Our trip to Bohol, Philippines, Day Four

The fourth day of holiday...

After we woke up, we had to go sightseeing right away. We went to the area where we were supposed to be picked up, and waited. Meanwhile, I had fun with the locals, and got my first ever bee sting. (*ouch!).

There was a 2 year old, and he showed us a travel leaflet for a day trip! After that, he wanted to play with the toy I was holding! It was so fun, and I was sad to leave the locals.

Then we got on a van, and drove to a church, a butterfly park, and the chocolate hills,  just to name a few places we went. It was very fun also, and I liked it. I was a bit spooked out when we entered Baclayon church, though. I was scared because it seemed a bit spooky as it was very old and worn down.

Baclayon Church - the second oldest church in the Phillipines

The Baclayon church was made out of coral and egg white! The Baclayon church was built during the Spanish regime.

We had lunch on a cruise at Loboc River, it was very tasty! The view was very nice, we saw waterfalls and pure water.

The Chocolate Hills look like lumps of chocolates, and when it's summer the leaves on the trees on it turn brown, making it look like chocolate! It was ranked 3rd of the country's National geological Monument. The Chocolate hills are actually coral reefs which rose up from the ocean, then grass covered them. We rang the bell there, and then took a few pictures.

These are some of the beautiful butterflies we saw at the Butterfly park! We saw a lot of butterflies and I really loved it.

This is a very strange illusion which makes it seem that the person is a butterfly! It is a very interesting illusion.

We visted Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary. The Tarsiers are so cute! I got a key chain of a tarsier.

Some starfish. We placed them back in the water when we took pictures. They were very interesting!

A nice seafood dinner to end the day. I really liked the fish and show!

When we got back, it was late, so we went to eat a seafood dinner which included fish. We also watched a show (shown above) that kept us entertained. After that, we went to sleep.

My collection of Capsule figthers!

Hi guys, this is didi and I just wanted to show you my collection of Capsule figthers. There are a lot of them because the Japanese company called Bandai introduces new sets every now and then.

I am very proud of this collection, which consists of fighters from 3 series. I have 2 from the Gashapon Fighter Next 12 and 2 from the Gashapon Fighter Next 14

The red fighter, which is called the MSN-06S is from the  Gundam NEXT SP Gashapon series and I am very happy to show this to you!

Our trip to Bohol, Philippines, Day Three

The third day of holiday...

When we woke up VERY EARLY, we ate breakfast then went on a Bangca to go dolphin watching. We saw a lot of dolphins swimming around playing. They were very cute and I was a bit sad when we had to leave them.

We borrowed a picture from a website because our pictures are not that good. 

Then we went to virgin island and got some shells as souvenirs. The local fishermen insisted us to buy some sea urchins to eat. I played with the sand for a while and took some pictures. It was quite fun and I liked it.

After that, we went back to Alona beach and got into Charlotte Resort at the east tip of Alona Beach.

It wasn't bad, but there were ants around. However, there were 2 geckos who ate them up. It was very fun watching the geckos run here and there.

The Charlotte resort!

We took a break then went to dinner. At the dinner, I also made friends with a very friendly waiter called Jerry. We ordered Fish and Chips, pizza, and BBQ Ribs. We had a very nice dinner then went to bed.

Our Trip to Bohol, Philippines - Day Two

The second day of holiday...

When we woke up VERY early in the morning, we ate breakfast, which was bread and sunny-side up eggs and went snorkeling.

When we got ready, we got on a Bangca and then me and my mom wore life jackets. We saw many different kinds of marine animals, including clown fish and sea turtles.

 First, we went to a very deep area were we looked at the turtles for a long time. We saw 2 to 3 turtles and they were looking great. My dad chased the sea turtles to take pictures, I floated around also taking pictures, and my mom was hanging on to the boat (because she can't swim very well), and tried to have a look at the turtles. The turtles move quite fast, and they are very agile in the water.

Then we went to a coral reef and I saw a lot of fish, the clown fish, Angelfish, and other kinds of very beautiful fish. We fed the fish soggy crackers and watched them eat, it was very exciting.

When we went back to shore, we were very tired and my mom found a nice massage hut with a roof over it outside.We lied down on the bed and I read Harry Potter books for hours and hours and hours.

Then? I read some more.We enjoyed the evening sunset so much that I didn't want to leave, but we had to.

After that,we went back into our hotel room to relax. By that time, it was very late, so we went to dinner. At dinner, I order Balicassag burger, which composed of tomato and beef, then went to bed, especially because I HAD to wake up at 5 O'CLOCK  in the morning!

Here is the map of Balicasag island,  and all its beautiful attractions it has to offer.

Our Trip to Bohol, Philippines - Day One

The first day of holiday...

On the 12th of July, 2013,  the start of the journey, we took a taxi to the airport and then hopped on a plane from the Cebu Pacific Airlines to go to Cebu. The seats were very comfortable on the plane and I liked it.  The flight took about 1 hour 15 minutes. I read some books and took a rest.

When we finally landed at Cebu, we immediately got 3 tickets to a ferry headed for Bohol, (I don't know why my mom was in such a rush, we even ate lunch and still got on the shuttle bus to the ferry! ( Hee-he!) . The shuttle bus wasn't the best bus I had ever ridden on because there was a HUGE step I had to jump on  to get into the bus, but it was OK. However, the shuttle bus had no air-con! :( well, we just had to deal with it. 

When we got on the ferry, I found out that the ferry wasn't too bad. The ferry was called the Ocean Jet and I like the name because I think it's cool. We left at the port at Cebu and arrived at the port of Tagbilaran, Bohol.  During the 2 hours ferry ride, I read a book and did my math homework. 

This is a Bangca, the boat we used to get to Balicasag island.

When we arrived at Bohol, My Dad got a cab, which took us to Anola beach, then we hopped on a boat to Balicasag island. There were thunder and it was dark, so I was scared that the boat, which was made out of wood, would brake down. Luckily, the boat did NOT brake down. When we reached our destination, it was VERY late in the night. We ate dinner immediately after we arrived. We ordered a very tasty seafood soup, which was called Balicasag soup. It had shrimps, calms, and other kinds of seafood in it. After dinner, we finally went to sleep and I slept soundly as I was very tired.

This is Balicasag island, the island we visited.
