So I'm in the jungles of Bohol, Philippines.
And in this video,
we're going to explore this area.
Good morning,
everyone, from the island of Bohol
in the Philippines.
I'm literally in the jungle right now
in this really cute cabin,
which is nothing more
than a bed and an A/C.
And I think that's it.
There's like a toilet inside
that I didn't even notice
when I first came here.
It used like
the common toilets back there.
And I got here yesterday
on a bike or a scooter
that I rented from the Port of Bohol.
And that was a rough drive, man.
I just learned to ride a scooter
a week ago or less than a week ago
in Siquijor.
So I was not ready for carrying
my 30 kilogram
backpacks into a city,
then up the hills, and into a jungle.
That was terrifying.
I was going so slow
just so I don't crash.
But I made it here
and it was nice sleeping here.
I got woken up by a rooster this morning
when I was trying to get some sleep.
But that's okay.
That's what happens
when you're in the rural parts,
I guess.
So today I'm
changing hostels actually
in the next 15, 20 minutes.
This is not a hostel.
This is like some chalet cabin thingy.
But I'm going to a hostel
getting a private room
so I can throw my stuff away.
And then I'm going to show you guys
the coolest things in Bohol
or the coolest things
based on what I could find
on the Internet.
So for the first stop of the day,
we're going to go to this sanctuary
with this very special kind of animal
that you can pretty much only find here
from what I understand, with my scooter.
So we’re entering the sanctuary
right now for tarsier monkeys.
My guide is taking me there.
And during the day,
these monkey sleeps so I have to talk
really quitely, really softly.
So there's 200 in the sanctuary? - Yeah
Saw the first one,
but couldn't get it on camera.
It's up there.
So we're looking for another one.
So we found one right here behind me.
But
this is a nocturnal animal,
so they're like sleeping and staying
really still during the day.
Thankfully
we were able to see some more ones,
which were like a lot closer to us.
And I was able
to get a better view of them.
And they're like, so freaking cute.
They look a little scary.
They look a lot like um..
Dobby from Harry Potter,
if you watched the movies.
But they're like super cute.
They're like, so quiet, moving so slowly.
Most of them were kind of asleep
except for the last one,
which was like kind of wide awake,
it seemed like, in the middle of the day.
But some of them
do stay awake
in the middle of day so that’s not too weird.
And these sleep during the
day because they hunt insects at night
and that's what they eat.
They're like the only
carnivorous
primate out there.
Alright, now this place is closing.
So we're going to go for a sunset
to somewhere pretty. Hopefully,
it's not going to be too cloudy.
So it's 5:20 (p.m.) and we just got here.
Looks like it's going to rain.
But we finally got to a viewpoint
to see the Chocolate Hills
that I can see right there.
They look more yellow
or green than chocolate right now.
Ok so to go to
this particular viewpoint,
you have to pay like 100 pesos.
We tried to go to another spot,
which was supposed to be free,
but we couldn't even find the way
to that free viewpoint.
So we just came back here.
Heading to the viewpoint.
Those are the famous
Chocolate hills
or greenish-yellow hills right behind me.
So I'm going to try
to get off the platform
and try to get some better shots
somewhere else.
Alright guys, so this is the second day.
And I’m catching a flight
from Cebu City to Coron now.
But in order to catch that flight,
had to take this two-hour ferry
from Bohol to Cebu city.
I missed the ferry
that I was trying to get
because I took longer than I expected
to get to the port with my bike.
So this ferry that I’m on is going to get
to Cebu, to the port
85 minutes
or 80 minutes
before my flight,
and then I have to take a 30 minute taxi
and then I have to catch my flight,
so I think there's a pretty good chance
I'll be missing this flight
and there's no more flights today.
I might have to spend the night
in Cebu City again,
but hopefully that's not the case.
Hopefully I can make it to Coron today
so I can have like three days there.
And that's my last
stop in the Philippines.
So this was a really short vlog.
