Crowds build up fast at Sumilon's sandbar by midmorning, wish the schedule had us there right at opening.
San Agustin Church's museum quietened even our restless eight year old for a full twenty minutes. Never expected a church visit to be a highlight but it genuinely was.
A nice trip pulled down a notch by a hot, crowded Sumilon morning that didn't match the quiet photos.
Sumilon Island's sandbar was pure joy for the kids, sandcastles and snorkelling till they were completely worn out. We stayed there far longer than planned and nobody minded.
Guide tried steering us to a pearl shop twice in Manila, otherwise the sightseeing itself was well planned. Kids didn't mind since there were snacks involved.
Beach days in Cebu followed by the history of Manila made a nicely balanced five nights for our family of four. Kids loved the sandbar at Sumilon so much we almost skipped the second half of the trip. Manila's old town more than made up for it though, especially Intramuros in the evening light. Solid itinerary for families wanting a bit of everything.
