Cebu Anniversary Getaway

It's been awhile that Boo and I have travelled alone (just the two of us) as lately we have been travelling with friends and family. 

In celebration to our 7th year wedding anniversary, Boo and I decided to spend it Cebu and visit the Miraculuous Mama Mary in Simala.

Full story of our visit to Mama Mary here.

August 7 - we took the first flight to Cebu and arrived at around 10am where we immediately headed to the South Bus Terminal to board the bus that will take us to Simala. The trip took us 2 hours to get there. Bus fare costs Php70 each.

Here are some photos during our visit to Simala:

And, here's my travel #OOTD for the day:

We headed back to Cebu around 2pm and arrived in Sampaguita Suites Plaza Garcia at around 6pm. 

Our first stop after our arrival at the hotel was to visit Sto. Nino which by the way was just across the street to where we were staying for 2 days. We love staying at Sampaguita suites because aside from it's a budget hotel, and is located right across the Sto. Nino church, it is also accessible to a lot of food chains. 

Next we took the cab that would take us to Ayala Cebu so we could take dinner. The taxi far costs around Php96. 

Unfortunately, Casa Verde was full at the time so we opted for Burger King instead and ordered whopper burger meals. We were not that satisfied with the meal but nevertheless it made our stomach's full. 

We strolled for a while and I got this cute hot pink iTouch 5th Gen case from Daiso for only Php88. How cute is that?

Here's my #OOTN:

We then headed to Starbucks to chill for a while and then headed back to the hotel as I was already dead tired from our long travel back and forth to Simala.

Getting a cab from Ayala was quite a challenge especially when you need to line up from the Taxi stand. It was a good thing that taxi's were available just right outside Starbucks where we replaced passengers who took the cab to reach Ayala. The trip back costs Php130 due to the heavy traffic.

The next day was our anniversary. As usual, our first stop was to visit Sto. Nino to pray and say good morning. 

We took a lot of pictures this time. Here are some photos: 

And my #OOTD:

We took our lunch at Casa Verde this time and Oh boy don't I just love their Brian's ribs. We also ordered dessert -death by chocolate which was a cake and ice cream in one. Our meal costs around Php600.

We strolled a few more hours, got tired and went to SM Cebu to watch Fantastic 4 in IMAX. Too bad it was not available in IMAX. The taxi fare from Ayala to SM costs around Php86.

So we just strolled around and look what I got from Forever 21, ain't they the cutest sunglasses? As for the pink sunnies case, I got it from Daiso for Php88. Another great find!

We got hungry when he headed back to the hotel and so we stopped over 7 Eleven for some snacks. 7 Eleven was just a few minutes walk from where we were staying in Cebu.

That night we took our dinner at McDonalds which was just right accross the hotel. It was already late to go around Cebu plus it was raining.

Our Sunday would not be complete without hearing mass and visiting Sto. Nino once again before we headed to the airport for our fligt back to CDO.

Here's my travel #OOTD:

Our short trip to Cebu was indeed memorable. As they would say, it doesn't matter where you are travelling, what matter's most is who you're travelling with that makes the travel memorable.

Until our next travel!
