magnificent cebu

after that heart-stopping, adrenalin-pumping run from the lounge to the airplane, rose and i settled in for a 60-minute flight to cebu. now i've been to cebu before and initially, we were supposed to head straight to the pier for the ferry trip to bohol.. unfortunately, with the fiasco involving joy, we ended up arriving in cebu almost 6 hours before she did. calculating the travel time to bohol and assuming that we arrive late in the afternoon, we decided to set up camp in cebu for the first day. next question, where do we stay?

after browsing thru the various hotel leaflets/fliers at the tourism desk, we spoke to daniel, the airport rep for the crown regency chain of hotels in cebu. daniel was very accommodating and kind. it also helped that rose stayed in a crown regency hotel when she was in cebu before although she couldn't really remember which one. after a few calls, we waited for the hotel van and off we were to crown regency.

we checked-in then went back down for the next important matter for the day: breakfast. so we headed on down to the cafe and ordered a la carte: danggit breakfast for me and the tapa breakfast for rose. both delicious if i may say so! then, we went to the convenience store to buy some "nourishment" until joy got there.

(l-r: my danggit meal, rose's tapa meal and "nourishment" pb chips ahoy, cherry and caffeine-free coke)

and now we got to the exciting part, well for me that is...sleep... hehehehe we wouldn't be exoecting joy for five more hours so, we rested. but rose had something that kept her awake, a new toy! she charged the batteries, tinkered with it a bit then gave in to sleep :))
