Cebu - City Tour & Historical Places(May 24-26, 2013)

The Family's 2nd day in Cebu was spent in the city's historical and famous
places.

We had our accommodation in the iconic skyscraper in the city - Crown Regency
Hotel and Towers. Value-for-money accommodation, a number of bar and restos,
various recreation and fitness facilities, and great service. It's really one great
place for business and pleasure.

The Sky Experience Adventure Tour makes it a busy and popular to tourists.



After The Family's worthwhile city tour, my son spent the rest of the day til night
swimming in the refreshing and massage pools of the hotel.




Our city tour which we rented a van for 1,500 - Taoist Temple, Fort San Pedro,
Magellan's Cross, Basilica del Sto. Nino, Shamrock for pasalubong treats
and Taboan Market for the dried fish.

Taoist Temple, located in Beverly Hills is overlooking Cebu City.  It represents
the teachings of Lao-Tse the 600 B.C. Chinese philosopher. 




Fort San Pedro, located in the Plaza Independencia is a military defense structure.
It has a museum which brings back memories of the old times in Cebu.





Magellan's Cross, a must-see icon located in the heart of Cebu.  It is a cross
made of wood planted by Ferdinand Magellan located inside an old stone
dome.


And here is the Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino beside the Magellan's Cross.




My son making a wish...


Bought Cebu delicacies from Shamrock Pasalubong Center. 
 

My son's favorite mango juice.

Taboan Public Market ended our tour.  I bought danggit and squid for pasalubong.
The smell of the dried fish is so strong which sticked on my shirt. Your really need 
to take a bath to remove the fishy smell.

Tried Cebu's lechon for dinner. And after the buffet breakfast at Glo Cafe,
The Family went immediately to Plantation Bay for another awesome experience.
