Filthy Rich in Cebu

Liz and I planned to go to Cebu before attending a wedding in Dumaguete since we were given long vacation leaves. We were not sure where we will stay in Cebu so we just phoned one resort while we were waiting for our flight. It’s a good thing the resort we stayed in offers airport transfer so we conveniently arrived in the City. The resort was in Mactan Island and we found out there was no other means of transportation going to the City proper. I was not sure if that was a good idea but the resort owner also owns a rent a car service so for lack of choice we gave in.
The resort was a haven for divers. It has a pool but their beach is not the ideal beach you always picture when you’re in Cebu. But as a consolation, the food was great and the service was above standard. Touring the city proper required us to rent a car. It was expensive but we were able to see some of the landmarks in Cebu. One has to try manok bisaya (but I have personal bias in Bacolod Inasal). As the night fell, our service picked us up in Ayala Center Cebu, concluding our being filthy rich. The magic of plastic card worked in Cebu but the experience was priceless.
Moral lesson: plan your trips properly.
