Getaway to Island of Bohol.

  Everybody loves to travel. No matter how busy our weekdays are, yet we always have room for adventure. It’s just I wanna say close your forex chart window, stop thinking forex at the moment, turn off your mobile phones and laptops, and start looking at the beauty of nature. For sure you can think of an amazing view close to you. Just like what I did. 

I currently live on the Island of Cebu Philippines and Island of Bohol is just an hour and a half from Cebu. via fast craft ( a large passenger superfast ferry).
I know that the Island of Bohol is a place for tourism and I heard beautiful things about it. Until one day
I have decided to have my own adventure in Bohol Island. I arrived at Bohol at 11 o’clock in the morning. The lady who assigned for the tour that bookable online was there waiting at the port of Bohol. Go directly to her comfortable air-conditioned van and meet fellows.

We enjoyed traveling while talking to other people that I’ve just met on that tour.
We had our lunch at the floating restaurant in Loboc River while we entertained by a local musician and few Filipino local dances like: tinikling (t-nik-ling) check this youtube link sample of tinikling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TonQH9DjJT8 



  I had fun watching Filipino folk dances. A few local old men, women, and children dressed in Filipino traditional custom playing various guitar while some children laughing while dancing.










There was a pair of an old couple dancing some folk dance and for me, they look cute together looks natural and simple.











After that, we visit a butterfly garden, which I've learned something about the butterfly. They are mating 24 hours without rest sounds crazy ha! and they used their wings to attract females.











 In the picture that's two butterflies "mating" And  a guy who gives a tour in butterfly garden called it
"Butterflies BOOM BOOM!












Just a butterfly sipping some nectar 
 in the flowers.



Some photo trekking in the butterfly garden.


We visited the old coral stone church also.












The tarsier is one of the weirdest animals that I know. Try to imagine small mammal with very big eyes. The eyes don't move and the head can turn around 180 degrees on each side. Though it's small it's scary for me. because it has a long tail like a rat and they are 45million years old on the earth. so been the earth older than a monkey.






















The last destination that I visited that day is the " Chocolate Hills". If you can see the photos on my back. it's a small hill with the same shape and size for over 1000 of them.
Going back eons, they were coral reefs as this part of the island was underwater. Trees don't grow on them only
the grasses. In summer the grasses brown off hence the name Chocolate hills.
But according to legend, there was a giant who falls in with a beautiful woman but the woman died and the giant become so sad and he cried for sadness and that hills are the tears of the giant.
some other legend says there two giants and they are best-friend but one day they have a misunderstanding and they have a physical quarrel they throwing soil to each other and that hill now today is the soil that they threw to each other.
but my father told me it's a poo of a giant.

Beautiful Sunset and the ocean.
