Bohol Island Tour

I just spent two days in Bohol (about 2 hrs boat ride from Cebu City). It's just a small island but there is sooo much to see! The first day I rested on this beach... 












The second day Richard and I took a round trip to the island sights. Our first stop: the world famous Chocolate Hills. These are 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size and they are covered in green gras which turns brown in dry season (that's where the name comes from).





A hanging bridge made out of bamboo.




We had lunch on a floating boat which looks quite wild and natural at first. But actually there were a lot of these boats each with their own live music and certain stops along the river for Filipino dances.


















We also visited a butterfly farm, the oldest coral stone church in the region, a men made forest, a cave and last but not least: the smallest primates on earth! These Tarsiers are actually night active. So although they have huge eyes they can't really see much with day light.

Can't tell you how much I envy you for that!
