Bohol, home of chocolate hills

traveling 1 hr via plane from Manila to Tagbilan city is a quick travel when you are excited to see a place you had never been before.  We spend the entire 3 days traveling around Bohol and yet, we still did not able to visit the pristine beaches of Panglaw to have some dolphin watching at a very early hour.
My adventure in Danao is unforgettable specially the zipline and cave exploration. traveling it for 2 hours is worth!  Of course i surely would not miss the famous chocolate hills in this place.  A truly wonder of nature! it seems God playfully put some kisses-like hills of almost the same sizes in one relevant range. And who will not enjoy the smallest tarsier that will only be found here in the Philippines.
Dried fish is abundant here

the blood compact happened here

visiting Anawangin



Anawangin is one the island in Zambales, where you can live back to basic for a while.  No electricity, no cellfone signal, pump to get some water, and sleep in a tent or in an open sky in the beach stretch.  Enjoy the pristine white sand and sky blue water of the beach. you can reach the island by hiking for 5 hours or enjoy the motorboat ride for 20 minutes.
