After a restless night's sleep (the pillow was too fat for my precious head). I was up early and used the opportunity to update the diary. Silas slept in well after everyone else was awake. We walked to Mr Poon for breakfast – Silas and I enjoyed delicious hamburgers.
After finishing in our rooms and checking out we took a cab to the airport. We toured from one end of the teminal to the other before finding the right check-in counter. After checking in and going through to the departure area we treated ourselves to a Mister Donut each.

The 1 hour flight to Cebu was a little rough, although we all took it well. Philippine Airlines served us a hot drink plus two biscuits, and (this is the best part) chicken adobo flavoured peanuts! Upon arrival the children got to see some traditional dancing just outside the terminal building. Then we took a cab to the hotel for the night. The taxi driver kept on saying that he was overloaded (seven people plus luggage), I said that he could just leave us at the airport and we would take a different taxi if he didn't like it. We stayed at the Castle Hill Hotel, it was quite good accommodation, but they still didn't have any proper coffee. I ordered a cafe latte in the restaurant and got a drink that tasted like a mocha made from a sachet. However the t-bone steak that I had for tea was very nice! Noah was very cute pretending to read the menu and say what he wanted to order.
Have you noticed how much of the blog is about food? Interesting isn't it. I wonder why?

Following dinner we all walked to the local shopping mall – it was huge (as seems usual over here). Sarah and Eden each bought a head band, and we bought some nappies for Noah. By now the children were making all the “I'm tired” signs, so we returned to the hotel by taxi and put them to bed. Bro Felcris did not stay the night, instead he went to stay with his brother who lives in town.
