Sinulog sa Cebu: Day 4

Today's the day! It is the Sinulog Grand Parade Carousel, the Mardi gras Philippine version.





The parade of floats, higantes (translation: giants), dancers (or contingent) with their Sinulog queen would be marching their way to a 7-kilometer road. It would start and end at the Cebu City Sports Center. The first contingent would be performing for the judges at the stadium, then march their way along the 7-kilometer stretch of road. Once they reached the stadium, the first contingent would again perform, signifying the end of the parade.

But, we do not plan to finish the parade as we would be leaving Cebu via Cebu Pacific flight 5J574 at 9:50PM. Thus, at 6PM, we left the Teo-Fel Pension House and walked our way to Colon to catch either a taxi or a jeepney.

We managed to get a jeepney ride to SM Cebu where we had our dinner. From there, caught a taxi to bring us to the Mactan International Airport. It took some time before we were able to get a taxi (it seems kontratahan is the "in" thing). But then, we were able to be at the airport two hours before our flight.

Oh! There was a 40-minute delay...
