Photo Blog Series: Bohol Day 2

Imagine waking up to this...
 And this..
 The view from outside our window is just majestic. Too bad I'm not a good photographer.
I thought we were hitting the beach this day but turned out, we will be touring around Bohol.
If you have been reading my past posts, I wrote a blog about the things I wanted to do/have/experience before the year ends.
And this is one of them. A picture of a tarsier.
Meet the 114th specie of the tarsier family. HAHA!
The size of a tarsier is only 3-6 inches. This picture above is the biggest and the richest tarsier among the living ones. That is according to the tour guide.
I also learned that tarsiers are territorial and solitary in nature. They wanted to be left alone and commit suicide when they're stressed with their habitat, environment and sometimes the tourists.
In short, tarsiers are the most emoshits creatures in the face of this world!

Does it look bagay on me?
To date, there are only 113 tarsiers living in here since they are already extinct.
This is the Mahogany man made forest.
This man made forest stands out because the big trees are uniformed in height which is amazing!
The temperature abruptly change when we are in this particular area. Cold as it can be. :)
I was praying, I wouldn't get hit by a car! Haha!
This is also a part of my Not-so-to-do-list.
A picture of the chocolate hills! :)
Am I the only one who thought that these were actually edible? :s
I got a little disappointed because it's not so chocolate-y. Haha!
It took a lot of sweat and effort climbing all the way up just to view the whole land of the hills!
This is the biggest tarsier living today! Haha!
These are premature butterflies. Hahaha!
They are now in the process of getting beautified.
It somehow reminded me of the old Butterfly Garden in Botancial Garden at UST during my Elementary Days. Where'd all those butterflies go, btw? Hmm.
I've never seen so many butterflies in my life!
Sorry for the unattractive face. Hahaha!
These are the "mating butterflies" and I learned that they'll be making love for 24 hours straight. Sounds fun? :)
Me spreading my wings like a butterfly. HAHAHA!
For lunch, we dined-in at one of the floating restaurants.
I was really hesitant at first because this kind of reminded me of my experience with Prestige Cruises in Manila. It was horrible!
But luckily, Busai Monark is the total opposite. The food was really good and of generous amount!
Plus, they have live cultural shows with the natives of Bohol performing.
Behind me is the bell tower of the old *Baclayon Church.

I'm not a big fan of historical artifacts but because my brother is such a sucker of old churches, which is obviously given, by the way, I have no choice but to go with them.
Trivia: I have fear of big saints and statues that's why you will not see a single picture of me with it.


This area used to be the Music Room.

What I like about Loboc church is the natural lights from the glass windows around it.
I've been technicolor-ed! It suits my outfit, don't you think? :)

Look at this closely, I swear I had goosebumps the first time I saw this, it has a face of the miraculous Padre Pio. The natives said it just appeared out of nowhere without any explanation at all. Cool right?
And for the last stop of the day, we went to the historical Blood Compact site of Sikatuna.

We love to goof around! :)


If you missed the first three parts of my Holiday getaway, you can read it herehere and here.


Everything is not peachy with our trip. Wanna know why? Wait for the final part of my 5-day Camiguin-Bohol trip.

  1. Hindi ako nakikinig sa mga paliwanag ng mga tour guides about Tarsiers. I was busy taking their pictures.

    Hahaha

    I'm pretty sure that's Baclayon Church, not Loboc.

    Halos magkakapareho pics natin. hahaha!!!
