Trip to Cebu - Day 2

Our second day in Cebu was sort of uneventful. We went to my relatives' place in Lahug in the morning up until noon before going to Mactan Shrine. We intentionally skipped Magellan's Cross knowing that it's in a crowded place, according to my research.

Mactan Shrine is located in Mactan Island, Cebu and is dedicated in honor of Lapu-Lapu, Ferdinand Magellan, and the Battle of Mactan. The shrine was erected on the supposed spot where the battle took place. (source: http://explorephilippines.org/destination/mactan-shrine)

The monument of Lapu-Lapu

Although there were lots of vendors selling souvenir items (which was common in tourist spots), the shrine was organised and clean. I could see that the locals are really taking good care of the place. You would find monument dedicated to Magellan and another monument dedicated to Lapu-Lapu.

After looking at the whole place and taking some photos, we went to our next destination, which was in Cordova, Cebu to visit another relative. We had a sumptuous dinner after a short meet and greet and headed home. I was personally hoping our third day would be the fun I was looking for.
