Bohol Tour 2011

Date : May 11, 2011
Venue : Bohol, Philippines

We arrived in Bohol via oceanJet ferry. We've been fetched by the resort's driver and bring us to Panglao Regent Park Resort to checked in and rest. Later at night we took our dinner at the famous alona beach, which is only walking distance away from our resort.

The next day we had our tour. We were first taken to the Blood Compact Site then to the Baclayon Church then to see the tarsiers which are so adorable. I wish I could take one home but apparently they get suicidal when taken away from their natural habitat and after that, we were taken to see Prony, the Philippine Python, before heading to Loboc River for the buffet lunch river cruise. The food served were the traditional Filipino food - it was yummy. The cruise itself was very relaxing. There was a band playing as well and a mini dance floor where people dance to the music.

In the afternoon, we made our way to the Chocolate Hills, the place was swarming with tourists. There are two ways up, one via the ramp and one via the steps. We're not able to go up because we feel very tired and sleepy, so we just take pictures at the marker of the hills then have a relaxing massage by the blinds at the waiting shed of the hills. Then we proceed to the man-made forest to take also some pictures and went back to the resort.
