If someone asked me if I can experience and explore Bohol in 24 hours, I would tell him - "BEEN THERE. DONE THAT!" So, how did we do it exactly?
Upon touch down, we hired a car for 2,000 PHP (for 8 hours) to take us to all the exciting and tourist-y places in Bohol such as:
Our first stop - the Blood Compact site.
Actually, it's not really a stop, we didn't really wanna go there but it's on the way. I just had to post this really funny photo of my Aunt. LOL.
Then we sampled the famous restaurant by Bohol Bee Farm in Island City Mall, Tagbiliran.
Bee Farm's staple garden salad with flowers. I ate the flower, seriously.
Baclayon Church, about 6 km east of Tagbilaran, one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It has a mini museum of relics of saints. They also sell rosaries, crosses and other religious items.
Like giddy high school kids, my Aunt and I then proceeded to drive to the Tarsier Sanctuary.
The locals said one of the tarsiers scratched one of the tourist's eye out (just exaggerating), when he tried to pet the animal. That's just gossip, but now they're not allowing anyone from touching the tarsiers. Also, don't use your camera's flash. Tarsiers are extremely sensitive and they're suicidal. Maybe that's why they're an endangered species.
Then, lo and behold, the famous Chocolate Hills! It's not even remotely chocolate brown when we went there though. It's three hours from Tagbiliran and apparently there's another view called the Sagbayan Peak, but it's another 45 minutes.
It's great to have dinner at Loboc Floating River Cruise for about 300 PHP because of the ambiance. Although the food's not that great, stomach fillers really. You can join the cruise fora bout 450 PHP.
Then we slept for about two hours, had this night cap at Lazer Disco in Bohol Tropics Resort, which deserves a separate blog post, believe me. I even have videos.
