    So far it is still the same, so when dry rather dusty and when wet I suppose your car will turn into white.

    Last Friday I took the 09:00 am ferry to Lilo An. Till Carcar it took 2 hours and from Carcar (using the diversion road) till destination via the coastal road (Fuente Osmena in Cebu city) 1,5 hours. Between Carcar and San Fernando there's a road construction. As a result only one lane which causes traffic jams.

    Today was a b*tch of a day. My lady got to Sibulan port at 11:30 and the fast craft filled fast and left at 11:50, but she could not get a seat on the bus. It was already filled. So she waited in Liloan until 1:10 PM to get a Ceres bus to Cebu and just arrived at 7:10 PM so on a busy Friday that 4 hour trip becomes 6 hours and the wait for a bus gets longer. She could have fixed that by being at the Sibulan port at 11 am to catch the 12 noon ferry. She would have knocked at least an hour off her wait times and her trip.

    As has been said, take the bus early Sunday morning if ya gotta go.

    It makes you think when reading about the Genoa bridge disaster who may have survived if they had perhaps not rushed. The lorry driver who stopped a few feet from the edge reported a car overtaking him just before the collapse - that car went over the edge.

    But, to destroy my own argument, there may have been some who by rushing were off the collapsed bridge when otherwise they would not have been.

    Security in life has no sure answers so both posters above must be correct - just slow down and enjoy it while you can.

    I normally do the night ferry to Cebu from Dumaguete and then the bus back. Was hoping for something a bit better w/o needing to fly but guess that's still it.

    Far as the bus to/from it ranges from 5-7 1/2 hours depending time of day and traffic along with whatever wait for the bus. From Cebu I would often take the noon or 1pm bus and wouldn't arrive back until 8pm give or take. 3am morning bus from Dumaguete though will often take you 5 hours total.

    By Air
    Getting to airport early enough to check in and get though security = 1 hr
    Flight is delayed = average 1 hr
    Flight = 45 minutes
    Getting through arrivals terminal and then waiting in line for taxi = 1 hr
    Ride from Mactan to Downtown Cebu = 1 hr
    Total = 4 hr 45 min

    By Land
    Fastcraft from Sibulan to Liloan (including wait time) = 45 min
    Ceres bus from Liloan to Downtown Cebu = 4 hour
    Total = 4 hr 45 minutes

    Such is my experience. Your mileage will vary.

    O-
    How far is it from Cebu to Santander? A bus ride from DGTE to Tayasan (about 100 km) costs around 100 pesos also. (In switzerland with that amount you could not even ride with the bus to the next bus stop 400 m away.)
