More than a month ago, we traveled to Cebu to fulfill the biometrics requirement for our visa application. We opted to stay at the Hop Inn hotel for four days, located at Ayala Business Park, as it was only a five-minute walk from VFS Global where the biometrics were processed. After completing our biometrics in just 15 minutes, we took the opportunity to visit some of the famous tourist destinations in Cebu, including Ocean Park and 10,000 Roses. My daughter, Chesska, who is a fish enthusiast, was thrilled to explore Ocean Park, a fantastic and kid-friendly place. Moreover, it was a perfect time for my children to unwind and de-stress as they had just finished their exams. Kindly have a look at some of our captured moments below.

The following day, we visited 10,000 Roses, a place that I had seen frequently on social media. Although it was quite far from our hotel, we didn't want to miss the chance to see it. The location is near the beach, giving it a lovely ambiance. While the roses are artificial, their sheer number and uniform color make the place captivating. Moreover, this kind of tourist attraction is uncommon in the Philippines, attracting many visitors despite the distance from the city. As first-time visitors to Cebu, we took advantage of the opportunity to explore this place.
