I only spent a day in Cebu down to the earlier confusion with my flights. I was flying back to Manila for my outbound flight back to Kuala Lumpur, but I had earlier realised that there are 2 airports in Manila. The only problem being is that the other airport is located 3 hours away from Manila, and it would be a very close call to make the flight. I rescheduled my flight for a day earlier back to Manila.
It wasnt that much of a problem since Cebu had little to see, and it was the most expensive place I had visited in the Phillipines so far. I did visit the Magellans cross monument which was planted by Portugese and Spanish explorers 491 years ago, by orders of Ferdinand Magellan and I took a little peek at the Fort San Pedro....... both were fairly uninteresting.
Back in Manila, I arrived at around 11pm, and I was to soon find out that I had missed the final bus of the day to Clark International airport. Which meant that I had to spend the night in the bus station, it was lovely as you can imagine. The following day was spent in transit, first a three hour ride to Clark, then a 3 hour flight to KL, followed by a 4 hour wait in the airport for a 1 hour flight up to Phuket. From the Phuket airport I decided to continue down to Patong, which is the typical tourist destination for many brits making there way over to Thailand.
