Woke up early at our hotel, Summit Circle Hotel, had breakfast, pack our stuff and I decided to have a side trip in the City. Heres a photo of our cosy room.

Willan suggested for us to visit the historical ‘Magellans Cross‘ which is located just a few minute cabbie ride away from our hotel. But before we headed to that place, I first me a friend in Ayala Centre, Cebu City.

Cebu got a riding scheme when it comes to commuting, and i’m still not familiar with it, so taking the cab would be the fastest (and safest), specially for first timers.

After a short meet-up, I go back to meet my friends at our hotel.

Located at the busy Magallanes Street, the best way to go there is by cab. The historical landmark and tourist attraction is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu, Philippines on March 15, 1521.

It was a bit crowded when we arrive and constructions are also underway. They are currenly renovating the place. It wasn’t really as I expected, I thought it was a big cross as seen in photos but it wasn’t. This is how it looks like outside.

This is the famous ceiling inside.

I was so eager to have photos with the ballons being sold in the streets of Cebu (the church is near the market). We asked one sellers and barrow his balloons and did an instant photoshoots in the street.
