It all began with a 5.30am alarm and a sudden jump out of bed to catch the 6oclock bus to Cebu city. Travelling through the Cebu’s eastern coastline, you get to see villages, resorts, towns and plenty of blue ocean. The route is scenic, but the journey is more of a nightmare. It seemed to take forever endless stopping and starting in an uncomfortable, claustrophobic environment for 4 hours, did take a toll on my enthusiasm. Still, even though we arrived an hour late, for 190php all about £3, it represents excellent value for money.
