Its amazing to try walking on the sky. I mean literally but only with a plank. A transparent plank. So how does it feel walking on the 38th floor of a building while looking at the transparent floor? It feels as if your body is trembling but your insides are extremely happy. A feeling of satisfaction. That’s what I felt when I did the Sky Walk Adventure at the Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu.

Richard King, chairman and CEO of J. King & Sons, is proud of his brainchild. “The Crown Regency Cebu Sky Experience Adventure is the latest attraction in the world’s amusement industry. Nowhere else can you find an amusement center like this at the top of a hotel building.”

King declared, “We are definitely taking the hospitality industry to exciting new tangents. Our future hotel projects will also have rides and thrills similar to this.”

The rides at Crown Regency Cebu are not stopping with the Sky Walk Extreme and Edge Coaster. In 2010, the Insanity Orbit will take a bow. The Insanity Orbit, which is being installed at the 40th floor of the building, is an inverted centrifuge that will take passengers on a spin at up to three Gs. It will pull riders out in escape-proof seats to an angle of 70 degrees, tilting passengers face down from the top floor. The Insanity Orbit will be the second ride of its kind in the world, following the Stratosphere.

Killgore said, “The Crown Regency Cebu Sky Adventure is the total experience. We have the rides, the restaurants, the live bands, and the hotel. It is a one-stop shop. There is nothing like it in the Philippines. People interested in roller coasters must have thought that they only existed in other countries. Here in Cebu, it is accessible and reasonably priced.”

“All this is our humble contribution to our tourism industry. We are proud to say that Cebu is the only spot in the world where you can find this kind of excitement,” King concluded.

My hometown offers numerous delicacies and powdery white sands. I grew up here and discovered that we are all blessed to have such beautiful sceneries. Cebu is rich in history, if you plan to go down our roots, people will discover that Cebu has yet one of the best places in town.

One of the places I’m going to visit in the future is Bantayan.. Although it might not be the best time to go there .because certain thunderstorms have been passing around the country. I made some research and learned a lot about how to have a beautiful vacation only in Cebu, Bantayan.

Bantayan is a 2nd class municipality on Bantayan Island in the province of Cebu, Philippines.

It is the island’s more populous town, with a population of 71,655 people according to the 2007 census. It is bordered at the north by Madridejos and at the southeast by Santa Fe.

Bantayan Islands is geographically in the center of the Philippines. It is located at the northwestern side of Cebu and northeastern of Negros Oriental. It is a town of Cebu and is about 80 miles from Cebu City. The main Bantayan Island is about 7 miles wide by 10 miles long. About 20 of its islets stretch for another 5 miles long with some being accessible by foot from the main island at low tide. Mostly all the ships or ferryboats coming from Mindanao or south of Cebu have to pass by Bantayan Islands on its way to Manila. The Bantayan dialect is a mixture of native Cebuano, Ilongo (Negros), Waray (Samar), Masbateño, and Boholano, but it has words it can call its own such as “kakyop, sara, kag buwas“ (yesterday, today, and tomorrow).

Bantayan Islands is considered as Cebu’s fishing ground where shiploads and boatloads of fish are transported daily to Cebu City and Negros. Tons of guinamos (salted fish) and buwad (dried fish) are delivered to Cebu City and Cadiz, Negros for further distribution to as far as Mindanao and Manila. Equally important is the thriving poultry industry with hundreds of thousands of chicken eggs produced daily.

There a lot of resorts in Bantayan where you can stay overnight for as low as P 1600. If your from Cebu all you need to do is ride a bus going to Hagnaya for about 2-3 hours. After reaching Hagnaya, there is fast craft going to Bantayan which will probably cost you around 150 pesos. Finding your resort would be your choice, but I’m pretty sure everything there is beautiful and captivating.
