A Drive to Cebu City

Ryan needed to take a trip to Cebu City for work and we decided that we would take an extra couple days and go together as a family to explore the city. We've been there a couple times before but only for the night as a pit stop to some other destination. The flight is only 20 minutes but ultimately we decided to drive so that we would be able to explore on our own without being dependent on a taxi. I have to admit I was a little hesitant thinking of the 20 minute flight vs. who knew how long in the car with the three kids but I couldn't fight the logic of it all and off we went... all packed up in the Revo.

I was very surprised with the ease of the whole trip and how quickly it actually went. It only takes 1 1/2 hours to drive through Negros Island to a small town named San Carlos which is the port to Cebu Island. The drive is very beautiful and I have posted pictures of it previously. It's filled with rice terraces and sugar cane. It goes up to the top of the mountains and you drive through the clouds and small villages. It doesn't seem to matter how many times we drive through this Island, I'm always awed by it's beauty! We arrived with perfect timing; 30 minutes to departure. We parked the car in the boat and ventured around a while on the boat before going back down to the car to watch a movie for the remainder of the 1 1/2 hour boat ride. From Toledo to Cebu City it takes about an hour. Ryan used the GPS on his iPhone so we didn't loose our way once and it made the ride a lot more relaxing for me not having to constantly be on the look out for road signs that don't exist. Once we arrived in Cebu City it was time to start exploring and finding things to do.
