Philippines - 2017

There was little chance of us getting in to the cathedral in Cebu with the Sunulog Festival on, one of the biggest in this part of the world. We found a good view in an upstairs dining area of 7-Eleven, watching the crowds partaking with mass on big screens.

Hardly anyone was in the fort. I think everyone was at the mass at the cathedral!

St Michaels Church, Argao. The wonderful ceiling murals are considered amongst the finest in Cebu.

The 200 year old church on the east coast of Cebu island.

The altar of the church of Boljoon, the oldest in Cebu.

Another wonderful building on the eastern coast of Cebu.

Sometimes, when you can't find a place to stay, a place to stay finds you! Wandering, bedraggled and disheartened, a couple driving past said they had a room they could rent to us. This was our outlook.

Again, many apologies for the bad photo, but I really did want to show something of how beautiful it was in the water here.
