You bet I will! And I'm defo going back to Ging Gings for some of their sizzling chicken! TSD have their own restaurant as well now.Originally Posted by aposhark
Say hello to the threshers
Have a meal at Ging Ging's where I met my wife
Have fun
And what's wrong with lunch in SM? I meant the mall not the shop!
Any other suggestions?
Rochelyn & I ate in the food court of SM many times - very nice grub
Malapascua - there's a little place on the beach run by a German man and his Filipina wife called "Hippocampus". The food there was the best I had on Malapascua - Rochelyn & I had the Pork Adobo a few times and it was always excellent, as was all their food
Diving on Malalpascua - "Dan's Dives" is always good and Dan is quite a character - a very laid back American and fun to chat with. He has a deal where you get a free days diving after doing a certain amount of days with him, and his boat is never as crowded as the others.
The passenger pumpboats now use the beach around the corner from the main beach as there were too many boats and it was dangerous.
A lot of the seafront properties were taken away on bounty beach as they were too close to the sea, which was a nice touch.
Walk to the lighthouse one day, the children in that area are a lot of fun and you get a great view of the island. Actually, a walk around the whole island doesn't take too long and it keeps you fit and healthy.
There is an internet cafe in the Japanese restaurant but don't expect to see a web page updating in less than 5 mins.
Make sure you get to Maya before about 4pm for the public pumpboat to the island. If you don't, wait for other stragglers to join to split the "special trip" cost, but looks like you are travelling with a shed load so that will not be a problem.
Daanbantayan, where Rochelyn and I got married is very small, but has a market if you need anything, otherwise a bus to the bigger town of Bogo gets you to Guisano Supermarket, banks and ATM machines and many shops.
Sharks - "Thresher" comes from how people used to thresh crops in the old days - it is how they "whip" their long tails to stun their prey.
Buy a large water (25 l ?) from B.B's Lodging. Water is from the mainland and is very safe.
Great diving
Nothing wrong with the food as such agreed but I personaly find the Mall acoustic and ambiance off-putting especialy when there are so many great eating places within a £1.00 cab ride and excellent food to be had for 2-5 poundsRochelyn & I ate in the food court of SM many times - very nice grub

You could very possibly be right Keith, that would mean the wives going away from the MallNothing wrong with the food as such agreed but I personaly find the Mall acoustic and ambiance off-putting especialy when there are so many great eating places within a £1.00 cab ride and excellent food to be had for 2-5 pounds
I just found the food courts to be very convenient and then a cab ride back to the hotel.
Please let me know the names and addresses of a couple of good places in Cebu City so we can try them next time

Thanks Keith, must have missed your recommendations as the scanning was too fastexactly
Yup, me too. Plenty of choice there.Rochelyn & I ate in the food court of SM many times - very nice grub
I know Hippocampus, it's next to Thresher Shark Divers.Malapascua - there's a little place on the beach run by a German man and his Filipina wife called "Hippocampus". The food there was the best I had on Malapascua - Rochelyn & I had the Pork Adobo a few times and it was always excellent, as was all their food
We're going back to TSD as I know them and I like their operation. Andrea and Trevor have been very helpful in organising this trip.
That's interesting as that's where we stayed last time at White Sands resort (crap). But the tide goes out there a long way.
A lot of the buildings were half demolished last time and not fully cleared away which made it look worse. I went for a long walk around the island and videoed most of it. There were other buildings marked with a red cross for demolition which were a long way back from the beach.
Where's the jap restaurant then?
Not a problem, we have private transport all the way (I hope)
OoooooooooooGreat diving
As you come out of Ging Ging's Eatery (say hello to Ging Ging and the waitresses for me, of course they all know Rochelyn who worked there until an English Man "Mike" fell for her.......) walk along the track alongside Ging Ging's in the direction running parallel to the beach and the Japanese Restaurant is on the right hand side of the track about 3 mins walk from Ging Ging's
Isn't that back toward the Dolce Vita?As you come out of Ging Ging's Eatery (say hello to Ging Ging and the waitresses for me, of course they all know Rochelyn who worked there until an English Man "Mike" fell for her.......) walk along the track alongside Ging Ging's in the direction running parallel to the beach and the Japanese Restaurant is on the right hand side of the track about 3 mins walk from Ging Ging's
Follow my directions before, if you can't find it ask anyone - everyone knows where the Japanese Restaurant is
awww... must be tough for her... hehhe
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give on another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
very poetic!
time & space can lead you back together!
