Hi everyone. I've gotten a lot of helpful info from this forum so far. So thanks for that.
I'm headed to Anilao and then Sabang in a 2 weeks. I have booked with Buceo Anilao and found an Air BnB at Sabang. I'll most likely dive with Blue Ribbon divers there.
My question is about returning to Manila for my flight. I fly out of Manila on Friday the 13th (cue ominous music) at 12:30 pm. I'm thinking I should overnight in Manila on the 12th instead of trying to get from Sabang to the airport in one shot (I've read conflicting stories about if this is necessary) . But I'm not sure how close I need to stay to the airport. I hear Manila traffic is awful but I've also read stories of people getting there in 20 minutes.
Does anyone have any recommendations for Manila hotels that are nice but affordable and close enough to the airport that I won't really need to worry about traffic?
I'm also a bit confused about the travel options to Manila. The SI-Kat ferry/bus seems to only leave once a day from Sabang. It's a bit earlier than I need. I know there are other ferry and bus options but I'm not sure where I would actually be dropped off in Manila.
Anyone have experience with Buses from Batangas Pier to Manila that can offer some info?
Also, my arriving flight to Manila gets in late at around 10:30pm. Anyone know if I'll be able to exchange money in the airport at that hour?
