BOHOL - CEBU TRIP
It
was a trip long planned... a trip subject for changes... a trip subject
for cancellation...but whatever happens, my appetite for a good
travel..... RULES!!!
We're about to set foot to Philippine's Jewel and The Queen City of the South!!!
I started collecting
information from back reading through blogs and forums just to get the
better picture as to how this adventure would go about... but then again
since this trip was almost a year planned, our SG-KL Trip transpired first before this all happened....
The Adversary:
A magnitude 6.7
earthquake hit the Visayas Region just a month before this trip... and I
some sort of backed out... was too afraid, and I was brave enough to
tell my friends that I was a chickening out just because of the
earthquake. Mixed emotions hovered over me...the thought of not going
there sickened the whole of me...So the verdict is not to really go. On
the week itself just 2 days before this day... precisely on a Monday
March 12, 5 AM just as I woke up, a realization of an adventurer came
rushing in ... I thought "there's no way ANGST will stop me from this. I
will not miss this adventure just because of my fear!!! EVER!
The rush:

| As I quoted on my 2012 planner |
Since we already booked ourselves almost a year now, still we don't
have place to stay at. So the scenario was we were all frantic... I
assigned myself to Bohol Countryside tour plus the accommodations of
course... I was really lucky that Naldix our tour guide replied on all
my inquiries since day one of backreading... and was so lucky that even
for a short notice he accommodated us. He even gave us a very reasonable
price for the package... P11610 for 7 pax. My partner took in charge
of Cebu Day 1 accommodation plus inquiries to ferries going to Bohol
and Vice Versa. We got ourselves a 2 way ticket from Cebu-Bohol from Ilink.ph.
Quite expensive though, but we don't want all the hassle of falling to
long ques, that's the reason why online payment was made right?

The Flight:
Flight
via Cebu Pacific @ 10:15 PM with 20 Minutes delay... what do you
expect? Sometimes all last flight out are meant to be delayed, yeah?
Cebu Domestic Airport
 |
A good hour flight and touchdown to Mactan's Domestic Airport! Tiredness rules and we'd better hurry for tomorrow's gonna be day. A five hour stay @ Sampaguita Suites in Plaza Garcia did the trick for a quick beauty rest. Some wasn't able to get some sleep, some were so sluggish to even get up... It's gonna be one day for the group...
Tagbilaran City's port is 2 hours away from the port of Cebu if you will take fast ferries like Oceanjet, Supercat and Weesam. Another option to enter Bohol is the city of Tubigon which is about an hour away from Cebu Port by Starcraft ferry.
Bohol by the way is dubbed as " Jewel of the Philippine" home to The world renowned Chocolate Hills is Bohol's famous landmark.
The sun was so high, a good vibe for a good countryside tour of the Bohol Island...
And off we go to Pier 1 to catch our earliest ferry ride via Oceanjet to Tagbilaran Port.
Onboard Oceanjet 6

| We docked at exactly 9:15AM to Tagbilaran City. |
Naldix, our tour guide was in fact in time for our arrival... And I was
late, well just for the reason of having been into countless photo ops
inside the port... a few shots that was!
We
were so damn tired ... half of the group fell asleep and some including
me enjoyed our only one night stay along Alona Beach. So a good Tanduay
is all I need to forget how tired I was... For 4 nights in a row, I did
not get much sleep with all the preparations... plus work.... Arghh....
I badly needed some break!!! The sound of the raging seas during a
starless night... distressed me...
We spent the night @ White's and Greens...
