Coming in to land at Cebu was interesting from the air as there were small islands many of which were ringed by glowing coral reefs. In one strange instance there was a giant coral reef which looked like an island but the actual island is a small land mass with dwellings in its centre.If I were staying in Cebu it would be interesting to go exploring these places by boat or diving, which most people usually do here.On descent many high rises were visible. Cebu is ...

My next destination I was excited about was the Taluksangay Village about 20km outside of Zamboanga where there is a famous floating Mosque.The tourist office told me it was safe to go outside the city and that I could take a jeepney from city hall to get there. I was to ask for the Councillor Nunio family when I got there who could show me around.As usual finding the jeepney was the tricky part as there were many parked jeepneys around city hall. They kept point...
