- Cebu City is often referred to as the "Queen City of the South". It's a bustling metropolis with cultural heritage due to it being the oldest city in the Philippines.
Places we visited in this vlog:
▸ Sirao Garden Little Amsterdam - this is the original garden and you need to go in further past the first garden to get to it
▸ Sirao Pictorial Garden - this is the newer garden and is within a short walking distance of the original Sirao Garden
▸ Temple of Leah
▸ Tatang's - trying Cebu lechon is an absolute must! maps.app.goo.gl/FYvWk4v8fXRY6...
▸ Yap San Diego Ancestral House
▸ Heritage of Cebu Monument - just a short walk down the road from Yap San Diego Ancestral House
▸ Fort San Pedro
We hired a taxi from 9.30am - 1.30pm as to get to the Sirao Gardens and Temple of Leah then were dropped back into the city centre for lunch. It's a bit of a far drive and it was more convenient for us than trying to catch local public transport (using jeepney and habal-habal). We couldn't seem to book Grab for the journey either (even though Grab is available in Cebu) and we didn't want to get left stranded up the mountain so chartering a taxi seemed the best solution. We used Grab to get around for the second half of our day.

Jeepney's are such fun 😊. I never get sick of Peter's love of kai. Some of those monuments show how much wealth is in the Philippines, even though poverty is so common.
If only our stomachs were 5x larger so we could experience more flavors 😂
But yea quite a stark contrast when you travel around the different parts of each island
Yessss Cebu ❤
☺️✌️
Thank you for another beautiful vlog 🥰🥰 Love the temple of Leah & the old heritage home which is still so well maintained.
No worries glad you enjoyed it 😊 we found some nice gems in Cebu
There go my favourite travel vloggers! Thank you for visiting one of my favourite places in my country! 🥰⭐
😄 very kind of you to say ❤️ no worries it was our pleasure to finally visit the Philippines 🇵🇭
Cebu looks interesting. The Yap San Diego Ancestral House, especially. Good video, guys.
☺️ thought you might like the old merchant house. It was very interesting.
Thanks! I love your accent! I work with a gal from Cebu….. thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful!
😆 the good ol kiwi accent coming through
Oh wow welcome to the Phils
-watching from paeroa🥰
Thank you 😁✌️
Looks like you guys had fun! Looks to a very interesting city all up!
😁 yes it was a fun day out, Cebu is a convenient city to connect with nearby islands as well as other countries.
Little Amsterdam looked neat. Something out of a Fairytale. Yap San Diego Home even better! Oh, and we always make sure we've eaten before watching your vlogs...the food you show just makes us drool...😀
Hahahaha the lechon was really yum at Tatangs. Think about it from time to time with that yummy vinegar sauce 🤤
Tatang's lunch for Pete is the comfort right up there 😋. I am going for my roast pork tonight (as close as possible)
The old heritage house of Yap is so well looked after, really amazing and I am assuming that they did not install any fans in the house, judging from both Pete and Yen mobile fan
The Jeeps there is really well decorated 😀
Have a great week ahead, am adjusting to reality 😂, must stop this "work" thing
😂 you know L H I notice you always particularly enjoy the Crispy pork dishes. Good taste! That is one of yens favorites too.
The Yap house was very cool, such fantastic condition especially considering the tropical and humid climate of the Philippines.
Hi Peter & Yen!! How do you find Philippines so far?
I love your 'History meets Present' vlog... That's really cool you have been visiting a lot of historical places here in our country.
Also, Thank you for trying the Filipino warmth & hospitality.... especially the food. You will really both appreciate it. 🥰
Thanks Peter & Yen.. Mabuhay!! 😎🙏💖
Yo dude, we especially enjoyed our time at the islands with the beautiful beaches ⛱️ ate a lot of yummy food but thing I miss the most is the dried mango 🥭 got so addicted to those. Ate over 2kg in 2 weeks 🤣🤣😂
Must have been hot there for you both using a fan, we don't see that very often. Love the colours there, your camera work is awesome.
And thanks for cheering me up, you two are so much fun 😊
Whatever it was that got you down, we hope you're having a better fresh start this week 😊💪 the heatwave was in full effect 😅 shiny heads 24/7 😂
@@PeterandYen Shiny heads 😂 Must remember that one.
It's chronic nerve pain that gets me down, but I'm finally getting somewhere with the medical system.
Fun and entertainment help me to get through it 😊
Aw man sorry to hear that. One of our mates suffers from something similar too and it seems so challenging. Glad you're getting somewhere with it, wishing you all the best and freedom from the pain 🙏🏻
@@PeterandYen Thanks heaps 🙂
Those gardens looked like a lot of fun 😊 Do you know what the connection with Amsterdam is?
The replica Parthenon makes for a pretty cool self-storage building too 😉
It's always fun to watch Peter's expressions when he's eating something tasty too 😂
Hmmm the only connection might be a flight from Amsterdam to cebu 😂
I couldn't find anything online either the creator of the gardens must have just taken inspiration from there after a trip 😁
Ahhhh yeaaaaah jeepney!!! Hahahaha perfect!!! I jumped on a random jeepney in Manila just to see where I’d end up…had a long walk back to my airbnb 😂😂. Can’t go wrong with lechon😋😋😋. Looked super yummmmmm… Wasn’t sure what I pictured in my mind when I heard of Cebu, but definitely wasn’t windmills and Ancient Greek buildings😁. Really cool to finally see glimpses of Cebu! Thanks for the vid and have to say… more big hands but no puns? Boo..😂. Safe travels guys!!!
😂 lost jeepney adventures! That's the best way to travel 😂 though ending up in random areas of Manila might lead to some very interesting adventures 😅
The lechon was great especially that sauce! Went perfect with cutting through the fattyness of the meat.
We will start losing subscribers if yen continues down that path (with the puns) 😂
Yen here.. I dunno about what Peter's saying ay.. maybe we'll get a handful more 👀🤲🏻
@@PeterandYen Bra-vvvo👏 Braaaaaaa-vohhhhh👏And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you hand-le a heckler 🤣🤣. Well played 😁.
You guys rock🤣
The Sirao Garden is indeed picturesque and has a lot of Instagram spots 😍. I am drooling watching you guys eat those pork crackling. It's my favourite and I make it all the time with my air fryer without the filling of course. Lol at you guys for getting lost but there's a silver lining of it 😅.
😂 yen makes a really delicious version too! It's so good but dangerous for my own belly will start to look like a pork belly after eating so much of it 😂
@PeterandYen I know right. We love to have the pork crackling with banh hoi (fine rice vermicelli cake) and nuoc cham 😋. It's so easy to make with the air fryer. Our belly are already pork belly 😅
😂 that sounds so delicious 🐖 🐷
I can see you’re sweating! Hows the weather? I miss my homeplace. Avid fan here in NZ
The weather was very hot especially with the heat wave in Asia this year 😅 sweating every day 😂
Enjoyed your jeepney ride before they get phased out
Ooo really? They are so much fun, though. It'll be a shame to lose them.
@@PeterandYen Government want them replaced with modern ones, hopefully with the same look. It has been part of many Filipino's everyday life
Explore more Cebu do oslob and canyoneering 👌🏼
It'll have to be next time from cebu we went to bohol and stayed there for quite a while.
My two fav Aussies oi oi oi.
Aussie’s ?? I think they are kiwi’s 😉😊 NZ floggers
@@stewartl5109 same thing LOL
Oh the Jeep type hop on hop off type transport are called “jeepney” fyi 😊✌🏻
I didn’t quite hear what Yen referred to the transport.
Haha yea Kiwis ✌🏻 and yen got it right calling them jeepneys 😁👍🏻
Wonder where you're off to after Cebu, as lots of places to visit and see. Batanes Ilocos, Baguio, Tagaytay and of course the capital Manila
😁 we will leave it a surprise for next weeks vlog.
@@PeterandYen Makes sense. Enjoy Philippinesa and tho it is almost rainy season I understand it is still warm and humid out there
Not so impressive place when we went in sirao. Some flowers are just planted. Please come visit claveria and bukidnon-davao mountain resort.
