good morning
I'm still on panglao Island and I'm not going to Hinagdanan cave
as we explore Bohol now I've driven here from alona beach and it took
about 15 minutes on the motorbike I come to a dead-end road little place called
Dauis, we're still on panglao Island so we haven't got to the main island of
Bohol yet but this is the island of Bohol and it's Hinagdanan cave let's go inside
and see what it's like lots of shops and souvenir things around here here we go
here's the entrance be an entrance fee let's go in see what it's like
up out of the cave you see even though it's hot out here it's quite fresh by
comparison
thank you very much so that's Hinagdanan cave on panglao
Island what a beautiful cave with a tidal pool
on the bottom that beautiful and clear you can swim it's fifty pesos per person
to go inside plus an extra fifty if you want to swim inside water it's really
warm in there and it's very very humid the whole cave is really warm I thought
it was hot outside when I went in when I went in bucketing with sweat almost
felt cool when I came out but yeah thats Hinagdanan cave great easy to get
Alona it's about ten minutes but now i'm gonna find
a bike and go explore some more beautiful Bohol and the early morning
rain had has passed I can see blue skies I better put on the
sunscreen and a hat and the sunglasses let's get goin'
a small break in the exploration while it pours with rain
this is one of the problems of hiring a scooter is that if it rains you either
get wet or have to hide
hiding from the rain under a tree bike's getting a bit wet but hopefully it's just a
short shower the sun is trying to come through already I hope it'll rain a little bit
camera's getting wet, I'm getting wet
hopefully the sun will be out soon
and we'll carry on exploring Bohol
and on the Loboc River
the river that runs through the main part of Bohol
quite scenic and peaceful and beautiful and you can take a river cruise where
you can get a meal a drink and entertainment I think about four hundred
and fifty pesos and it takes about an hour cruise down the river have a sort
of buffet lunch served to you which you have to grab before the Chinese do then
and enjoy the river although I must admit I don't really enjoy them because
they got like karaoke singers on board and you don't really get to see the
beauty of the river, you get singing and fighting over the buffet
Still on Bohol, but on the mainland, near a place called be Bilar and we are in a
man-made forest a beautiful forest, huge trees curving across the road
beautiful area going up there really is nice people are being a bit silly though are
sitting in the road trying take their picture and cars are coming past so just
be a bit sensible when you're here also please no I can't believe people come
here which is a place of nature it's really beautiful man-made forest
you know and I still see people throwing their rubbish down beside the road tossing
it out the car and throwing it down so beautiful area given to nature we're
proud the fact that it's a man-made you know we made a forest Wow and we still
destroying them so please be responsible don't cause an accident by sitting in
the road and doing silly things which I've seen a lot of people doing not
causing an accident but doing silly things and please take your rubbish home
with you but anyway as you drive through if you're driving through from Loboc
River to carmen hills which is the chocolate hills you'll pass through the man-made
forest enjoy
off to the next stop now it's quite a drive whether you're on a tour or a
motorbike to Carmen which is almost in the center of Bohol to see the
chocolate hills now these are limestone hills that in the dry season all the
vegetation turns brown so they look like the area is dotted with Ferrero Roche
chocolates now unfortunately at this time of year after going up there's still a
bit of vegetation so they're just lots of hills that you can imagine are made of
chocolate
we are at the Tarsier centre the Tarsier is a tiny little nocturnal monkey now you
can only see them during the day cuz they're endangered but they're a nocturnal so
they're usually sleeping during the day but there's three or four centers around
the island where you can see them now you're supposed to keep quiet you can hear how
nice and quiet it is here...
not very but you're supposed to keep quiet you mustn't
frighten them you can take pictures but you mustn't use flash because the flash
will frighten them it could possibly give them a heart attack because thery're very
delicate little creatures and there's guards, guides and guards up here
just monitoring because you mustn't touch them mustn't disturb them poor
things are trying to sleep during the day and all these tourists come along
taking pictures with them including the ones that I hope to take for you
aren't they cute?
and that brings me to the end of my roaming around it's now time
to drive back quite a long way from Carmen to Alona and visit alona beach in
the evening now admire the scenery all the way it's
quite amazing how the life that goes on in the island and on the way back I
didn't get to the beach for sunset but I stopped beside the road to watch this
beautiful sunset so let's enjoy this before I take you down to Alona Beach at night
there is alona beach which is on the south of Panglao island which is a good
Beach to go and visit during the day but it really comes to life at night when
this is the road down to alona beach it's supposed to be pedestrianised but
there's still a few things go up and down but it is lined with restaurants
bars cafes souvenir shops massage tattoo parlors drink shops Korean Mart all
sorts of things down here so this is how it goes down to the beach pick your
place to eat, evening, Oh as you'll find somewhere to eat later
with the food like well hope you enjoyed our day in Bohol we didn't touch
well we went round had a great time despite the rain but if you're enjoying
