This time last year, I was in Bohol doing the island-hopping tour with my family. One of the islands we visited was Balicasag, a marine sanctuary where I saw corals, colorful fishes, and a school of Talakitok, lots of them, forming what looks to me like a funnel! It was simply breathtaking and I lament, yet again, the fact that I haven’t taken up diving – yet. Though I must admit that I have a fear of drowning every time I snorkel without a life-vest on. I hope Camiguin Action’s offer for free diving lessons is still open. Anyway, I took some underwater pics using a digital camera and here are some of them:

Remember my not so stellar experience with the Loboc river cruise buffet on my first bohol trip here? This time, I made sure that I was on the right boat, well at least the boat that offered the best buffet (compared to the others). The driver assured me that feedbacks before for this river cruise was okay, if not great. So despite doubts and apprehensions that this might yet be another waste of PhP 300.00 (make that more than 2k because there were eight of us), I decided to take his advise and stepped on the Riverwatch.

My family decided to spend the holidays in Bohol. Since I had been there before, I took it upon myself to plan everything – from the itinerary, tickets, tour, driver, and accommodation. Planning one during the holidays when you’re on a budget is not easy. Believe me, I know. The hotels and resorts are fully booked, even the homestays are booked. After calling a loooot of numbers, I was so happy and relieved to find a quaint little secluded house with its own access to the beach still available – the Bluff House. I asked them whether they required a reservation fee from me to which they replied that there was no need. Satisfied that I had the accommodations taken care of, I moved on to planning other things.
Ahhhh... Isn't the Bluff House quaint? Grabbed from the Bluff House multiply site.
