Days and Nights in beautiful Bohol

8th Apr 2008 by Chris

This year is very special for me.  My honey and I long planned for a vacation trip to Bohol this month of April.  Its his first time to be there, while its my second visit to Bohol.  Even so, I was also very excited about visiting Bohol again, since the last time was really a very short visit (since we just island hopped from Cebu).

The schedule for Bohol visit was perfect for the tour, but not for the tourist! haha..  Our flight was scheduled at 5:30am.  My honey was coming from Fairview and the night/day before was also hectic.  We didn’t have the chance to sleep at all!  It was actually a very tiring night before the flight.  I had to pack some more items that night, and I really had to rush complete an item due for one of my projects that time.  My honey, thinking that it would be more of a headache to sleep for just an hour or so, decided to pass up on sleeping and just rest while we were on the way to Bohol.  It could’ve been perfect, except that, the hardest part was actually to try and stay awake while waiting for the plane!

We arrived at 7am and the tourist guide was already there.  It could’ve been nice to hit the day tour, except that we were so exhausted that we’d rather stay in bed for awhile.. Haha! Talk about sleeping out for half a day in what could’ve been a place for maximizing tour and gimmick!  Oh, but before the gratifying sleep, we had (one of ) the best breakfast of our days in the restaurant beside our resort/hotel.  It was called “Powder Keg“.

That afternoon and evening, we spent it walking by the beach, and checking out the food and the bars and restos.  The beach of Panglao is a white beach.  Some of the natives are proud to say that their beach is as white as what is found in Boracay and is not as crowded.  Its true that the beach is as white as the sands of Boracay (as my Honey says so), and I certainly agree that its less crowded in Panglao.  There were many foreigners too, but not as what I usually see in news reports regarding Boracay.  I was very happy to be there with my honey, just relaxing and having fun. After the first day and night in Bohol, the next day was allotted for the day tour. more…
