Cebu Experience Part 2

I know,  I know! I am not writing about my Cebu trip in a chronological manner. But then again, who cares?! :) 

Anyhow, here's the 2nd part. This shall cover other places that were covered in the tour organized by the celebrant himself!

Lapu-Lapu, who else!
And so on my 1st day in Cebu, which was February 12, we went to the Lapu-Lapu Shrine. Frankly, and begging for every Cebuano's forgiveness, I didn't care much about this stop or maybe we didn't just stay long enough for me to appreciate this particular spot. We just went around and had our photos taken. 

Next stop was the Magellan's Cross, which was basically located next to the Basilica del Sto. Nino. Some more photo-op happened here! 


And final tour destination was the Cebu Taoist Temple. I read about this on the internet days before my trip and so I wasn't that surprised about the 99-step stair feature of this Temple. It was in fact something that I set as a challenge for myself, sort of "see if I can climb this one". Me, the queen of laziness in using the stairs at the office if only for climbing up or going down 1 floor! :0 
Temple Facade. This after the 99 Steps!
And so there I was, tried my best to reach the top and I was able to do it! I even offered prayers and wishes inside the temple. :) Cameras are not allowed inside the temple though, so I wasn't able to take shots. :( 
ang mga turista, nagpapahinga bago umakyat ulit! :)
