Our Bohol Tour

The last time we were in Bohol we stayed on the beach the entire time, barely venturing out of our resort at all. This time we decided that we would check out exactly what Bohol had to offer! The day started at 8:30am when we all piled into our tour van and headed into town. Our first stop was "The Blood Comtact" site where the Filipino's and the Spaniards made a friendship of the two countries through blood.

After a long drive through the man made forest of mahogany trees planted by the people we were at the famous Chocolate Hills. These hills were all made from a once flat landscape when the water from the fresh rain forced the coral up forming these 1268 symmetrical hills. In the hot summer months the heat and lack of moisture cause the hills to turn brown in colour.

After the hot climb to the top of the viewing spot for the hills we climbed back into the air conditioned van and headed to the hanging bridge that crosses the Loboc river. On the other side of the river were all venders selling coconut milk, bbq banana, and many different crafts and jewelry.

It was almost lunch time when we boarded our Floating Restaurant. We found our seats and started to eat from the buffet lunch when the Restaurant took off and we cruising down the river. During our river cruise we listened to the live entertainment of a man and his guitar singing classic oldies. We pulled over once to watch a group of people sing and dance before turning around at the waterfall to head back.

Finally after our lunch we headed to the Targiers. They are the smallest primate in the world with eyes bigger then their brains!!! They were so cute, tiny and ugly all at the same time. After a fun photo shoot with the little guys we were back into the van and heading to yet another destination...

This time we stopped off to see the largest Python in Philippine captivity, below is a short clip of the MALE tour person at the python spot...

Next and last stop on our Bohol Tour was the original church of Tagbilaran which our tour guide told us was 400 years old!!
