5 Days: Mactan-Camotes, Cebu

A close friend invited me to Camotes Islands, Cebu in August to celebrate her birthday. She already booked the earliest flight from Manila to Cebu on August 11, 2017 via Cebupacific. Her return flight was on August 15, 2017. Since she will pay for our accommodation, I agreed and booked the latest flight to Cebu on August 11. I had work and the trip will cost me two vacation leaves so I told her I cannot accompany her on the earliest flight. We decided to meet in Mactan, stay overnight in a hotel, then head to Camotes Islands the following morning.

Camotes Islands is composed of Pacijan Island, Poro Island, Ponson Island, and Tulang Diot Islet (above Pacijan Island)

Day 12, Thailand

THE DATE: May 2, 2012

THE TRIP 

07:00-08:00          Our airport transfer is scheduled to pick us up from our hostel around 1:00PM, in time for our 3:40PM flight back to Manila via Tiger Airways. That gave us the whole morning to do what we do best… shop. Do we really have the time? Don’t malls open around 10AM? Will we make it back before 1:00PM? These are some of the questions I asked myself and divimom. We don’t know but we decided to go anyway. Transportation: 12 THB each

Khao San in the morning. Can’t believe this is possible. Look, even birds! =))

Day 10, Thailand

THE DATE: April 30, 2012

THE TRIP 

09:00-09:40          Because of the sudden change of plans, I had to google famous malls in Bangkok. I did that the night before by renting the computer in Thara House. That morning, I also asked the receptionist the bus number that will take us to MBK. We boarded a non-aircon bus in front of Thara. Transportation: 7 THB each

09:40-19:20          Our first mall is MBK.
