Lapu-Lapu City Tour

Upon our arrival at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, we headed to the departure area for the metered non-airport taxi to have cheaper rates. We just followed the throngs of people crossing the street right straight from the arrival's exit doors and up the ramps. You'll easily see the taxi bay with guards in it upon you reach the exit on the second floor.

With our baggage with us, we dropped ourselves on our first landmark - Magellan's Shrine and Lapu-Lapu Monument. It was only about 15-20 minutes ride from the airport. This is advisable to be visited right when you arrived in Cebu or before departing out of Cebu since this is farther than the airport from Cebu City.

Here are the pictures I got in the park using my Panasonic LX5 camera:

Right after the park visit, we planned to have our dinner at a nearby SuTuKil (Sugbo-Tulaw-Kilaw) Restaurant. It was just around 10-15 minutes walk from the park, it was the same road that we took from the airport.

I haven't just had a picture of the sea weeds which you should also try. I just taste like okra. I enjoyed all our food. They taste really great and perfectly! The service is good as well; every request will be entertained without any hesitation on their faces. After enjoying our sumptuous meal, we headed to our Pension House. With the help of the restaurant's crews, we got our directions through riding only a jeepney. They can also hail a taxi cab for you if you like.
