We took an hour long flight to the island of Bohol. We only stayed on this island for 1 night, so we arranged a tour package to see all of the major sites of Bohol. They picked us up in a van at the airport and then we were off to site-see.
1565 blood compact between Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, the chieftain of Bohol. A blood compact was intended to seal a friendship, pact, or treaty, or to validate an agreement.
Python Sanctuary…this snake is still alive but doesn’t move because of obesity.
We paid $2.50 to have this “ladyboy” do a comical rendition of Mariah Carey…Mason wasn’t impressed.
“Hanging Bridge” made of some steel wire, but mostly bamboo.
We paid this guy $2.50 to husk a coconut with his teeth…He did it under 10 seconds.
Trying to get tickets for lunch and the guys got rushed by strangers who wanted their photo taken with blonde hair, blue eye, good looking foreigners.
Lunch buffet while floating down the Loboc River. We had our own private musician for our boat.
Dancers we saw while on the Loboc River.
You can see Tarsiers (smallest primate) at Bohol.
At the last stop of our tour we saw more tarsiers just before closing time and the worker put one on our hands.
Last stop on our tour was a super fun kids play area.
Walking around Nate’s old mission area trying to find food and to see if Nate recognizes anything from nearly 15 years ago.
We stayed at a pretty run down place, but it was near the ferry port. We all loaded up into 2 trikes and headed to the ferry terminal to go to Cebu.
While waiting to board the ferry boat there was a family of musicians to entertain us. The youngest daughter was a really good singer.
Ready to get inside a poorly air conditioned ferry boat for the next 30-60 minutes to go to Cebu.
