Tour of Bohol part 2





























The 3rd destination was the man made forest in Bilar The man-made forest densely planted of mahogany trees. It stands out because of the uniformity in height of the big trees,When we enter the forest Looking at the huge trees gives me the creeps.but find it very enchanting..
After the Picture taking in the man made forest we dropped by in the bamboo hanging bridge above the Loboc River.This bridge hangs approximately 20 meters above the Loboc River and sways back and forth as you walk across.can buy some souvenir across the bridge or drink some refreshing buco.


The Next stop was the Chocolate Hills Bohol's most famous tourist attraction 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size. you have to climb the 214 stepsto reach the view deck. The domes vary in sizes from 30 to 50 metres (98 to 160 ft) high with the largest being 120 metres (390 ft) in height.Indeed natural wonder. After 30 minutes of viewing and picture taking in chocolate hills off we went to Baclayon Church. unfortunately it was already closed when arrived there. Baclayon Church is considered to be one of the oldest churchesin the Philippines.
Passed by in the Loboc Bell Tower then picture taking ng mga 10 minutes.
Last stop is the The Blood compact site of Legazpi and Sikatuna.The Bohol Blood Compact sculpture was made by the National Artist, Napoleon Abueva, a Boholano himself.
Around 6pm the driver took us to PAnglao.
Initial plan was to stay in Alona Beach.having a hard time looking for resorts. As one of the prime tourist destinations in the country, hundreds of people flock to the island especially during the summer. Most resorts is the area are fully booked during the summer and yung rates ng hotel doble presyo.
We were just so lucky to find available room in Paragayo Resort it is located right by the roadside a 5 minutes walk to Alona beach., The rooms are basic.There are no TV's or phones in the rooms The grounds were clean and lush with vegetation.The grounds manicured. Its a wifi area so i can practically check my email thru my Ipod touch. though you need to stay close to the office to access and get a good signal.
