My trip to Bohol didn´t start very well...it began with that I was going to take the ferry from Cebu. I went up early in the morning to catch the first ferry but when I arrived at the pier around 6 a clock the ferry was already fullbooked because of the celebrations of holy week and I had to wait 3 hours before I could go.
When I arrived in Bohol I first took the tricycle, then the jeepney and after that the motorcycle to reach the hotel that I booked. When I finally got there the room that I already paid for turned out to be dubblebooked..not a very nice surprise after having to travel the hole day...the funny thing was that when I did the booking it said that they hade three more rooms still available but the guests in the room that I booked already arrived there the day before me...anyway I got help to book another (not very nice) hotel room and after some problems I also got my money back from the other hotel.
The next issue was that I was supposed to meet up with a friend in Bohol but since he lost his phone the day before I didn't have any chance to reach him. I didn't know when he would arrive either so I had to tell the guy from the first place to send my friend to the other hotel when he got there...all a mess and very stressfull but it all ended up well in the end!
The place I never got the chance to stay at:
We decided to rent a motorbike to explore the island, first stop was to see the tarsiers:
Sleepy tarsier that got disturbed by my phototaking:
Man Made Forest:
When we were on the motorcycle on our way to chocolate hills we passed a religious proccession
Arrived in chocolate hills but it was already to dark to take pictures when we got there ;)
Next day we went to try the zipline!
Had a great view over the river!
Loboc River
Night views from Alona beach:
Took a ride along the coast to reach Anda beach
This trip didn't turn out exactly the way we expected...firstly it was a lot longer trip then we thought and after we had been going for quite a while we felt there was something strange with the motorbike so we decided to stop at the gas station to check what was wrong...when we got there they looked at the wheel and showed us that 10 of the spokes were broken! They said we could get it fixed just 50 meters ahead and Paul asked if we could drive the motorbike there but they told us; No no no...so I guess we were really lucky to stop on time and not get in to an accident!
Finally got to Anda beach:
Views along the way:
In the night we saw a tree full of fireflies, unfotunately it's not very easy to catch it on photo so this is the best I could do:
The outcome of going on the motorbike in the sun for a few days:
Had a great time going around Loboc and it was a nice change driving by motorbike, deciding ourselves where, when and how to go! Next mission is to learn how to drive the motorbike myself ;D
