bohol

Our June 2-4 trip to Bohol was the biggest fashion event of the year for our group. Not that it was fashion week in Bohol or Manolo Blahnik held a fashion show at the Bohol Beach Club, it was just the biggest trip our group had in 88 years!! Weeks before the event, almost everyone had their swimsuits and boardshorts ready, and havaianas soaked, brushed, and cleaned (since most of us have light colored flips)! Everytime we go malling, I remember shopping for at least one item that I can use during our stay. It was absolutely the venue for us to showcase our new swimsuits, halter tops, and flipflops! But after seeing the place, the 'fashion show' pala was not actually the main event. It was just Bohol and its richness. I realised that there are just so many things I liked about Bohol.

#1 - The beach - Ganda! White sand, clear waters, plus palm trees surrounding the beachfront were great backdrops for picture taking! We heard that there were also sites for dophin watching (but didn't had the time for it) :(

#4 - Lunch at Loboc River - Sayang it started raining already so the river was not so blue anymore. Still, the experience was nice - the floating restaurant, fresh air, and good food!

#6 - Baclayon Church - Being there and knowing its history gave me goosebumps! This church is like hundreds of years old. Surprisingly, they were able to preserve the benches, altar paintings, murals, and even the confessional box!

I'd go on and on and this list won't stop. The people, the food, the souvenir shops (of course I wouldn't miss this!), the culture of Bohol are so great! Bohol is definitely a place that will be in my travel itenerary in the future. I doubt if my company will take us again there :( Anyways, when I have kids, I'd definitely take them there (hope the tarsiers will still be around for them to see)! :)
