@Cebu-Bohol, We've been there



                     What a great way to start my travel adventure, after much anticipation, planning and flight scheduling at last our Cebu-Bohol trip was completed. The said trip was last April 11-15, 2012, it was a 5 days/4night trip. 

Flight to Cebu, Bro 1st timer to ride

first breakfast in Cebu









I bet you know where this is



We were taken to Cebu via Zest air and landed in MACTAN-CEBU AIRPORT at about 5:15am of Apr. 11. Since I am not a person who usually book/reserve hotels or Inns to stay, after I reserved our ticket for our ferry trip going to Tagbilaran from Cebu.. Thankfully my siblings and my mom are game enough to go with my craziness, hehehe. So we had the adventure looking for a place to stay and luckily we met aling Pacita along the way, we just asked her where we could find an apartell or any lodge but more than just pointing us there she even went with us until we find one. Aling Pacita thank you very much for your smile and helping us. Right then and there we didn't waste any time we just rested for a while and we are already on our feet roaming Cebu for the whole 2 days. 

B... Cebu

Roaming around Cebu





Cebu have numbers of Old Churches








Cebu is a place to go to reminisce on your history as this province is full of that specially Spanish era. But, sadly I/we didn't find Cebu that pleasing as we expected coz its just like Manila its dirty, too much people and jeeps, so much clutter, homeless seen every where or its just because we have stayed in a wrong place? We stayed in Cebu for 2 days and 2 nights, then Wednesday morning as early as 4am we get up as we need to prepare for our trip going to Tagbilaran, Bohol and the ferry leaves at 6:30am, anticipating that our way going to the port will take us an hour so we left our lodge at about quarter to 5o'clock then before we know it we are already at the port in about 15mins so we are actually 2hours early... WHATDAF**K we should have just slept more.

here starts of Bohol tour










Anyway, rising early gives us the opportunity to catch the sun rise in the port of Cebu...  we were in Tagbilaran port by 8:30am, same thing happened in Tagbilaran as we still checked for Inns to stay but this time its more easy coz I already have list to check and we ended up staying in NISA TRAVELERS INN its along Carlos P. Garcia avenue just right in the heart of Tagbilaran city. It is indeed a cheap place but its not cheap in service, as you'll get great service for a a fair enough price. You will get a welcomer water, airconditioned clean room w/ towels, they also have free breakfast, wi-fi and if you don't have laptop or mobile device wi-fi ready they have free use of computer.

Bohol Tours... Hinagdanan Cave


 

 Visited Python Park

 

















Our tour in Bohol is much more relaxing and better as we took a tour package in a friendly price and we had a great driver/tour guide/joker. Along the way mang Nonoy had a lot of stories to share historically and neighborly stories. But more than being a driver as his means of living, he is friendly, compassionate and helpful. I highly recommend mang Nonoy if you are going to Bohol you may contact him @ this number 09203684838 and he will happily tour you in the beautiful places of Bohol and you may ask him to bring you to Panglao Island to end up your tour and take a swim in its bluesh/green sea. There are lot to see in Bohol, a lot to enjoy not only of your eyes but of your whole being as a person being thankful that we are blessed with such rich nature, specially if you are a Filipino.  


                                                      
Finally I've captured the incredible Tarsier with my cam 

                                                                                  Tasty Chocolate hills

 



                                      Had Lunch  at floating restaurant, In Loboc River



Oldest Churches in Bohol, Baclayon Church


Unfortunately there was something bad happened as I lost my wallet when we visit the Chocolate hills, the money is supposedly to be used to pay Mang Nonoy, good thing I didn't put in there my ATM well I was left with no choice but just to withdraw. And for that person who got my wallet and didn't have the heart to give it back to me or surrender it to the authorities, remember there's always what you called KARMA. Nevertheless this mishap didn't impeded me to enjoy  my vacation. I am just thankful that this misfortune happened to my wallet rather than to us, thank you Lord.


Mang Nonoy's service...






More than words our Cebu-Bohol tour with my family is indescribable, overwhelming, fun, learning. Well this is just a start for this year and hopefully I will be financially capable to keep up with my next tours. 


Hop in and join me in my next adventure.
