How to go there
Magellan's cross is located beside the church of Basilica del sto nino. Passed the street in front of the church, to the right is where it's located.
What to See
Preparing for our itinerary, I was getting confused with Magellan's cross and Magellan's Shrine. The two are actually different places. I was warned by people who went their that the place smells like pee, :lol: but luckily my super smell didn't catch that foul odor.

How to go there
From our hotel in Mactan Island, we commuted to get to Basilica del Sto Nino. From there, we walked to Fort San Pedro which is just a block away from the church.
What to See
If Cebu has a sort-of Quiapo church version, they also have the intramuros version, through Fort San Pedro. These places are different in looks though. Again, it's very much like Manila.

After Bohol, We took SuperCat's 10:30 am trip going back to Cebu.
We had no plan on where to stay there, but we definitely want somewhere near Cebu Beach Club since we'll be doing the underwater sea walk in that resort. We asked our taxi driver if he could recommend us some resorts near there that are cheap, but he pretty much brought us to all the hotels in Cebu that are expensive.
After a few more searches, a local recommended us the newly built Hotel Seaview Pension house.
