We're officially back in the Philippines and we're on the southern tip of Cebu. We came back to cash in some rain checks from adventures that we missed on our first trip to the island last year. We are about to go to canyoneering through the rivers, waterfalls, jungles, and—you guessed it—canyons of Alegria.

We’re at Hong Kong airport but not for long because we’re about to hop on a 3-hour flight to take us to Cebu City (one of our favorite places in the world). Then we have a 3:45 minute drive to get us to the southern tip of the island where we’re gonna have an incredible few days at the Fantasy Lodge.

By and large, the food we’ve encountered in the Philippines so far has been relatively tame. But that all changes today because we’re on a munching mission and Cebu City offers the most colorful collection of culinary kicks in the country. From fishballs to horse balls, blood to intestines, and eel babies to duck embryos.
