Paradise Lost

April 23rd, 2010

It was a sad day the morning we woke up and had to check out of our beautiful honeymoon resort. In retrospect we both wish that we had stayed at least another week. We were really just beginning to thoroughly enjoy the place when our time ran out.
PhotobucketSince our check out time was in the morning and our ferry ride back to Mindanao began at sunset we decided to have our driver show us some of the sights in Cebu in the meantime. Our first stop was a small store that had an excellent selection of dried fish. My aunt had asked me to pick up some dried fish and squid for her while we were there in Cebu because she said that was the best place in the Philippines to get it. After my husband tried some of that squid he wished we had bought a couple of pounds of it for us.
PhotobucketOn the way back to Cebu our driver told us of a beautiful Chinese temple over looking the city and we decided that would be our next stop. Then, quite by accident, on the way there we ran across a decorative kite flying competition and decided to stop there for a while. The kites were beautiful and amazing and the wind was just perfect for the occasion. We took many pictures and then proceeded on to the temple. We had a very enjoyable tour and arrived at the port just in time to catch our ferry back to my home island.
