My vacation finally begins. My Actifit Report Card: November 4 2024

Now for the past week I've been with family. As far as vacations go that's kind of like a warmup lap in formula 1... you are restricted and can't do as you please.

Well today I had to Cebu. Judging from the morning weather I'm glad I left before it got worse.

Rain coming so hard you can't see through the windshield and flooding in the roads.

Which of course meant....

...... flight delays

Don't I just look so happy about spending more hours waiting in an airport lounge.

But in the end we finally got to our destination. Horray! But due to recent changes in the hotel they removed the executive lounge shortly after I booked our room. OUCH

Now they did replace it with a play area so I guess that is something.

Note the room is pretty nice.

Great bed

Great view

Giant bathtub

And the pools are really nice.

That is just one of the out four of them.

But the ocean view is the star of the show. Unfortunately we got in near dark and the beach closes at dusk so no going in the ocean.

Instead we settled for food and drinks.

The meat was really well done. Well except the hot dog. It was well grilled but what can be done to spice up a hot dog.

After dinner...

Dessert of course

We also checked out the shopping.

P6300 for a bayong (handcraft bag). Seems pretty steep to me. Sure it is hand crafted and yes this place is for big shots but still. P4000 for a bikini? I'm the USA maybe a steal .... but I know filipino prices and that's crazy.

And for @sej who told me she liked croissants I had to take this picture.

It is actually quite nice here but then again it's like being in the Philippines without being here. There are gates to keep locals out. There is plenty of fresh running water. Everything is clean and works. But it really isn't authentic.

As an example....

Now the public restroom from yesterday...

And another from a few days before.

And trust me... there are much worse.

I'll enjoy it here. It's nice to be on vacation but it doesn't really feel filipino here.

As for my steps 5k was pretty tough to get. Waiting in an airport lounge sucks for getting steps but wandering around a hotel and beach doesn't give loads to steps.

So I got 5k so here is my post.

More to come later

Thanks for dropping by

And if there are typos in doing this in my phone after a very long day.

Thanks for doing by 😉

Until tomorrow
