Cebu: Queen City of the South

Cebu, the well known "Queen City of the South" is in the center of the Philippine archipelago. It is surrounded by bigger islands, to the west is Negros, Leyte and Bohol to the west.

Mactan, a small island northwest of the main island is the tourist capital of Cebu. There are several 4 and 5 stars hotel surrounding the island because of white beaches, and also famous for dive sites. There is also a smaller island called Olango. It has also become a marine and bird sanctuary. So, I don't wonder why many foreign tourists choose to spend their vacations here in these island resorts.
Just recently, me and my family spent our easter weekend in the southern part of Cebu. We rented rooms for an overnight stay in Divemaster Resort. And early the next morning, we crossed a channel in a pump boat and went to Sumilon Island, once there we enjoyed snorkeling and saw colorful fishes and corals.

We had pizza for lunch in a Filipino style castle in Argao, Cebu which is built with stones and rocks.
