Oasis Resort Bohol

... the staff there were great, but they said that they had a different hotel for us to stay in, so they loaded our bags into a van and drove us to the new place.

And Finally

And with that done, our time was over, tomorrow we have a flight to Hong Kong, where hopefully the fun will not runout

Took the SuperCat from Tagbilaran to Cebu City across the Cebu Straight. Easy crossing, about 90 minutes. Taxi from the harbor to Cebu City.

The Diplomat Hotel is OK, nothing fancy but the price is right. Centrally located, walk to shops. PHP50 cab ride to Ayala -- must see! I am no fan of malls but this one is done right. Lots of open spaces, outdoor restaurants and some great shops.

... small primates, about the size of my fist, are not allowed to be kept in captivity, and in fact are known to committ suicide when caged. In the sanctuary, the sides are fenced to keep out predators, but the top is open, allowing the tarsier to come and go as they please. However, the sanctuary keeps lots of food for them on hand, and they seem quite comfortable there.

Wenn man so faul am Strand liegt, den Sand durch die Finger rieseln laesst und traege in die Sonne blinzelt, kommen einem unweigerlich philosophische Gedanken - unter anderem ueber das Land, in dem wir gegenwaertig leben.
