Island hopping continued... Bohol




A 2 hour ferry ride from Cebu brought us to Bohol - one of the top diving and snorkeling spots in the world. It's definitely a touristy place, I'm not sure if I'm in Europe or the Philippines. Our hotel is right on the beach and it's all white sand and gorgeous. You can score 85cent San Miguel Light beers and a $5/hour massages all day long here. It's quiet and sleepy, definitely not a party spot.

Went on a countryside tour and saw the Chocolate Hills - so fascinating. It looks like the land has goosebumps. Saw a butterfly sanctuary and also did a river lunch (i.e. a floating restaurant, a filipino trying to do R&B cover songs, and a lot of weird folk dancing on the shore that you park and watch). Saw monkeys smaller than the size of the palm of my hand (tarsier monkeys). They're sort of cute, but when they open their eyes... their totally gross looking!
