Bohol Day 2: Countryside Tour
The package we availed with Dumaluan Beach Resort includes City Tour and Dolphin watching. We started our Day 2 by having breakfast at the resort. We were then escorted by a resort's staff to our van for our City tour.
Sunrise
Our first stop is the Blood Compact site. The view from the site is really breath taking. We just took photos then off to our next destination.
Baclayon Church was our second stop. It really feels good to visit a Catholic church that is outside Manila. This is one of the oldest church in the Philippines. Our guide told us that we can see Padre Pio's image on the church's side post and another image (which I forgot) on the next post. My sister and I were wearing a short shorts so we were asked to wrap a cloth around our waist - instant skirt. Hihi. There are also religious figures upon entrance to the church.
Our next destination was the house of the biggest python of Bohol - Prony. It was huge! Really huge! Haha, Prony is accompanied by a bird and monkey inside the cage. Even the caretaker is inside the cage. Amazing! Outside the cage was another entertainer who jokes a lot about Prony. Here's the only joke I remembered "once a month lang kumakain si Prony ng baboy, kasi baka ma high blood, puro cholesterol". Haha. :p
Here's is where you should buy your peanut kisses. :)
After all the jokes and thrills, it's already lunch time so we headed to the Loboc River for our lunch cruise. Food is just okay but nothing really special. Jerellt told me not to miss the chicken, but sadly, all the chicken was gone . Luckily, Boyps got 1. Yipee. Hihi. There are crabs, veggies, barbeque, chicken, soup, pansit and a lot more on the buffet table.
We are all enjoying the view while having lunch. We are also serenaded by Manong Singer.

Before we go back to the starting point, we stopped for some entertainment. :) They are all friendly, bubbly and talented.
After filling our hungry stomachs, we are now ready to see our country's smallest primate, the Tarsiers. This creature is nocturnal (animals who are awake during the night) so we were lucky enough to capture tarsiers with their eyes widely opened. Hihi. We were accompanied and lectured by the animal's care taker. He said that a quick touch to a tarsier can lead them to death. Super sensitive. But a visit to this place is really priceless. It's not something a tourist can find in any other places. Yahoo - this is a dream come true. :)
 Shy with a smile
 Shocked :p
Next stop is the Butterfly Farm. I really had fun here. I love taking pictures of butterflies. It's not easy to capture one so it feels to good when I get to have one like I had in Taiwan. But here, butterfly seems to be friendly and cooperative :p Every guest (or group of guests) will be escorted by the farm's in-house tour guide. He added fun to our tour. He was also our photographer.
I got so excited after hearing that our next destination is the Chocolate Hills. I finally got a chance to see one of the Philippines' best! The hills are already visible on the area where the van dropped us but we still conquered the 100+ steps just to get a better view of the hills. And it's all worth it! I'm letting the pictures speak for themselves.

Off to our last stop - the hanging bridge. This is where we bought our pasalubongs and souvenir items.
Before we go back to our hotel, we bought some chicken and rice for our dinner. Tipid mode e tsaka kelangan ng madaming extra rice. Haha.

We were back at Dumaluan at around 6 pm. It rained when we were in Chocolate Hills, so I assumed that it also rained in some parts of the city. The song is so true. There's a rainbow always after the rain. :p
It's not yet too late to see the sunset so we went to the other side of the resort. We pass through other resorts until we reached the end - not actually the end but close to it. We didn't go farther because it's getting dark.
 Going back again to our hotel.

Our day 2 was extremely tiring yet very fun. :)
