bohol trip ( the city of friendship)


Going to Bohol from Cebu we ride at the Roroboat to reach the Port of Tubigon.
We choose to arrive at the Port of Tubigon to have a fastest and cheapest way of transfer to Bohol and continued by van.

We stayed at Island city Mall while waiting for our service from Bohol Bee Farm Hotel. I booked at their barn room for only Php 2000.00/night. Therefore, upon arrival at their hotel the Barn are not available so their transfer my booking to their Ampalaya room (Garden bungalows rooms). I like their room, amenities and environment very relaxing. But it’s a little bit far so it’s not advisable to book here if you’re want is to Tour. It’s applicable only to people who want to relax and escaped from the city.

I love their ice cream the best Ice cream I ever tasted.





Breakfast at Bee farm

First Breakfast:
Hot Chocolate
Papaya Shake
Flower salad
Omelette
Pan cake
Ham w/Honey
Second Breakfast:
Fried red rice
Fried bangus w/ Honey
Pineapple shake
Hot Chocolate



When you come down below the bee farm you will see their beautiful cliff where you can enjoy the panoramic sea view through their spacious wooded platform area for lounging and sun bathing. The beach is a combination of coral rocks and sand and I saw the different kinds of fish in shallow part of it and it seems that they want to play with me. And I found blue starfish here and it’s my first time.

The Chocolate Hills are a famous tourist attraction of Bohol. The Chocolate Hills is a rolling terrain of haycock hills – mounds of general shape which are conical and almost symmetrical.

They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women's breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child's drawing.





We visit the butterfly sanctuary in Bohol and I learned from that the butterflies have the shortest life among the living things here in the world.
They only have 21 days life therefore the girl butterfly only have once lovemaking in her life but it last for a day before it ends and they produce a million of eggs.
 

Baclayon Church - is the oldest Catholic stone church building in the Philippines. It was constructed during the Spanish occupation and the first Spanish missionaries (called doctrineros) settled in the area in the late 15th century.




Hinagdanan Cave
 - It is a naturally lighted cavern with a deep lagoon and many large stalactites and stalagmites

Bohol Beach Club resort
at Tagbilaran Airport while waiting for our Departure.

We’re going back home via Cebupacific for only Php 2,720.96.
