Have You Tried the Balut?

On the way back to the resort, our driver pulled over to a roadside stand selling balut.

Chocolate Hills of Bohol

We almost missed this, the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Chocolate Hills (Mga Tsokolateng Burol, or Mga Burol na Tsokolate) because we were too tired from exploring Bohol. Wah! We decided last minute to go for it and I am so glad we did. We made it there in time to trek the 214 steps to enjoy the panoramic views.

The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Philippine province of Bohol made up of over 1,200 cone-shaped karst hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns a chocolate-brown during the dry season, making them look like chocolate hills. They are recognized as the Philippines’ 3rd National Geological Monument featured on the PHP200 bill.

Loboc River Lunch Cruise

After seeing the sweet sleepy tarsiers, we decided to grab some lunch, but not any ordinary lunch. We decided to take a river boat cruise lunch.

 Hey there, little guy...

She Sells Sanctuary

The fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary
