Hi guys, I'm in cebu at the moment. 2nd time I've been here this year , not really a lot to do after you visit the usual places. Going to Layte this Sunday, any advice from anyone that has been there before, i.e places worth visiting.
Also any suggestions about where to go after layte, I would like to see a few places before heading back to manila,

If your heading to Tacloban area, look out for Santo Nino Shrine, a rather enormous palace built for Imelda but never slept in. You'll find a massive collections of antiques as well as personal gifts from all over the world. If World War 2 is of interest, check out an exhibition of photographs of the Leyte landings at Alejandros Hotel. Theres also the Landing Memorial at Red Beach (get jeepney to Pawing Palo then tricycle down to beach).
Take a look at our website Click Here as we have many pictures of Tacloban and surronding area.
I dunno if you have a hotel arranged but avoid the ones sited on the main street - its so noisy there - if you can afford it, go for Alejandro's in a quiet part of town.
Have fun!
