Work under Pleasure! ( Bohol Trip )

November 2011
( late post )

Ang byaheng ito ay ang pinakamagandang travel ko for 2011. Aside from going in this beautiful tourist spot, this travel is absolutely FREE!!! So lucky for us to have our annual sales planning here, its  indeed a work under pleasure ^_^

Iterinary for the whole trip. ( Ang Hectic! )

 

From Manila, a one and a half hours flight to Tagbilaran airport c/o Cebu Pacific ^_^



 

Arriving at Tagbilaran Airport

 

From the airport, riding our rented coaster van

 

This is my first time in Bohol and one of their famous resort here is Bohol Beach Club. The Resort beside the sea is really a hit especially its amenities and FOOD!

 

 

Welcome to the paradise ^_^

Basically, our first day is for our formal sales planning discussion. Honestly, this is a formal discussion but it doesnt bored me! Maybe because we are indeed inspire by the nice ambiance ^_^

Conference Room..its work work work ( no complains ^_^ )

Work is done! Its time to Parteeee!!!

After the half day work, its time to experience Bohol's night life. Alona Beach front is the name for food, music and firedance!!! Each restau here has acoustic or live band entertainers and some have kid fire dancers.

Fresh seafoods! Choose your fish and presto, they 'll cook it ! Namit ^_^

Kid fire dancer. Its entertaining though I am a bit sad, its child laboring!!!

Amazing footprint in the sand..

I like the painting in the background..ummm... thats infamous!

After a heavy dinner, time for a little alcohol. its a mini mart at the opening street of Alona.

Ending this night is a ZZzzzzzzzz

 

 

The following day, we started our Bohol tour  by waking up at 5am to hunt the Dolphins! Yeah! We ride the boat ( with life vest ofcoarse! ) going Pamilacan Island which is infamous with the playfull dolphins. Tip for travellers, get up early if you want to see the Dolphins because at 7am, no might not be seeing one. ( sorry, I dont got a shot of the Dolphins ;-( )

 

 

We saw the Dolphins twice and the fun part of it is the chase! haha boats are speeding in circles just to catch them! playfull indeed!

Next destination, Balicasag Island. This is famous for their scuba diving and snorkling. And yes, its rewarding! you can find Nemo here! too bad, I doesnt have an underwater camera ;-( Babalikan kita promise! Locals here offer snorkling gears which you can rent at 100pesos each such as shoes and snorkling gear itself. From the seaport, you need to ride a small boat in which will take you at the snorkling spot at the middle of the sea. Its my first time to try this and I feel comfortable since the locals do a close monitoring of their passenger. They make sure that they keep an eye on you to avoid accidents. The water current is a little abnormal so I guess thats the reason why they wont let you swim alone. We saw a lot of dancing and colofull fishes and a lot of beautiful corals as well.

I forgot to mentioned the locals here do the cooking! And its the best lunch so far!

After the snorkling fun, we decided to go at Virgin Island. And oh, its heaven!!!!

Virgin Island

Okay, I have a fan at my side, hehe

Un model!!! haha

Buko time! Locals here offer Buko and some are selling Pearls in the forms of earrings,rings and necklace.

Beach to Swimming Pool at Bohol Beach Club

On our third day, we went to the four  top tourist spots in Bohol.

1. Blood Compact- historically, the locals made a deal with the foreigners through ancient ceremony called Blood Compact.

 

2. Tarsiers - this is a dream come true, I always wanted to see tarsiers since this is so infamous all over the world. According to our tour guide, the oldest tarsier in the area is a sixteen year old tarsier. No flash of cams are allowed inside the place since tarsiers are prone to shocks and suicidal when caught off guard. They are so tiny that I think if I hold them their bones will crash. haha Entrance fee is at 50  pesos per head. Not bad.

3. Chocolate Hills - hills that turned into color brown especially during summer, hundreds of it are sooo amazing.

4. Loboc River Cruise- THE BEST PART!!! Big big dream is to go here and to sing infront of the crowd!!! haha and I am sooo happy that it actually happened!!! yehey!!!! "I'll never go far away from you..lalala "....

Entrance of the floating restau at 750pesos per head



The cruise lasted for about 45 minutes crossing the famous Loboc River. Such an amazement seeing a clean river with large floating restaus with singers.

A pit stop in Loboc River wherein "Itas" are located . picture taking was  allowed with pay.

My Best moment!!! Singing in Loboc River Cruise ^_^

A nice sales lady in Loboc River, very warm and accomodating!

We really do have a lot of fun here at Bohol but the most memorable part is that, eventually, our flight was cancelled! Hohoho, its because its raining in Manila, they cancelled the flight so we extended for another night there and luckily, Cebu Pac shouldered all the accomodations, transpo and food for the night and we got a free one way ticket too!!! Yehey! As of the moment we are still finalizing to where we will use our free flight ..ummm...A Complete Work under Pleasure Trip indeed ^_^

Happy Bohol Trip Summiteers!!!
