Last August 29-31, 2009 Travel Ta Bai went to Cebu to experience a new adventure in life together with the Co-CDOBLGGERS and some friends. This trip was planned two (2) months ago; we went to Cebu for three reasons. 1st is for business reasons 2nd is to try and experience the first and tallest Edge Coaster in the Philippines and their Cebu Skywalk and Edge Coaster which is located along Osmena Boulevard Cebu at Crown Regency Hotel and the 3rd and last is to meet the Cebu Bloggers Society (CBS).
We arrived in Cebu ahead of our schedule, so instead of getting a taxi to ride on to the city, we decided to walk and explore their airport the Cebu Mactan Airport. We just simply ride a jeep going to Mandaue and approaching Mandaue we hire a taxi to our next destination, the Pacific Pensionne House. After check-in, we text ChiQ Montes to meet us at Crown Regency to start our first freaky adventure in life the Edge Coaster which is located on the 38th floor of the Crown Regency Hotel (521 feet below the ground). Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this hotel is the tallest in the Philippines. The experience of the Edge Coaster is so atrocious that you feel you are hanging at the building, The position of the coaster is like 45 degrees angle but your position is 90 degrees angle, but you have an option on what angle you would like because you are the one who controls the angle of the coaster.
After this weird adventure of Edge Coaster, we try also the Skywalk which is located on the 37th floor of the hotel. So from the 38th floor, we go down just one floor for the Skywalk adventure. In this adventure, we just walk the path around the Regency Hotel and the experience is just like moonwalking with our nice attire suit, and harness for our safety. But before we walk around there is a short briefing for our safety. After these two adventures, we received a certificate of survival.
On the next day of craziness in Cebu, we tried the Kart and it was so fun. For 300 pesos per person plus 25 pesos for the rent of their helmet which is 325 pesos all in all, you can now ride kart for 30 minutes which is not enough for fun.:-). And by the way, before I forget, we failed to meet CBS and only ChiQ met them:-( But we are waiting for you guys in Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 🙂
And by the way before, I forgot we fail to meet CBS, only ChiQ meet themL
you had one great weekend in cebu! 🙂
Too bad your 3rd itinerary didn’t push through. We’ve only met Chiq. We were waiting for you guys at Mooon Cafe and I guess you were all too tired from the trip. Anyway, I’m sure you had fun here in Cebu. We’ll see you soon on the MBS3.
Cheers!
Nice photos of exciting adventure tours & travels…
