Hi mylotters! I've been to Bohol last May 22-23, 2010.. Wow! what a great experienced.. Well, I live here in Cebu one of the best island in the Philippines. My friends and I had a great time together in Bohol Island. We were amazed by the tourists spots there. On our first day there we stopped at the "Hinagdanan Cave" its kinda dark there and there are bats in the ceiling of the cave. The water inside the cave is very cold. They said it came from a spring. Some of the native there did swim when we were there. Tourists come and go. After Hinagdanan Cave we looked for a place to rest for a night, we were lucky because our friend of ours had a friend there and offer their house for us to have some rest. We go to the beach "Dumaluan beach resort" we had a night swimming and it's fun the beaches there was cool. Most of the beaches there having a white sand. We took some pictures at "Bohol Beach Club" one of the famous beach resort in Bohol. The second day of our visit we stopped at the "Blood Compact" of Legazpi and Sikatuna. This act is considered as the first "Treaty of Friendship" between the brown and white races. Next to that we went to see "Prony" its a big big snake. It was captured last October 21, 1996 with 5 ft. long and weighted 5 kls. at year 2005 Prony weighted 200 kls. and 23 ft. long with a body of 30 inches.. huh! imagine that.. The owner feed Prony 1 whole pig in a month or 1 whole goat twice a month. Next to our list, the Tarsier, it is a smallest primate on earth. They are so cute.. After that we went to Loboc River took our lunch in the Floating Restaurant. The food was good. Next stopped was the Man Made Forest, took some pictures of the tall trees. Then we stopped at the Hanging bridge, it was made of bamboo.. Next to it was Chocolate Hills one of the tourists spots in Bohol. Wow!..God is good He created things like that big mountains formed of cone shape. Its a mystery of beauty made by Him. Our last stopped was at Danao, Bohol. Ziplining, Bungee jumping and Cable Car were at that place. Extremes Sports as they said. My friends and I tried ziplining. Wow!..its a nice feeling.. I know some of us dream to fly. Hehehe..if you will try ziplining that's the time you're flying. At first my sister and I were scared but when we're at middle of the line its amazing..Yeheey! we're flying. Great!.. Bohol indeed is a great place!.. I love to go back in that place, there are place that we want to visit but we didn't go because our time was not enough.. But all in all.. thumbs up for Bohol!..

How I wish I could visit that place as well. I've only seen pictures of friends visiting Bohol and the scenery looks awesome. I want to see the famous Chocolate Hills but I'm not sure what time of year they would look like Chocolate. The floating restaurant would also be on my list. By the way, how was the food and the service there? There's that famous church too in Bohol,right? Definitely, I would want to see Bohol beaches.

Hi there!. Bohol indeed a great place. They said when the leaves are dried thats the time it looks like chocolate. The floating restaurant was nice too! Their food is good. While your floating you can see some great trees surrounds the river. You will be entertained by the Boholanons through dancing and singing. At the end of the river you can see a small water fall where people also stop by to take a swim. Yeah, that's Baclayon Church that's famous too!..we went there but did not go inside because there's a mass going on. We took some pictures there.. Great beaches I must say.. You should go there and experience the beauty that God had created. Have a nice day!

Me too!.. I thought its made of real chocolate. Yeah, its so nice there. I love the tourists spots. I know you can visit Bohol just like my friends and I, we planned this for a long time and now we've been there already. Its just a matter of saving our allowance and salaries. Just keep on looking so that you could come to Bohol. Wish you luck my friend. Have a nice day!

Yeah, I heard a lot of positive feedback from the people who've been to bohol. My partner's family originated from bohol. And am thinking of moving in bohol for good. The'y owe vast track of land which I think very healthy to cultivate and develop for tourist spot. Bohol may not be that known enough to all but with all the feedback coming from people been to bohol, more and more people are tempted to go there. I am proud not because I've been there but because I know I will have my chance to live there. I will have the opportunity to listen to the world class Choir composed of very young talented orphans. I will see the one of the world's wonders of nature!
