Bacolod to Cebu bus trip via Don Salvador Benedicto
During our recent Cebu trip last week of October, we took the Ceres bus going there. The trip started from the Ceres Liner terminal at Shopping, Bacolod City at 7:15 AM. The bus was air-conditioned and the travel time was about 2 hours and 30 minutes as we arrived at the San Carlos City port at 9:45 AM.
For Bacolod to Cebu bus trips, we usually take the Don Salvador Benedicto route because of the scenic views along this municipality. Even though I lack sleep, I didn’t even doze a bit because I enjoyed clicking away with my camera. Here are some of the photos I took behind a closed bus window while we were speeding by.
Too bad I wasn’t able to take some nice shots of the beautiful pine trees lining up the road, the bus was just too fast for me.
