Wregent Plaza Hotel 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. It was a lot newer and did not have the soul or personality of the last place, but in times of need, we took it, plus the fact was that it was free. Always a good Jew boy price !!!

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.

... Island at Tagbilaran City, the provincial capitol. Free shuttle to the Bohol Tropics Resort -- very nice, upscale resort at reasonable prices. Nice beach, comfortable, clean room, free WiFi, excellent service. I was even able to get a good cup of coffee at 5 AM! Jet lag is something else.

Easy walking distance (10 minutes) to Tagbilaran town center, malls, shops, harbor, etc.

After our trip to the whale sharkless seas of Padre Burgos we headed west to the island of Bohol.

Following our trips to the various beaches around the Philippines we headed to the interior of the island of Bohol to see the Chocolate Hills and one of Bohol’s tiniest residents – the tarsier. It was another long journey from one island to the next – things move slowly in the Philippines as you often have to wait for a bus ...

... Forest. This was a beautiful drive, and nice and shaded. On the way up the hill, we passed a procession which we were able to film.

As we approached the Chocolate hills we noticed the hilly terrain, and as we drove the incline to the viewpoint we could see many of the mounds. We pullled into a busy parking lot and got out of the car. Connie let us know they could drive us 1/2 way up, but the ...

... get there. Again, we had to take a motorbike to take us to the viewing deck. After several steps up the viewing point, we finally arrived. Ahhh...it's BREATHTAKING ...what more can I say. Another of nature's wonders. Kix and I stayed there for a while to enjoy this wonderful scenery. It's one of a kind, where else in the world can you find a set of hills (like giant hershey's chocolate kisses) so close to each other? it's ...

... Concepcion) - known as the second oldest church built in the Philippines after San Agustin in Intramuros. Baclayon prides itself for its coral stones and eggwhite for its foundation and walls, as used during those days. The structure looked sturdy, considering its age as it is the oldest church ever erected outside Manila by Jesuits. Today, a museum and a school are attached to the church. Cruising along the national highway ...

... recognize which was all good except for the dried jackfruit which both smells and tastes like BO-ridden armpit (how does he know what armpit tastes like?). Not even any of the Filipinos around us on the ferry wanted anything to do with their native fruit, and it was dried which is supposed to mellow it out. For the checklist we saw Magellan's Cross and a church that none of us knew quite why we were there (though outside I did buy some quality and dare-I-say-authentic ...
