Traffic articles
Usually take the cheap airline CEBU PACIFIC, if you set off from Hong Kong, you can go to CEBU, then by boat to Mint; if you go to Manila, you can fly to the capital of peppermint.
Cebu-Mint:
Cebu airport in Mactan Island, Cebu City in the Northeast.
Out of the airport before two things:
1, airport, there are tourists, Advisory counter map free of charge, with tourist information and attractions, mainly Japanese, personally think that the map is found in the online utility.
2. exchange rate: Airport domestic is not very good, it is recommended that rarely change, meet the cost of temporary traffic, etc.
Remember to change some small denomination 20P, because in the Philippines many aspects need to tip. We arrived at the aircraft, only on the day of the change, the airport is 1 dollar = 45P (September 22). A couple of days apart, in Tagbilaran of currency exchange store wrap to 45.7, while in the ISLAND CITY MALL inside see 45.75; the SM CEBU inside the exchange rate was the highest 45.85.Large shopping centres have to change money in General.
The Philippines most banks do not provide this service. Exchange time bring a passport, registration number. We exchange with a 100, 50 dollar denominations, below this denomination is said to lower the rate of denominations.Philippines coin unit for Peso (peso), a peso is divided into 100 points (centavo, shorthand for c).
Banknotes currency 20, 500 and 1000 50,100,200, Peso. Coins have 1P, 5P, 10P, 50 minutes, 25 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 1 minute.It is said that card is convenient, but we had enough of the batch rope, so no use card.
Note: in some places, although you can swipe your card, but you want to pay more fees with the card.Airport-Terminal: Cebu airport exit, there is a taxi, airport taxi registration to our 375P, no.
Come out, many drivers are found, probably because it is the minimum to the wee hours to CEBU a number 200p head, time-and-a-half hours.TIPS: take a taxi in the Philippines, often someone snatching your bag, then ask for tips, this phenomenon is particularly prominent in the dock.
If there are not many people less baggage, it is recommended that the luggage is placed directly in the car seat.Cebu Pier-Tagbilaran:
1. take the Clippers full exercise time is 1 hour 45 minutes.
In a number of headers to use Ocean Jet, or Terminal 4 can use SuperCat, between the two terminals is 5 minutes by car. We meet on the same day is Saturday, do not know what the Ocean Jet tickets very nervous, we rank in the top ten, do not buy a morning boat. But to wait until 7 am began selling 2 pm ticket (round-trip fare promotions, fare is for 560P 360P). Later we went to no. 4, did not know until the day the SuperCat flights were canceled.2, there is also a slow boat to get to, exercise time to 4 hours, price of course cheaper.
3. If you must go to Mint, you do not want to wait can slow boat to no. 3, up to the West of the island to Mint TUBIGON, the earliest a class as if it is 6 points, fare 170P, terminal fees 10P, time is about 2 hours.
However, from TUBIGON to Tagbilaran land go 1 hour or so, and Pier's asking price is very high, personally think that's great.Ocean Jet：CEBU TO TAGBILARAN：6：00AM，9：30AM，2：00PM，6：20PM
