pic #4 is really nice!

[Astin]

Thanks. The sun sandy beach shot was taken on Mactan island, inside a resort called Microtel, I think its very new, about 1 month old only, near to Shangrila and Hilton, almost at the tip of the island.

Nice! Worth hopping over to nearby Bohol too... just an hour's ferry ride from Cebu... lovely place. Was there last year!

:Later,

Yes the beaches here are very nice, but currently the weather is not so good so got to wait for better weather. I may need a few months to finish touring around Cebu before hopping over to Bohol, and then Davao, then Leyte, wow, so many places to see.

Astin are you working there or having a long backpack trip in the Philippines? share more pictures if you can.

[Astin]

I am working in Cebu now, not much time for backpacking yet, still learning the pinoy way of doing business haha, of course will share more photos whenever possible.
