Day 1:
Landing in(on?) Bohol. I hate these kinds of pictures but my parents always insist that we take them.
First stop is the Blood Compact site. I actually saw the bronze version of this sculpture in the Manila Metropolitan Museum. This one is made of stone I think but it boggles me how they made the raised arms.
Here are the Chocolate Hills. They're huge! And some vanity pics, I obviously need to sleep some more.
Now on to this rickety bamboo bridge. It is relatively safe as there are steel(?) cables supporting the structure but the bamboo still bears the brunt of the weight.
I just can't resist. The nuns look so cute.
It was so slippery, I lost my balance and dropped my book. Fortunately, it just suffered the mud and not the water.
Next is lunch in the floating restaurant. It was nice and even beautiful, after you accept the fact that the river will never be blue as the sky because of the silt, sand and mud. The food was not THAT delicious but I like the langka dish and their pansit.
Of course, how could we forget the Tarsier. We didn't go to the reserve. We went to this shop where they show the tarsiers to tourists. It's really an ugly place and I can't believe the DoT, DENR and the LGU of Bohol allows it.
Inside a nice cave. There is a deep pool of water; it's just too bad I do not have my shorts with me.
In the hotel(Bohol Diver's Club), after a long long day.
End of day 1

Day 2 and 3 will be on the next post. I'm tired of this very slow internet connection and I hate crappy blogger upload tool(I used photobucket instead).
