Philippines Travel Notes · Part 1

The annual travel plan is based on the principle of one year inland and one year at the seaside. This year’s plan is the seaside ~ I don’t have to worry too much about complicated things like travel plans. I only need to be responsible for the food guide and all other transportation and accommodation are taken care of. To Big 7, save effort and worry... (visas, ferry tickets, and one-day trips can all be ordered on Taobao, which is very reliable and convenient, but you must print out the English version of the check-in form, pass, etc. in advance)

Since the only direct route from Shanghai to Cebu in the Philippines is Cebu Airlines, we chose a flight in the middle of the night. It should be noted that Cebu Airlines is a low-cost airline, and large checked suitcases need to be charged on a per-item basis. Each suitcase cannot exceed 20kg, and the weight of the package carried on the plane cannot exceed 7.5kg. Summer clothes are relatively light, and a large suitcase + two backpacks are enough for two people.

Departing at 18:30 on the 6th, arriving at the T2 boarding gate of Shanghai Pudong Airport at 21:30, and completing the check-in and departure at 22:30. The first thing is of course to rush to Rishang shopping! Fortunately, many things (except makeup, sunscreen, etc.) can be mentioned again, leaving a way for low-cost airline contestants to survive.

The four-hour flight was so restless that I finally got off the plane at 5:00 and went straight to the toilet. You will be asked to fill out an entry application form on the plane. There are templates online so you can prepare a guide in advance.

When you take a taxi out of the airport, there are white and yellow taxis. The yellow one is more expensive, and I don’t know what the difference is. It took half an hour to arrive at the ship, and after waiting for an hour, we boarded the ship. Arriving in Bohol in 2 hours~I was already very sleepy on the boat…

The MITHI Resort Hotel in Panglao Island, which was booked in advance, provides pick-up and drop-off services. When checking in, the waiter gave me a glass of lemonade, which was sour and sweet! (There is an episode here, because I arrived at the hotel early in the morning, and there were still guests who had not checked out of the reserved room, so I had to wait at the hotel for more than an hour... Also please note: Check-in in the Philippines requires a proof of stay, which is what you need on the app The booked check-in form must be translated into English. It is recommended to print it out in advance and bring it with you, which is more convenient.)

We had a simple lunch at the hotel. The lunch at the hotel was very expensive...but the pre-dinner bread was delicious. After resting in the room for 3 hours, we went to the hotel's private beach and swimming pool to swim and pose for photos. "The sea water is really salty." First Experience.

The water in the swimming pool looks like poisoned sea water. Although it has been treated, it is still very salty... Not far from the hotel beach, there is a small island, which looks like a love heart. The water from the beach to Love Island is not deep. You can walk there or rent a boat and paddle there. When you came back, you saw small jellyfish~~

We went back for a refreshment, and in the evening we went to Alona Beach to look for food and kill chickens. (Sea view hotels are generally relatively remote. A taxi to a large shopping mall costs 600 pesos one way. The tuk-tuk we took back from Alona can only seat two people. I thought it would be cheaper to take a tuk-tuk, but we ended up with two cars. It also cost 550 pesos)

Check in to the internet celebrity Jasmine Restaurant. The owner is Chinese, and most of the people in the store are Chinese. There are many people in the store, and the clerk asked us to sit on the opposite banana leaf. It is owned by the same owner. Xiaohongshu prepared a guide in advance and was a little shocked when I saw the menu. The "Specialized Chinese Series" was a bit expensive, but... I came here and ordered the signature seafood platter, pineapple fried rice, grilled pork ribs, and sixty-year-old." , the seafood platter is still very good, a big plate, and the pineapple fried rice is also a big plate, four people only ate half of it. My friend went to the store next door and bought the Internet celebrity grilled chicken, which was marinated and delicious. The children were all greedy and came in groups to beg for food...

After eating, I asked the clerk where the best place to eat is "". The clerk told me that there are many spa shops in Alona Beach, so I set off immediately.

I worked hard all over my body and chose some good-smelling essential oils. I took off my clothes and was pinched, not to mention the soreness and greasy feeling all over my body. After being pinched for more than an hour, my whole body felt refreshed. After the killing, go back to the hotel and rest.
