Cebu Philippines, our last stop in the Philippines

We stayed in Tambuli Seaside resort in Lapu-Lapu City outside of Cebu for 4 weeks taking day trips to other sites. One thing I found interesting was Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, unlike many other cathedrals and churches.  The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral focuses much more on the history of religion in the city. Lapu-Lapu City is where Magellan was killed in 1521 on his trip around the world (He didn't make it all the way around).  We found the Filipino people a very peaceful people always smiling and willing to help.  However, it's very poor here and they work hard every day.

  1. And the journey continues - good on you guys. Thanks for allowing me to journey through your pictures. I think I recognize the spot where you guys were on the hill in Hong Kong. Believe I was at same place during my time on the USS Ranger and we stopped in HK while it was still under Britain. Great shopping but Noel was not able to join me.

    Our cruise to Europe seems more distant that a couple years but is a good memory. Was looking at pics of our walkabout in Barcelona the other day. Keep on Truckin' and stay safe.
