This is my favorite Bohol photo. I took this while waiting for our lunch to be served in one of the restaurants in Panglao Island, Bohol.
Here is a nice photo of the clear water. Would you believe that some of the people that you see here were either sitting or standing up?
This is a tarsier. A very small type of monkey that can only be found in Bohol. It's as small as the mouse that you are clicking right now.
The most popular site in Bohol, the Chocolate Hills. These are actually not man-made. The sign located halfway to the top of the viewing deck says, "The unique land form known as the Chocolate Hills of Bohol was formed ages ago by the uplift of coral deposits and the action of rain water and erosion."
Cruising Loboc River. The food was oh-kay. I was more interested with the guide's stories.
Not a very good shot of Baclayon Church, one of the oldest churches in the country. It started as a visita in 1595.
Here's a shot of the altar.
The place where we stayed in 2007. We were staying in Cebu but decided to spend the weekend in Bohol. Without prior reservations, we ended up staying here in Alonaland. Not beachfront but it is just a minute walk from the beach. It is owned by a German guy named Rolf. We paid PhP3,000 a night for a two-story house with 2 bedrooms. The place was nice but only one bedroom has airconditioning unit so all five of us stayed in one room. Plus, the water tasted like sea water! We were all laughing at the weird taste of toothpaste and salty water after brushing our teeth.
My sister-in-law's hands, while eating sizzling chili prawns. This photo was taken during our second Bohol trip in August 2007. The food at Lost Horizon Resort was amazing and reasonably-priced, too! Around Php 300-400 per head.
Bohol is a province in the Visayas region. You can take a plane from Manila (which is in Luzon) going to Tagbilaran City in Bohol. Panglao Island is a 40-minute drive from the airport, so make sure you book transfers so it will be a comfortable trip, you can arrange this with the resort where you will be staying. Airfare would be around PhP 3,000+ and accommodation can range from Php 1,500 for a non-beachfront room to as much as Php 7,500 for a beachfront suite.
Prices vary depending on the season. Lean season is usually July-October while November to June is peak season.
