    Thanks everyone. Did one way today - 4.5 hrs from LiLoan to Mandau City (and what a God forsaken dump that place is) - solid traffic from Talisay all the way thru. I will never complain about the traffic in Dumaguete again.

    Here's a tip. When you come back, leave Mandaue about 4 am. You can get almost all the way to CarCar before the morning traffic gets heavy.

    Thanks - laziness won though, and we didn't start off till 9am. Stopped for a 'cold one' at Dalaguete - there are a couple of small resto's by the beach there - nice view, and simple food.

    For anyone who is driving to Cebu, The Maayo ferry added an early morning service yesterday. It leaves at 4:30 am and unloads on the Cebu side just as dawn is breaking. That meant I got a great ride as far as CarCar with next to nothing on the road as far as traffic. Breakfast at MacDonalds in CarCar at 7:45 and then traffic from CarCar to the city, but the trafffic was moving at a good speed so still a great trip.

    I don't know how long Maayo will keep that 4:30 am trip operating. Not many on it yesterday.

    Was that the sibulan ferry for 4.30 am or tampi-bato ferry? The Tampi-bato has always had a 4.30am ferry!

    That is the Sibulan Maayo ferry. Leaves at 4:30 (actually left 5 minutes late by my watch) and unloaded on the other side at 0530 (ish) so by 0630 I was having a 3 in 1 and donuts in Dalaguete. I remember stopping for breakfast in CarCar and being at my hotel in Talisay by 0930 (ish). I was so early that I did not think they would let me check in but luck was with me and the room was ready.

    Is that hotel worthy of a recommendation? I need to make a trip to the US consulate soon.

    It was just a pension house it Talisay. Only recommended if you have business in Talisay itself. Its too far from anywhere in central Cebu
