My first morning in Cebu, I woke up very early. It was still rather dark, maybe it was around 5:30ish. I wanted to eat some
puto (sticky rice steamed with coconut milk and ginger) and
sikwate (bitter hot chocolate), so I asked the guard of my inn where I could find some. He didn't really know exactly but he pointed me to a certain direction. I did find some, and so there I was, eating on the street.

This is the
puto wrapped in banana leaves. And that's my hot chocolate--I think they didn't have
sikwate, so I had to settle for hot chocolate from a packet.

Afterwards, I decided to walk around a little. Here are some shots of the Cebu Capitol, the seat of the provincial government. I like that plant sculpture that's on the street divide.

Here are a couple of pictures of some jeepneys, the main form of transportation in most of the Philippines.
