"Jumping Around Cebu, Philippines!" Cebu City by jumpingnorman
Cebu City Travel Guide: 486 reviews and 1,429 photos
Here's my wife and I visiting Cebu, Philippines - before we had our twins.
Cebu City is also a major metropolis, but smaller than Manila and less crowded. I enjoyed the beaches a lot, and went jogging on the sand, swimming in the sea ---- and before I knew it, I was already getting a heat stroke! I thought I could still manage it, but I just collapsed by the time we arrived at another resort (called Plantation Bay). So, just a warning for you "balikbayans" (Filipinos living abroad visiting Philippines) - you might think you are still used to the humidity, but you are not!
But still, we enjoyed staying at this wonderful place - and I still can feel the way I carried my wife in the picture above and how the rocks felt as I was trying to climb them....great memories!

Hi, Norman! You have traveled together a lot! Good for you!
Great Hotel tips Norman.
I'm hoping to visit in a month or 2. The hotels are great help! I'll check up on those 2.
Awww, wonderful HP. You two look so happy! Nice page!
Sounds like an increadible place to stay.
Amazing to bump into a distant relo there Norman :o) I like your opening pic :o) Cheers, Ann.
That beach looks good to me.!!..sounds like you had a great time here..
I had to choose between Cebu or Boracay. In the end, went to Boracay. SL :)
This is my favorite city in the Philippines! :-) Looks like you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the OTAP is a Cebuano specialty & I have it listed as #3 on the Cebu "food" tip page. Cheers!
