We Wasted Time and Money at CCLEX

A day after CCLEX or the new Cebu-Cordova Link Express or what Cebuanos refer to as the third bridge opened, we tried to go there to see the view and experience this 30 billion project.

We thought on the next day, it would be a smooth passing because most of those who were curious about the bridge would probably have passed it in the early morning or the night before. The express link is open 24/7 but what we want to capture is the beauty of the view when the sun is about to set in the afternoon when we are about to go back to Cebu City.

But we were surprised to meet a long queue of vehicles as we were on our way to Cordova.

There were so many vehicles and we were stuck in traffic for more than an hour, so, unfortunately, the cash basis process right now is causing the traffic and I figured out that it was not just us who were curious because some of our friends posted that they were stuck on traffic too on the same day, same hour.

We still had a glimpse of the sunset, it was indeed beautiful but then, we were facing Cordova so we were not able to see Cebu City in its golden hour. Anyway, when we were on our way back to Cebu, we just did a u-turn, most vehicles did that by the way so it was obvious that these vehicles were just there out of curiosity just like us! :)

So, lesson learned, we should have waited when the RFIDs are already working and not been taken by the hype. We just wasted time and money that day. For now, we will just be satisfied watching the bridge from afar. Here's the view from our village, the CCLEX is visible from here but we need a zoom lens to capture it well.
