Cebu Getaway

Day 2

 Woke up at around 4am to catch the early boat trip at Cebu port Center going to Tagbilaran, rode a taxi  which i payed 80pesos, it was early yet people are lining up,since i was waiting for the vessel i took the liberty of eating my breakfast here,which was a big mistake..i mean i had to pay 60pesos for a siopao!hahaha...im really budget conscious when it come to spending my money(later i found out that i could purchase the same stuff outside for just 30pesos,talk about price difference)...

Took some shots of the port and some nearby boats,one building was shaped like a boat which at first glance i thought it was really ship..

                                                             

Finally reach the port of Tagbilaran...the tour guide waited for us here we ha d to rent a car since the tourist spots in bohol were a bit far and having a car would be the best option...

 First stop was the Blood Compact site....the site was small over looking the bay,and the human statue which is made from a metal-something thingy..i really dont know what its made of..all i can say is that it was hot going there...too bad i was late for the party they started drinking already

                                        Second stop was the baclayon church and museum,the 

                          church is old and it has that funny smell you might get from and old house. 

the place was huge with lots of nooks to discover.

we then went to a mini zoo...geez that snake was long!luckily they fed him up,what a bit scared being that close to a snake!hahaha..they also have birds some mammals..forgot the name of the place though.. hehehe

 It's was 12:30pm when we had our lunch,and the place to eat was the famous
Loboc River Tours! Its like a floating restaurant where you are taken on a tour around the river and local songs are played and the food was unlimited and very delicious.

 Children jump from the trees naked,reminds me of some postcards where kids jump..the river was really vamped up since the have night tours where the area lits up to make it attractive during the night time.

While you eat you can see a few floating houses,its where locals get to be part of the tourism industry,the sing for you and dance and kids look cute and adorable playing those tiny guitars so i had to take a photo of me...and i suck at dancing, i didn't last 5 seconds while dancing the "Tinikling"hahaha......
but it was a great experience i was full and my soul feels connected to the people...i was hungry that time the i had to forgot to take pictures of the food.

After that lunch we then headed to the man made forest which was to me very beautiful to see,fresh cool air,and very clean,i could just put a hammock and just relax and drift away in peace....

Bohol is also know for one creature the   "TARSIERS"

Meeting the so cute Tarsiers where scary at first coz i was thinking what if they will jump on me those were the thoughts that came into mind. I wish i could keep these fury little guys but hey atleast i got the chance to meet the smallest prime-ape,we were not allowed to touch it and no and a big NO to use flashes when using your camera,there were just sitting or rather hanging there......staring at me....and thats it...but then again i got the chance to have a high-five with one of them...

Im really afraid of the heights and im scared of this next thing im gonna do.....zip-line!
i forgot the name of the place since i was focusing on conquering my fear,but what the heck after 3 attemps of telling the operator i told him to let go...and the first words that came out of my mouth was..uhmmm lets just say that it's not nice to hear,like some F*** word here and there a few S*** and a couple of B******* here too...and lastly was the "wow!holy crap this is sick and the view is breathtaking and i feel like superman!" came into mind..
   

Since I'm in Bohol i wouldn't miss on not seeing their famous "CHOCOLATE HILLS"! Going there in a car makes you feel ecstatic,I'm like a kid,as i inch nearer the place i see a couple of hills then more and more as we go along the road,it was a feeling of being small and yet piece came into my mind, as i walk the steps though it was a long one i became more and more excited and being on top i just cant help but just be in "aw" as i look around the many Chocolate hills.

 

 
 

Last stop on my tour was the BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION CENTER, it was a quite place and they were many species of butterflies,i was told not to touch any caterpillars but the curiosity side of me took over and i just had to grab one,i was the biggest and longest ever that i have seen..looking at it seems like its gonna burst..
