Bohol is like a second home to me.. a place not too distant and unfamiliar since both my mom and dad grew up on that island..
my mom came from Mabini, while my Dad from Tagbilaran City.. we also have relatives (some i haven’t even seen in person..) in various Bohol towns including Carmen, Corella, Mabini, and Garcia-Hernandez..
we’ve been visiting the province every summer or holiday vacations as far as i could remember.
i grew up loving Bohol!.. not just because of its natural beauty, rich flora and fauna, mouth-watering “calamays”, peanut kisses and broas, but also because of the warm hospitality that’s uniquely Boholano..
but my previous trip to Bohol last March 26-28, 2010 was definitely one of a greatest trip in my life!.. memorable indeed!!… super duper fun!
the Bohol trip was just a random lunchbreak chika with my classmates.. desperate to break free from all our school plates and deadlines, we joked about going on a trip right after ditching college. i didnt expect for it to come true!.. hahahaha!..
here’s our Final ITINERARY:
arrival, Hinagdanan Cave, panglao island, E.A.T. Danao, Chocolate Hills, G1 island ATV rentals, Loboc River cruise, Busay Falls, Loctob Spring, Bohol Bee farm, departure…
and the fourteen DAREDEVILS:
(the fourteenth was holding the camera.. who was it?!..)
