Cebu - we're back!

Cebu: 19 January - 25 January 2012

Kung Hai Fat Choi! Once again we make the most of our Chinese New Year holiday and we head back to Cebu - to the lovely Serena Resort where we also went last year. Just like last year we had a fantastically relaxing time. We chilled in the 'cubes' every day and read a lot. Astrid made good head-way on War & Peace. Snorkling on our first day we already saw 2 turtles just out on the house-reef amongst all the corals and fish. This year we also added diving to our itinerary in order to keep practicing our PADI skills acquired in the Maldives back in October. On our diving explorations we got to explore a small lane wreck, Pescador Island amongst other divesites and we saw a lot more turtles, some black tip reef sharks, lion fish, garden-eels, a cuttlefish spewing black ink, cute yellow black spotted box fish, a fat puffer fish, many nemo's and countless others (we think we even saw a swarm of sardines). On our final day we went to swim with the whale-sharks - the gentle giants who came to this spot in Cebu about 2 years ago and now are being fed to stay there and to entertain the tourists. We also were treated again to a dinner on the beach which is always a very pleasant and romantic experience...
