Leave nothing but footprints,
take nothing but pictures,
and kill nothing but time.
Well, as I mentioned in my last blog, my mother loves travelling so let me share with you our Bohol trip. We brought her in Bohol because she wanted to go to different places. Bohol is an Island located in the Visayas and it is near to Leyte and Cebu Islands. It is famous for its stunning tourist spots like chocolate hills, white sand beaches, man-made forest, tarsier and many more.
We headed first to Butterfly Sanctuary. I love butterflies so I included this in our itinerary. This tourist spot is great for children because they would definitely learn and see the actual life cycle of the butterfly. Although I had already learned it way back in my elementary days but visiting this kind of place still fascinates me.
Look at her, she was really enjoying the butterfly on her palm. I was glad that I was able to capture this photo. I had captured the moment while she enjoyed looking at the butterfly.
Feels like I am a butterfly too. I was amazed of their creativity. One of their staff approached and told me to stay few meters away in front of the window glass and she let me turned my head back. Look at the result. It is nice, isn't it? I was instructed to turn my head back on the left side.
And on my right side as well. Do you find it creative? Let me know in the comment box below.
So next we headed to loboc river, we had our lunch there. The place was serene. After I had eaten my lunch, I just quitely sit in the corner and enjoyed sight seeing. Believe me, it was truly relaxing. While we were eating our lunch there was a group of musician serenading us. It was another great experience.
After we had our lunch we headed to Chocolate Hills. I was worried about my mother's knee because we have to climb stairs in order to get into the peak. I thought she could not make it but hats off to her, she was well-determined and look at her, she made it.
While I am writing this part, I smiled because I remember a funny thing when I was a kid. I thought there's a lot of chocolates inside the Chocolate Hills that's why they named it chocolate hills. Funny, right? Check this out. Why is it called Chocolate Hills?
Have you seen chocolate hills behind us?
After a long fulfilling day, we headed to Alona Beach Resort for our dinner. I like the place but not that much because it was crowded. Well, it was weekend so expect that there are lots of tourist going around. We had our dinner by the sea. It was a lovely night with my mother and other siblings.
While the crew served our food, I was impressed by how they put art of the food they serve to us. Amazingly they used cucumber as a saucer. They just took away everything inside the cucumber and that's it. Amazing, right?
That's we called creativity.
After our dinner, we strolled around the shore, took photos and just enjoyed the rest of the night.
We had a picture taking under the tree. The tree has full of lights but some of it was unseen in the photo because it was not perfectly captured.
Just in front of Henann Resort, I love the view so I grabbed my phone and let my sister took a photo of me.
On our second day, we woke up early and headed to Panglao beach. I was hiking using my barefoot. It felt great. Have you done that before?
My mother again. She's not a camera shy. She loves picture taking. How about your mother?
Actually, I did not write this but since we saw this while roaming around, I suddenly made a pose to it.
The backpackers were ready to return back home.
After we settled everything, my mother requested me to take her a photo.
Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!
Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.
