Philippines We flew in to the airport on Mactan Island and explored here later visiting the Allegre Guitar factory, the countryside and the beaches. Cebu City itself we found noisy and dirty and busy. The downtown was depressing to walk about - many children begging, darting in and out of traffic to do so -scary! - people living on the streets, vendors set up everywhere selling everything you can imagine.
The highlight in Cebu was connecting with our friend Cristine who we met on our GAP Galapagos trip and who is originally from Cebu. We had fun together and explored the Uptown life of Cebu and saw the very modern fancy hotels and shopping malls and the casino - no we did not play. Thank you Cristine for timing your visit here with ours! Hope we connect.
