Bohol - where all the humps are more fun

A tourism tagline in Philippines said that "My Humps is more fun in the Philippines"
an Interesting quote showing a background of the famous 'Chocolate Hills'. Bohol is full of attraction. Within this not-so-big island (4.117.26 sq) you will be entertained be a slice of history, reptiles showcase (not for animal rights defender), unique nature landscape, and of course wherever you go Philippines will always spoiled you with it's beautiful beaches :)


We started our day with a tour in Tagbilaran city:


The Blood Compact
The Sandugo or blood compact is a memorial of a agreement between the native people of Bohol that time with Spaniard who come to Bohol.




                                                 Tagbilaran Church






Marimar and the biggest snake in Bohol
Marimar is definetly the main attraction not the snake itself. I kinda feel sorry to be honest with the snake. Theyhave to captured it and put in a small cage. Poor thing. If you are for animal rights or such this might be not your favorite place. Come and see Marimar; you'll share some good laugh. :)






Loboc River
Relaxing like a boss. Blue sky, green scenery, boat full of food. You'll have nice experience when you cruise along the green river with nature on your surrounding but i will not recommend this for traveller who want to save money or if you just traveling alone. You will get to be in a boat full of food and they entertain you with songs and you will stop at one point to see a traditional dancing performed by children from the area.






Tersier
Tersier is the cutest animal that I've ever seen so far. Of course maybe they can't beat otter but so far me and otter only interact in 9Gag. hehehe
The trip to see tersier is a bit dilemmatic. There is a campaign that they should not exploit tersier with cameras and humans presence since they only breed in small number. But, one you see them they are super cute. they are tiny maybe only as big as your palm. Their ayes are so big it feels like they smile and looking at you like puss in boots. The interesting is  each of the tersier has a guardian and as the privilage the guardian can name the tersier with their name. I might want to have  a tersier name Tatum but I know a chimp name Tatum also,,so I don't know maybe not then. hehehe. You can take pics but please don't use flash and lower your voice when talking.



Chocolate Hills
Yes this is the must-visit place. It's the landmark of Bohol and this is where the tourism department use their slogan: "My Humps is more interesting in the Philippines".
Ok. Speak no more.







Panglao Beach

Where the white sands, dolphin spotting, snorkling (they are going to take you to a small island where you can see a lot of fishes. The trips was super nice one of the highlight from Bohol or sure. But I was a bit  when they try to feed the fishes with bread (I was in Palawan few months after this and the tour guide actually said that it was prohibited to feed fish with bread cos it is no their main food). Fish has natural food which they can find in the corals, being a responsible traveller please do not feed them with bread for your benefit.
