Ride to Argao from IT Park took us more or less an hour. That includes a couple of stops, like buying water, food, etc... Argao is located in the South of Cebu. It is one of the most visited place in Cebu because of its naturally beautiful beach, and friendly locals.

We stopped at the Carcar Public Market to buy a kilo of one of the best Lechon in Cebu.

One of the best lechon in Cebu is coming from Carcar. They also produce one of the best chicharon in town.

The lechonan is located at the back portion of this place. When you go to the south of Cebu, you shouldn't miss to stop over and taste the Lechon of Carcar.

You can buy the Lechon here at Carcar public market.

This is the sign you see when you're approaching to Simala. A very famous place for devoted Catholics all over the Philippines.

We passed Simala, a destination of our Catholic brothers when they're in Cebu.

Fresh fishes for sale.

Tips:

The cottages cost P 200.00 only. That's going to be a whole day of use.

Advantage

The water is clean, and the people are nice.

Disadvantage

If you're a fan of white beach, then it's a disadvantage for you. Also, the cottages are near the road, so there are passers by, and ocassional dusts.

Conclusion

Overall, I love going back to this place. I just love the beach because it's not muddy, and no sea grasses.

So I decided to take a boat going Cagayan de Oro. A week before, my mom asked me to go home because of my brother and sister's college graduation. I didn't hesitate as I was so excited to see her as well after months working in Cebu. I decided to take a boat because my shift would end in the afternoon and there's no available flight to Cagayan de Oro from Cebu in the afternoon. If there is I wouldn't be spending more than 3 thousand for a plane when I can spend over a thousand through boat, unless I really need to cut my travel time.

I went to SM City Cebu ground floor to buy a ticket. I checked the schedule for 2Go shipping and Trans-Asia and they both have night schedule. I was about to choose 2Go, but I remember that delay of this shipping is like normal to them. There was a time I was travelling from Cagayan to Cebu, their departure schedule should be 8 pm but they departed from the Cagayan de Oro port 11:30 pm. I will no longer take 2Go when going home to Cagayan de Oro.

Back to the ticketing both, I choose Trans-Asia shipping. I paid for tourist accommodation for around Php 1,200.00. I believe the difference is only a hundred from the Economy, plus you will get to enjoy the air conditioned accommodation, and free bedding and pillow.

I went to Cebu Pier 4 at around 7 pm, then the trans-Asia ship departed at exactly 8 pm. As expected they departed on time.

I went straight to my accommodation room and didn't waste time, I tour around the boat for a few minutes, then sleep. I was excited for the morning. I know the weather is good, and it's going to be perfect for picture taking.

The sun is starting to shine, and I have my camera ready. Time for picture taking! :)

Check out the pictures below. This is my first few days with the DSLR so, I don't have much knowledge with the settings. I was just playing around with it.
