Yes, this is the place were history meets tomorrow. A city which is Philippines oldest city and carries some of the priceless historical relics and monuments. Here are some of my photos taken in Cebu:

The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral was established as a diocese on August 14, 1595 and it was elevated as a metropolitan archdiocese on April 28, 1934. The construction of this church took many years due to the interruptions and luck of funds. The architecture of the church is typically Spanish Colonial churches in the country.

I don’t actually remember if how many churches they have, but this is all I can say It was so amazing. Night time and it’s time to find some place which we can drink and relax. As I read in the internet that there is place where families, kids, couples, friends are there a bar called Sunflower. Am a bit curious about the place cause it’s not only youngsters are there. As we arrive there, there was live band playing disco and pop music while some people dancing on the dance floor. At the beginning  there are only few couples but later on I was so amazed when I saw the families with their babies on the strollers. Wow! And there are some kids also dancing with their dad and mom! That was so amazing.

The next day we planned to go in some of the Island closed to Cebu. Our choices is either Malapascua Island and Camotes Island. And since that I know if how to get there in Camotes Island so I guess it’s my choice at all. Follow my next update regarding Camotes Island.
