BOHOL - CEBU 2009
March 21 - 23
We booked our ticket via Cebu Pacific, Manila to Cebu round trip ticket that cost 700+ php per pax. This is my first flight, first out of town and first vacation with my BFF!
BFF (wacky team)
Touring Cebu and Bohol would not be a problem for us, because luckily Lhuz's uncle will accompany us through the whole trip. He was working in Cebu but living in Bohol, he fetch us at Mactan's airport. We took the taxi to SM Cebu and had dinner there and we go straight to the port. Yes to the port that will take to Tagbilaran, it was almost 10pm when we reach the port. We take the RORO, because at that time that is the only available ferry to reach Tagbilaran, it would took 5 or more hours of travel. We slept at the cabin of the ferry, it's comfortable though.

Arriving so early in the morning, we go to Tagbilaran Church for the Sunday Mass (March 22, 2009).
How cute these trykes outside the church, it's something new to us ^^ (can't see these in Manila or Bulacan)
Planning for a half day touring Bohol, after having breakfast we head to another Lhuz's relatives, we freshen up ^^ So relatives are really helpful, they even get us a van that we rented for the tour.
First stop: Mag-aso Falls
Located in Antequera, Bohol
Beautiful falls, you can enjoy swimming in this place too.
2nd stop: Blood Compact
scenery from Blood Compact
Third Stop: Baclayon Church
Fourth Stop: PRONY Python! ^^
Prony was sleeping! See how brave I am :P
Fifth Stop: Loboc River
We already had lunch before we go here, so we did not take the cruise.
Sixth Stop: Loboc Tarsier
These cute little creatures asleep during the day (nocturnal), when taking pictures please make sure to turn off the flash.
Seventh Stop: Hanging Bridge
The infamous Buko King is also located here, some pasalubongs can be bought here too.
Eight Stop: Man Made Forest
Ninth Stop: Chocolate Hills
End of day tour, we contracted the van to drive us in UBAY, wherein Lhuz's relative resides. It is more than 2 hours drive from Carmen (Chocolate Hills) to Ubay. Nap time at the road, kinda exhausted from touring.
Reaching Ubay, I must say that I'm really at rural place. Well I got to experience riding habal habal, kinda scared a bit. We just can't miss to enjoy the beach in Bohol, even it's already night we hit the beach! ^^
Spending the night at Lhuz's relatives, then tomorrow will be heading to Cebu.

Now ready for Cebu, we head to Port Tubigon, which is the nearest link to Cebu City.

Arriving Cebu (again), we waited for Lhuz's Aunt who will be our tour guide in Cebu. ^^ But we don't have much time, we will just visit the Sto.Nino Cathedral and Magellan's Cross. We also bought some pasalubongs near the cathedral.
