Believe it or not.. despite this being the largest gallery here (so far), it is only a small portion of what Bohol has to offer. I went along as a travel-companion with Delia for something of a whirlwind short tour since she was actually there for some business. I forgot to take my camera to Alona beach, which I plan to return to and do a photo shoot there since it is just SO incredibly beautiful there, day and night.
We visited part of the island of Panglao, and even then only a few locations since a storm was making it’s way in. I was so impressed with the natural beauty of Bohol that within four hours I was completely convinced I HAD to move there. I didn’t have plans of moving when I got on the boat that morning.. but hopefully by March of 2013 I’ll be relocated to Bohol so I can spend more time exploring this beautiful place. For now, enjoy the photos I did get during our brief visit. Be sure to hit the F11 Key on your keyboard so you can enjoy the pictures in full view. Enjoy!..

As you exit the Pier at Tagbilaran you’ll see this place on the left side. Nice view, lame food.
View from a place we stopped for some lunch on the pier. Bad food, good view.

This little Tarsier didn’t seem too pleased we’d awakened him. Their nocturnal creatures.

A renovation on one of the local churches that is over 200 years old. Some very nice artwork is part of the architecture.

Boarding the Oceanjet.. but not before holding up the line to take a photo.
On board the fast-ferry.. much like airplane seating.
Delia and I.. on our way. Smooth sailing, took about 90 minutes.

The local gym.
This is where the local kids go to play badminton or basketball at the end of the day.
Beyond the end of the pier, at Tagbilaran, is a much better chicken place that has great food!

Finishing up lunch with some Halo-Halo Buko. Mmm mm!
This sign says, “If boat sinks.. run really fast THIS way.”
Under my mosquito net, getting ready for my first night’s sleep “in da jungle”, staying in an open Nipa hut. Pretty cool.. I liked it.
That’s the place I may be moving into in March.. just on the left-hand side. Kinda hard to see with all the trees.
My wonderful host made up a fantastic breakfast for me out in the province of Tagbilaran.
Thinking some ‘buko’ juice would be really good right about now.
A friend of mine nabs a few coconuts so we can have some buko-juice.
I just love all this greenery. I’ve lived in the desert for almost all of my life, or the city.. this is such a welcome change. 🙂

Weighing a pig just before slaughter. Yah, that was awkward.. and noisy. Ack.
About sundown the kids come out to shoot some hoops.

One of the neighbors raises fighting cocks. This bad boy looks like a bruiser.
Lots of roosters around here.
Who says there aren’t chicks to be found in the jungle?

These are tiny, red peppers that are very popular here.. mixed with soy sauce and vinegar for dipping bbq chicken. 🙂
Bohol is so intoxicating! Mine was also a whirl-wind day tour to this fairy-tale place. And I’m completely convinced that it was one of the best days of my life. You’re so enviably fortunate to have chosen it as your next residence. Maybe I’ll meet you there someday. 🙂
By the time I am settled in Bohol and you are back here we can do a more relaxed visit to your favorite location with your family. 🙂
Wonderful photos.
I was in Bohol July (2013) and I’m looking at the same exact photos that I took! Have you been to the Bohol Bee Farm? They have some great food there! How about the Tarzier Botanical Garden near Alona Beach? Beautiful grounds there with sculptures (It’s very zen!).
I went to just about all the tourist places, except for the bee farm. But, it gives me a good excuse for another trip there. 🙂
Hello sir,
Awesome content, very informative. I’m planning a stay in Dumaguete in July, flying into Cebu.
Any recommendations for transportation from Cebu to Dumaguete?
Would appreciate any information. Thanks!
Getting to Duma from Cebu, there are 3 options..
Fly – from Cebu/Mactan airport to Duma. About $35 via Cebu Pacific, takes about 45 minutes air-time. Lands in Duma, about ten minutes from downtown. Can take a tricylce (no taxis in Duma) or van from airport to downtown where all the hotels are. Most are near the park.
Ferry – from Pier 1 at Cebu pier. About $15 via Oceanjet ferry. Get your ticket at least 2 hours prior to departure at any travel agency in the mall. If you get your ticket 24 hours prior, you get a discount. (usually) Takes about 6 hours. Stops at Bohol and then arrives at Dumaguete boardwalk/pier. Can get either cabin inside with a movie or outdoor seating on the deck. (covered w/shade)
Bus – from Cebu Ceres Bus Terminal (3 blocks from Elizabeth Mall) via Ceres bus. About $7, no advance ticket needed, just get on the bus and they collect payment while en route. Takes about 5 hours. No bathroom on bus but they stop midway for 10 minutes at a place that has a bathroom. Bus will go aboard a ferry (70 pesos) which gets you to the next island. You continue on the same bus to Dumaguete. Arrive either very early in the morning to ensure getting a seat or at least an hour before departure and expect it to be crowded.
Wow! Didn’t even consider flying from Cebu. Thanks! Looks that that would be a great option for me.
