The bus ride was on a long, windy road but it was worth it for the nice views.
On the other end of Negros in San Carlos we got on a boat (so did the bus) to go across to Cebu.
The boat ride took 2 hours and then we had to get back on the bus. You can see our bus on the ferry in the picture above. We had another 2 hours on the bus to Cebu City. We finally arrived in Cebu City at 7:00pm and met up with Donna - a sister who Nate served with on his mission. We went to a place called Jo's Chicken which is a chain they ate at during their mission. This is another place I have been hearing about for years. The chicken inasal was really good, served on a banana leaf!
Happily we were able to get a room in a hotel right next door to Jo's. We had planned on staying at another place but Donna told us it was at least an hour away. After being on a bus/boat all day we really didn't want to have to drive another hour, plus have to pay for the taxi to get us there. It also made it easier on us in the morning.

What a crazy trip so far! You are going to be so exhausted afterward but oh my goodness the memories! I wish that I could go see all the things Sterling has talked about on his mission. You have inspired me though because we have always thought it couldn't be done with kids! You go girl!
True that. ;) Too crazy fun. I hope that Jonas can remember some of these things too. I think Liam's old enough he'll definitely remember, but I hope Jonas too. So fun to get to see some of Nate's mission.
I hope that you got to go over to the temple construction! So cool! Brit, I'll not forget that I heard about that temple in your sealing as he told Sterling of it.
Waiting for Day 6... ;)
