and it's my first day in Cebu City I've been busy shopping working
organizing getting food and I have this spectacular sunset for the evening look at that
so when you grabbed your taxi giving him directions make sure he knows where you
going the meters the meter then starts 40 then goes up three meters 3.50
peso per 300 meters if unfortunately you should get a taxi
driver who refuses to put the meter on and says I'll give you a fixed price the
fixed price is never gonna be cheaper than the meter just ask him to put the
meter on or get out the text you find another taxi now the way they regulate
the airport makes that very unusual to happen but it does often happen in the
city and especially at the ports so don't be afraid to get out the taxi if
they don't put the meter on but otherwise they're fairly good make sure
the meter is running sit back and enjoy the traffic
traffic
okay and I've arrived at my accommodation let's have a look and see
that's a nice little studio apartment on the 14th floor and, I'll just close the door behind us it's
got a kitchen kettle microwave hot plate fridge and a freezer a huge TV seating
area there's a bed wardrobe and there in the corner there is the Internet
it's got wifi, I'll test that out balcony over the city that's not
a bad view hey? Look at that there's the waterfront hotel hopefully get a
nice sunset from here right yeah that looks good hey I'm gonna be here for a
few days based in Cebu City get some work done get some editing get a bit of
rest plan the rest of my trip in the Philippines now this looks like a great
place to do it doesn't it 14 floors up there's also apparently a swimming pool
a gym there's a shop downstairs I noticed so it's not bad and I will put the details
of the accommodation down below for you and the price and the contact details
I have feeling this was under $20 a night but I may be wrong there I'll let you know
what it's like living here for a little bit but it looks really nice comfy bed
and look at that I don't know what channels I've got but wow, I've got a big
enough TV oh I haven't shown you the bathrooms yet, I haven't found them yet oh hear they are
so there we go okay a separate big electric heated shower and opposite
is the toilet it's all immaculately clean and really good condition
very very nice a city of Cebu the queen of the South the biggest city in the
Visayas and the central hub for exploring the visayas it's a good place to
go there's lots of flights in and out of here too and ferries and boats and
there's quite a lot to do on Cebu in Cebu itself and around Cebu so let's make
ourselves at home and show you what the Visayas and Cebu is all about you know
what's gonna happen now don't you? I need food I am so hungry I'm gonna explore
the area I'm not exactly sure I know Ayala big center is stood and out the
window I can see a place that's super store so I must be able to get some food
very very closely so now
let's go eat!
Hi, how you doing? No I'm at ocean jet advanced booking counter now
this is near pier one , actually at pier 1 is where you buy the tickets for the day
but if you're planning in advance like I have and you're buying your tickets in
advance you come here advance ticket station it's just off the street all the
information about the tickets is posted up here there is the fare times to the
fares what you do is in these boxes in a box this is a bit of paper
pick up and you write in your destination where you going departure
date what fare you want because there's three
fares in your open air where you sit basically open on the top there's
tourist class which is aircon inside and then there's business class which is
like slightly more luxury bigger seats on the upper deck inside as well so you
write your information on there then you queue politely with the other people like this
and when you get to the front of the counter you hand in your ticket you make
sure they get the right dates for you and then they issue a ticket which I'll
show you later when I finish queuing and then you've got a ticket so it's you can
check the Oceanjet do have a good website online with all the information
on it's got the schedules, the prices, they do keep it fairly up to date, you can't
as far as I am aware book online yet you do still have to come for advanced bookings and book here
so you can get all the information online write it all down
then come here and queue and buy your ticket check your ticket money away you
don't need ID to buy your ticket but you do need ID when you check-in on the boat
so remember to take ID with you when you travel
hope that helps
