Getting to Bohol from Cebu

And summer is here again.  My friends and I were planning on were to get away for the weekend at the start of summer.  There were so many places in mind and plans that we were not really sure if it will materialize.  They said that if you make a lot of plans it most likely remain a plan.

So enough of the plans, we just pack our bags and head to Bohol.  It isn't so far away, we just had to take a fast craft for 2 hours and we are there.  There are a few choices the oceanjet, supercat and there were also boats that perhaps would take longer than just two hours.  We reached Cebu Pier 1 at around 1:00pm.  We did not made reservations nor purchased a ticket before heading there.  It was pretty easy.  Although the line to purchase the ferry ticket was long.  I guess most people were also heading there for the summer.

Another friend of mine who is from Bohol suggested we take Oceanjet fast ferry.  So, that was the first one we checked out when we got to the pier area, however the departure was for another hour, so we decided to take the Supercat.  The fare was the same, 500 Pesos for one-way per adult and 380 Pesos for kids 7 years and below.  They told us that the fare would be cheaper if the ticket was purchased a few days ahead.  How much? I have no idea.  500 Pesos is not bad.  I was told the fare was 800 Pesos but we were glad it was only 500 Pesos (Tourist Class).   And then there is a terminal fee of 25 Pesos per person and kids are exempted.

We took the Supercat at 1.45pm from Cebu. Due to our excitement, we forgot that we have not had lunch before going on board.  We also didnt have much choice coz the ferry was about to leave when we got the tickets.  My partner  Joey was too hungry and my friend Ethelyn Albano's child EJ too, luckily the cabin crew were selling some finger foods and packed lunch so we took 5 packs.  Each packed was 120 Pesos, it was really expensive for the food you get but we didn't have a choice.  We did took it to experience that next time, we will eat before or pack our own food before boarding.

We reached Tagbilaran Port at about 3.30pm, it was a smooth ride.  And we are ready for our summer get away.
