We took the early morning trip of Oceanjet bound for Tagbilaran City, the gateway to Bohol Island. It’s my second time for Bohol! I always look forward to go back to that wonderful island! It's a stunning Visayan jewel. Kuya Sherwin 0910-612-3168 / 0926-7103-220 is waiting for us at the seaport. He is the one I contacted to be our driver/tourguide. He charges us lesser than those other contacts I asked.
Kuya is so nice. He keeps on sharing with us the history of their island. Our fist stop is the historical blood compact site. We got so excited to see a tarsier. This endangered species can be found mainly in the town of Corella. It’s a wonderful experience passing through the highway of manmade forest. This long stretch of highway is planted by hundreds of thousands of mahogany trees. They compare this to one of the scene in the movie Twilight.
It took an hour and we finally reached the world’s famous chocolate hills located in the town of Carmen. Jimmelyn and Jenel were so excited to take the stairs going on top of the hill’s viewing area. The foreigners were also amazed. After that we have an extreme adventure at Loboc Adventure Park. It’s my first time to try the zip line ride. I feel like a superman flying from one mountain to the other side. An adrenaline rush experience.
We pass by the hanging bridge. There we bought some peanut kisses and other pasalubong stuff. It’s time for lunch. The perfect time and place to have it is by Loboc River Cruise. As we are having our buffet lunch the cruise started. The river was so breathtaking. There are cultural presentations at the riverbanks.
Our tour ended at the Baclayon Chruch, the oldest coral stone church in the region. The place is open for tourist. The artifacts were stored.
We spend the rest of the day at Dumaluan Beach Resort in Panglao Island. I love this island and I am dreaming of residing here someday, the white sand, fresh sea foods and the friendly Boholanos. One thing that weren’t experience is the island hoping and snorkelling because we woke up late! We just enjoy the day beside the shore watching some Japanese nationals enjoying beach volleyball. They don’t mind what is going on in Japan.
Last of day of our trip we are bound for Tagbilaran City. Jim and Jenel headed to the seaport for their Cebu trip while I attended a mass at the Tagbilaran Cathedral. I am fortunate because the mass is in English! After that I spend the day strolling at the plaza just across the church. Good thing about the city is that you can enjoy it by just walking. Eating breakfast at McDo and malling at BC Mall! By 4pm I will be flying back to Manila with ZestAir!:)
