Has it been a week already since we went on our Singapore vacation? According to my student, 'flies time fast!' (hehehe!) It's like I haven't recovered from the miles of walking yet. Anyway, let me recall to you the week that was...
Day 1 Thursday: And we’re off! We went to Cebu by car. Counting the stopovers and waiting time, it was almost a 6-hour trip—1 ½ hours land trip from Bacolod to San Carlos, then a two-hour boat ride to Toledo, Cebu, then another 1 ½ hours land trip through the mountains to Cebu City. (My good premz Claring and Melizza called during this time from the States and we were cut-off when we were already in the bondooks—sorry for that premyas!)
We went straight to the Basilica del Sto. Nino, where we visit everytime we go to Cebu. It has been said that the image of the Santo Niño is the oldest religious relic in the Philippines. This was the same image that Magellan gave as a gift during the baptism of King Humabon and his wife Queen Juana on April 14, 1521. We lined up to pray to the historical and miraculous Sto. Nino for a safe trip to Singapore. (It was also a Holy Thursday and all the malls were closed, so I couldn’t queue for the cash register—hehehe!).We dropped by the Hubby’s aunt’s house to pay her a visit and give her our pasalubong from Bacolod, kamunsil. In return, the Daughter got another Korean telenovela disc, My Princess. Thanks, Lola Julie!
We checked into this small hotel in Mactan, the Gold Berry Suites. It’s new, but not pricey, and it’s very near the airport. Just what we were looking for. We slept early to brace ourselves for a long day ahead of us.
To be continued...
