a friend called on thursday morning saying he wants to go to the beach. i said yes without even knowing the plans. so on sunday morning, there we were, b-boy, harry and i loaded in the car without any concrete plans but just to drive 2 hours north to tabuelan --- a remote town with white sand and blue waters. of course we had to get more friends. so lyndon and his family tagged along.
it was funny because when we got to the small resort of "durhan's," my friends' jaws dropped because of how beautiful the place is and how inexpensive the rooms are (P1700 or $35 for an air-conditioned room with hot water and cable tv...clean too!) they kept saying, "SULIT!" (which means, perfect for the price!)
cebu north road trip musts (mostly on food!):
- fill up your tank with gas and have your tires checked
- buy ice cubes and drinks at a local sari-sari store near the city
- pass through the new road from mandaue to amara liloan (took us there from north reclamation to liloan in 15 minutes)
- buy lechon (roasted pig) in kilo in liloan
- buy kinilaw in liloan (this is raw fish in vinegar, onions, ginger, tomatoes and fresh chili)
- buy roasted chicken at chooks-to-go! (yummy!)
- buy tinap-an (fresh smoked fish)
- buy humongous hanging rice (rice cooked inside coconut leaves) for only P5 each
- play music and sing along
- talk about whatever -- even the sights you see on the road!
