The Davao Experience: The-Supposed-To-Be-Rafting-Experience-But-Not and San Pedro Cathedral

This is the sixteenth part of our 4-days-3-nights Davao Experience.

Originally, our itinerary for our day 4 in Davao consists of trying out the Famous Wild Water Rafting. We were able to try it out during our CDO trip but our 2 friends have no experience with rafting yet. But, the night before, when we were fixing our stuffs, anxiety and fear kicked in among us and after hours of thinking, deliberating, deciding, and coming up with a good excuse to back out, we decided to cancel our rafting trip. So our day 4 in Davao now consists of just relaxing and touring some parts of the city we were not able to go to. Our 2 friends opted to do the relaxing part and just stayed at the hotel, but not us! We set off to explore the city proper again!

For our first stop, the San Pedro Cathedral. It is the oldest church in Davao City and was named after Saint Peter, the patron saint of Davao. It is located right across Sangguniang Panglungsod ng Dabaw (City Council) Building. Several establishments as well as tourists sites are located near it such as the Osmena Park, Rizal Park, Museo Dabawenyo so if you're planning a city tour, stop here first to tick off the other tourists spots in your lists. Anyway, be sure not to miss the Bell Tower which houses an image of the Pieta and two tablets of the 10 Commandments of God but we were not able to go inside since it was locked up. We also were not able to go inside the church itself because there was an ongoing mass when we were there. There are also several stalls at the side where you can buy some religious stuffs, etc.
