This
is the vacation that we’ve mostly been waiting for. Not only because
I’d be turning 28 at that time and that we’d be staying at 5-star
hotels, but because Pa will be with us. The day we all arrived in Cebu,
we headed to Shangri-la Mactan for afternoon coffee and snacks. Tito
Pedro, Tita Annie (Pa’s brother and sister-in-law), Nipsy and Renault
(Peter’s cousin and cousin-in-law) were with us. We stayed there the
whole evening, dining at their seafood buffet by the beach. It was so
gorgeous, classy and marvelous! We had such a great time! Of course,
being the practical person that I am, I couldn’t help but notice that
when the bill came, it amounted to something like P15,000.00 inclusive
of P1,000.00 tip from Pa! And we didn’t even check-in. WOW! NALULA AKO! Hahaha!

Look at all the assorted cakes from the buffet table! Forget about dieting for now…Hehehe!
Happy together…
The next day, we headed to Bantayan Island and stayed at St. Bernard Beach Resort. It’s one of those cozy, more affordable resorts along the beaches of Bantayn Island. It is located only 15 min. walk or 5 min. by tricikad (bicycle with sidecar) from the pier. (*Reservation can be made by E-Mail: bernard@bantayan.dk or by phone +63-9179636162.)
