Day 123 ... Another city for our next stop, Cebu City. Only an hours flight from Puerto but as always our AirAsia flight was delayed, by 2 hours so we got to our hotel late evening. This stop is more of a stop over on the way to Boracay. There are a few things to do here like swimming with whale sharks, which we both decided we didn't agree on so we're not doing that. Then canyoneering but Adam didn't fancy the 4am start for that. Then there's the Chocolate Hills over in Bohol which we have been told is a bit awkward to get to. So we're using the next 2 days for coding and Vietnam research.
Day 124 ... After breaki we got a taxi to the SM Cebu City Mall. It's huge but whoever designed it needs sacking, it was like a maze! But I found the bikini top I bought in KL branch of H&M that I bought before we went to Dubai but 'lost' in Langkawi and Adam kindly treated me to it. I was gutted when I lost it as it was my favourite so I'm chuffed I've replaced it. After a caramel frappuccino we got a taxi back to the hotel. The traffic is horrendous in the city. It seems to be another really poor, run down city with a lot of poverty which is so sad to see but that's how they are used to living. We're using this afternoon to be productive so I'm organising Vietnam visas and doing a little research on our route and Adam is catching up on some coding since we haven't had wifi for the last week or so. Then we're off to Phat Pho for dinner, a Vietnamese place I've found on TripAdvisor nearby to get a taste of what's to come in a week or so!
Day 125 ... Another research coding day today. Flights and hotels for Vietnam on the agenda today. And heading back to Phat Pho for lunch after a yummy dinner there last night, getting a taste for Vietnamese food in a weeks time!!
