Cebu....encore....

So....as promised....some random arb cebu stuff and boat trip....hmmmmm......ok lets start with the arb things....Check out the name of this laundromat.....and then next pic....mind the name of the restaurant and the type of food they serve....hmmmmmm......and then they have these taxis for all the locals called jeep...but the funny thing is how some of them are made up....they really bling them up...didnt manage to get a pic of the bling one....they look amazing...i loved them....but here is a pic of one that wasnt made up....so here is three arb....random.....pics....enjoy....

So....now to the boat trip...day started sunshine, blue sky....we drove to the neighbouring island called lapu-lapu where we went onto a boat...looked so cool....here is a pic

Then we waited for the spit pig...it was already barbequed because it would take too long on the boat...however....on the boat they gonna do a barbeque, i wanna call it braai but because im in cenu ill allow calling it a barbeque...for once, with squid, pork and chicken....so we left with the boat and it took about 1.5 hrs until we arrived at the sandbank in the middle of the ocean, literally....here is a pic when it was still high tide....and second pic is whEn tide was low.......amazing....

As we arrived, time to eat some pig....the crackling (skin) was so good...everyones fingers ripped pieces of the pig....i surprised myself by liking the skin and i even tried the ear...excellent, wow...did i just say that.....then some swimming, and then time for barbequed squid, pork kebabs and chicken kebabs served with rice and for dessert fresh mango, pineapple and bananas...wow....wot a feast...then more swimming, walking and of course drinking bubbly....or beer...or wine...and yes...of course i had bubbly...had some french one called fat bastard...very light...nice....the best for me..barbequed squid...the crackling and the pork kebabs....but i loved the ones that were burnt...so good....yummy...i think all of us ate way too much....unfortunately time to leave came way too soon....but it was neccessary cause it looked like heavy rain was coming.....in the end...thank god we left...heavy heavy rain came, and this is what the locals said...not just me....at home time to rest and finish the day with eating mudpie ice cream.....excellento....Here some pics from the day....Ps we ate in the water on the sandbank, they put the table there for us....so cool.....

Today...last day in cebu...slept long...lazy morning...and lunch was with sandros aunt and uncle at some place where you grilled your own meat on charcoal....was so cool....funny...i didnt really like the wagu beef, prefered the normal beef...but the grilled garlic cloves...wow....could have eaten millions of those...im sure i smell of garlic...oh well....always good if people around you also love garlic...otherwise...shit.....i guess i like garlic with everything, i was taught putting chopped garlic in olive oil over steak...and man...so good....ok....im getting hungry again....here some pics from lunch

So....cheers for now.....tomorrow ill be in Hong Kong....so then more from there....i guess it will be about food, food and food..And some bars with views....now im off.....Oh...almost forgot...after lunch sandro and fabienne went home and mom and i needed coffee desperately, so we went to a mall...on way home we got stuck for long....floods....couldnt get back to house....damn.....check out the pic below.....we had to wait for long until rain stopped and water slowly went a little down...but we did end up driving through it......hmmmm...oh well...i guess you know everything is ok cause we are sitting at the airport in cebu about to leave for hong kong....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

Image
This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim.

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
