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.
On our way through the roads on Bohol!

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

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. 🙂

Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.
