We were in the middle of an engagement and we haven't had any "decent" sleep. However, we have booked and planned this for months already so we couldn't afford to back-out. Although the consequences of our actions later followed, we were absolutely sure that given the same situation again, we would still choose Bohol! It was surreal!
Our first stop was in the Blood Compact Site where a blood compact (obviously) between Sikatuna, a native chieftain and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, a Spanish explorer and colonizer took place on
March 16, 1565 (don't be impressed, I googled that..lolz)
We then checked in our hotel: Coconut Palms. It has an Olympic-sized pool which, unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy because we lacked time!
We also went to see the tarsiers and learned some stuff about them ( which I forgot as of the moment of writing..hahaha).
Next stop, what Bohol is most famous for: CHOCOLATE HILLS!
En route chocolate hills, we stopped over a man-made forest with exquisite view:
and the hanging bridge...
It was a jampacked day and we couldn't help but look forward to a new one! NEXT!

Next we headed to Baclayon Church which was just a few minutes away from the Blood Compact Site. What’s nice about Bohol is that it’s just a pretty small place. Going to and from different destinations would take less than an hour or two.

For lunch, we headed to Loboc for a buffet while cruising Loboc river.

DAY 2:
The next day was E.A.T. Danao day! E.A.T. means Exciting/Educational/ Exhilirating Adventure Trip.
EAT Danao is famous for its zipline which is…lacking for words…simply terrifying. I kinda chickened-out and was not able to try the zipline and the plunge…
...but I did the rappel!
Then we visited the largest python in captive which is also in Bohol.
DAY 3:
Third day, we visited Hinagdanan Cave. We were amazed by the local guide's expertise in the setting of our cameras. He had numerous techniques to capture the beauty of the cave's interiors.
We had lunch at Bohol Bee Farm. We were amused by the edible flowers they garnished with our food!
We also droppped by our Lady of the Assumption church which is famous for a well in the center of the church:
Then PANGLAO! We already arrived late in the afternoon so the only activity we were able to do was snorkeling.

We stayed in Dumaluan Beach Resort:
We capped of our last night in Bohol by chillin' at the shores of Dumaluan.
The next day, we wore same shirts expressing how we felt for the four days that we spent in this Visayan island:
WE LOVE BOHOL!
