Cebu City: Queen City of the South


It was on the 13th of November 2014 when my colleagues and I booked a flight to Cebu.We had a direct flight from Legazpi Airport to Mactan International Airport scheduled at 2:45 in the afternoon. We arrived at Mactan Airport after 45 minutes.

From the airport,we immediately headed to our hotel located at the heart of Cebu City. We checked in at Sampaguita Plaza Suites, which is just a stone throw away from the Magellan's cross and about one and a half hours drive from the airport.

Skywalk experience was superb! Got no choice but to conquer my fear of heights. The majestic scenery of Metro Cebu plus the beautiful sunset as the backdrop was a big help.
