BOHOL TRIPPIN' WITH THE FAMILY
BOHOL TRIPPIN' WITH THE FAMILY
So
the members of this travelling pack are: my dad, my mom, my sister
Jeanne, my brother Ras, my bro’s wife Faith, my 7 year old nephew
Ackie, my other bro, Tata, my aunt Edna and of course, moi .
My
family and I planned a 2 days and 1 night trip to Bohol with a mission
to have the fun summer adventure that we will all remember.
Here is our itinerary:
We took a ferry from Tubigon Seaport in Cebu rather than the Tagbilaran Seaport, which is the main port of Bohol and accommodate large commercial passengers. However, the Tubigon Seaport
is cheaper than the Tagbilaran Seaport. We had so much fun in the ferry
watching this horror-comedy Tagalog movie by Vhong Navarro and Angelica
Panganiban. We were so noisy laughing hysterically.
When
we arrived in Bohol, we weren’t able to contact any van that will tour
us around for a day but we need not fret because there are a lot of
vans waiting on the dock that would tour you around Bohol at rate that
range from1,300 to 1,800.We got a good deal with one of the vans so off
we went, hehe
First stop was Sagbayan Peak. There is an entrance fee of 20pesos per person. It is mountain resort and recreation center that would give you the 360
degree view of the picturesque landscape of Bohol including the
Chocolate Hills. My nephew enjoyed playing their playground, hehe.
Next stop was the famous Chocolate Hills. It was quite an exercise going up to the stairs in this structure where you can see the beautiful chocolate hills. Of course, we did the cheesy jumping
shots and pointing the tip of the chocolate hill shots,hehe.
We were famished from all the sightseeing we headed to Loboc River for well-deserved buffet meal on a floating restaurant… Yey!
Before
alighting on one of the cruises, you have to pick which floating
restaurant you want. It cost P300 per head and you can choose based on
menus they provide for you. But I guess we chose poorly because the
food on that cruise wasn’t amazing unlike the cruise in my last visit
in Bohol. But I didn’t mind. I enjoyed the scenery on the Loboc River
and the serenade of the cruise singer. But what I enjoyed the most is
when we have a quick stopover in some parts of the River and locals
will sing & dance for you and you can join them.
After the lunch and the cruise around Loboc River, we headed to Baclayon Church
to see religious artifacts and see the beautiful rustic church from
inside but unfortunately it was close that day. We headed to the Blood Compact Monument and took lots of pictures.
We wanted a little bit more of adventure so we went to Danao Adventure Park.
We wanted to go on a zipline & cable car and experience that
adrenaline rush. Zipline and cable car cost P350. When we were up there
and the guys were already strapping us with the safety suit and giving
instructions, I admit I was scared. I did the zipline alongside my
sister, with us looking like supergirls on a harness. I was so scared
when they push us forward but after a second, it went away. It was
exhilarating! Thank God, I am not scared of heights, I enjoyed viewing
the gorgeous nature of greens lansdcape, rocks and flowing river from
below. It was amazing, I wanted o do it again. But we went back to the
place where we started on a cable car. We were altogether on the cable
car but it feels more dangerous than the zipline, really..
And
of course, we have to see Tarsiers because we are in Bohol, hehe. They
are surprisingly small, like an adorable rat, haha. We tried to feed
them cricket and took lots of pictures. But make sure not to use a
flash because their eyes are very sensitive. And you will get a good
scolding from the caretakers,haha…
That
is it for our day trip in Bohol, a wonderful fun day with my family. In
the late afternoon we travelled to Panglao Island, stayed the night
there and visited a Virgin island the next day. But that would be
altogether a whole new blogpost already, hehe.. So for more of my
travel adventures, food discoveries, a movie or book reviews or just basic musings, visit my blogsite http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.com/
Thank you SIMPLYME for inviting me as a guest blogger in your site. ‘Til my next visit. Cheers!
