When my old camera is still working, I go to places up north just to photograph some old Catholic churches. Then I had the opportunity to visit Cebu City for the first time. I was not able to see the Roman Catholic churches because my cousin brought me here.
Oh by the way, this place is a perfect uphill training ground, 6kms north of downtown Cebu, about 300meters above sea level. After 99 steps, you will be rewarded with the view of Cebu City, Mactan Island and the neighboring Bohol island. A perfect sunset too!
This was actually part of my first solo backpacking trip last August 2008.
