Cebu City by Foot and Jeep

July 7, 2011
Cebu City, Cebu

Cebu was the first destination of the 4 day Cebu-Bohol vacation. We had one day to explore Cebu! Being wise spenders (or "kuripot") we opted to get around Cebu mostly by foot and by jeepney rides. (Click to see jeepney routes in Cebu). I've been to Cebu a lot of times before, but taking it on by foot and jeep made this trip truly a unique experience.

We stayed at JY crown palace at only Php 300 per head. It was a bargain, and the place was pretty decent. So after after checking in, we started out on our tour of Cebu City.

We started off at the Philippine Toaist Temple (~1 km from JY)
We walked 700 m to Gordon Ave then we took the 17B jeep to Fuente Osmena



We had lunch at Larsian BBQ near Fuente Osmena


From Fuente Osmena we took the 21B jeep to see Magellan's cross


then off to the Basillica Minore del Sto. Nino de Cebu

A little prayer to the Sto. Nino


After which we walked across to fort San Pedro

We lounged for a bit inside the triangular fort

Then we walked! first to Pier 1 to check Bohol fare rates of Ocean Jet,

then to Pier 4 to book our tickets with Supercat
We decided to take a short jeep ride (12 G) from pier 4 to SM for some snacks


In the evening we set out to enjoy the view of the City at Crown Regency
We did the sky walk and had dinner buffet

We took a taxi to Crossroads for K1 family KTV


Then finally walked to 'The Walk' of Asiatown IT park
to signify the end of our Walk in Cebu
