Cebu - Bohol Adventure

        Queen City of the South. What interests me about this city was their rich cultural history and landmarks. The first time i got here i instantly fell in love with the city's wonderful places and history. The faith of cebuanos also amazed me.

       We (with my trip buddy) planned our stay here for just a week. We had already booked our hotel, we have chosen cebuRhotel with its very cheap price, nice rooms and very courteous and accommodating staffs you will definitely have a good stay. Probably we will be staying again there soon.

      We were so lucky to met a taxi driver named "manong jun" he has his own trip package at the lowest rate. We had our city tour for only 1,500 pesos for the whole day. If you are interested here is his contact number +639396454754 and you can arrange your own itinerary with him.

                                                      The famous Magellan's Cross.

            When you get to Sto. Niño, there are women who will offer prayers for health, love or anything you ask, for them to pray in exchange of the candle you bought from them.

              This is inside the Sto. Niño church where you can also find the miraculous little Sto. Niño :)

                             The old Fort San Pedro was built in spanish colonial period

                                           Used to be the military defense structure.

Arrival at Tagbilaran, Bohol

           Upon arrival at Tagbilaran, our tour guide met us there with other tourists and we proceed to our shuttle.

                                                Going to Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary.

                                                    

                                             This is the preserved Tarsier's skeleton.

                                                       Camera shy tarsier..

      Just tried to touch it but it exposed its fine teeth ready to bite..haha scared a lil though..

                                                       Lunch time at Loboc River

                                     Eat delicious foods all you can while cruising on the river.

            The Songer hehe i really had fun during our lunch with his wonderful voice to entertain us all.

           While cruising, we came by a floating hut with folks dancing and singing in their dialects. This is their way of welcoming, appreciating and thanking the visitors.

                                 Welcome to Chocolate Hills.. during our visit it was rainy season so it doesn't look like a chocolate hill thus a green hill ^^, It is only during summer when you find it as chocolate because grasses were dead due to summer heat.

                                                  Butterfly Garden at Tagbilaran, Bohol.

                                           Blood Compact Monument- a historical site

At the end of the trip, we're so tired but it's really worth it! It's really amazing knowing your own culture. Before you appreciate others' richness, appreciate you own first. :)
