Ayala Mall and The Arcade in Cebu

~~~oOo~~~

 

Naturally, I woke up in the afternoon the next day. Since Chris had to be in school for her exams, Aba and I just went to Ayala Mall and checked out Terraces. The last time I was in Cebu  in July 2008, this part of Ayala Mall was still nonexistent. It took less than a year for the new wing to be built. And it was huge! It’s like Trinoma and Greenbelt rolled  into one. The architectural structure was so beautiful it was like I never left Manila at all. I felt so at home. Hehehe.

We checked out Mooon Cafe. It’s a restaurant that originated in Cebu. In fact, I don’t think we have a Mooon cafe branch in Manila. They offer Mexican inspired dishes so we ordered quesadillas, coke zero for Aba and Revitalizing Smoothie for me (made of mango, pomelo and some other fruits). The taste of the quesadillas was okay and the ambience was cool. On our way home later that evening, we  passed by the original branch which was a house turned into a restaurant somewhere in the city.  It looked so awesome, like one of those cool restos in Bali, Indonesia.

Cebu City One Day Tour - Ayala Mall, Magellan's Cross, Fort San Pedro,

The next series of travelogues that  I will be sharing with you consist of three weeks worth of vacation,  touring parts of Visayas and Mindanao two summers ago.  This was the time when both of us were able to scrimp the P40,000 we saved up for this adventure and learned the art of backpacking by experience. Come, join us on our journey and explore the beauty of our country. Maybe next time, we can do a backpack tour of Asia and Europe as well. *crossing our fingers now*

  Enjoying the tourist accommodation…  “I’m the queen of the wold!”

April 9, 2005, Saturday, we boarded Superferry 18. Since I was a kid, I’ve been riding the WG&A ferries with my parents. But this time, it felt different. Maybe because I was with my husband and that made a whole lot of a difference. We got tourist type of accommodation and we got to share it with a bunch of middle-aged public school teachers who were also doing their own backpack adventure that I got to share with them some tips I know about Cebu from what I researched on the internet. They were very thankful and I was glad to help.  

Look at the very spacious and sparkling lobby of Superferry 18…

Anyway, we treated the whole trip like a cruise. Staying at Superferry 18 was a mini vacation in itself. The ship looked like a hotel with a very nice lobby, internet cafe facilities and a restaurant bar comparable to what we have in the city. Peter and I really took advantage of everything the boat has to offer. And the food really aint that bad.
