAIN VIEW NATURE'S PARK Sitio Gorohe, Busay, Cebu City is an excellent sight seeing spots and both give particularly breathtaking views of the metropolis. There are also open kiosks available for picnics with the family.

Mga 4pm From Busay we went to Marco Polo Hotel to try the Blu Bar and Grill but the Cocktails start 4:30 PM and dinner starts at 6:30 PM.so we decide to go to Crown Regency instead. wanted to check out the Hotels Sky Rides. We wanted to try the Sky Walk Extreme and Edge Coaster. but we backed out for the last minute..since hindi kinaya ang fear of heights. especially im hypertensive. so we opted to try the 4D theater instead.

This 4D Theater is the first in Cebu and it is located in the 18th floor of Crown Regency Hotel. The 4d movie is called Deep Sea Adventure where you go under the sea encountering various kinds of sea creatures.You could view them as if they are totally in front of you. although it only takes a few minutes to watch the film but the experience is unforgettable.

After the movie naghanap kami ng Dimsum Steamed Rice... the dimsum “steamed rice” in Cebu is actually a rice topping with your choice of chicken, beef or pork.the nearest we can find is the Majestic steamed rice located in food court in Robinsons Fuente few blocks away from Crown Regency.

After the tiresome and hectic day about 7pm balik na kami sa hotel sa sobrang pagod nag take out na lang kami ng food from Larsian. Larsian is one of Cebu's most prominent eating havens, Located at the uptown area Larsian’s is a paradise for barbeque lovers.they served sizzling sinugbang baboy, sinugbang pusit, sinugbang isda,puso (hanging rice) home made chorizo and etc.at a very affordable cost.
