I was bored one Saturday morning so I decided to invite two of my friends to visit Danao. We had no idea which particular place we would visit there. We just wanted to be spontaneous like Dora.
So we decided to meet at SM in the afternoon and rode a jeepney to Danao (27). We had no idea where to stop but just decided to ask the konduktor to drop us near the church. We each paid Php35 for the fare.
Upon arriving, we then looked for the church which was facing the sea. The name of the church was Sto. Thomas De Villanueva Parish Church. It looked like those old churches found in the southern part of Cebu.
We then lighted some candles to offer prayers and to pay some respect for the church. We then decided to go to the plaza which was just nearby. It was pleasant since it was also near the sea. The view was nice and I've always loved the sea breeze.
We also saw a lot of boats nearby and some locals gathering seafood. We also saw some little crabs near the shore which were kinda tempting to catch. We then decided to go to Danao Fish Port hoping to get a glimpse of how it's like but it was already 3PM so it was all deserted. We then just decided to grab a bite at the 2nd floor of the fish port and enjoy the view.
We munched on siomai and halo-halo while taking in the scenery of the place. The halo-halo was surprisingly delicious at Php35. I would gladly prefer it over the one in a famous fast food chain.
The scenery was just so serene I could stay there all night. The sea, the simple lifestyle of the people, it all seemed surreal to me. It was beautiful and peaceful at the same time.
Too bad we only spent half a day there. If we had more time, we could have explored other beautiful spots in Danao. But in that half of a day, we already saw a lot of its beauty and it was really worth it. If I can go back there again, I'd definitely want to see more of its beautiful places and share the experience with everyone.
