Bohol 2008 - Day 1




Spent the long weekend in Bohol with Mia, Debbie, and Luis. An unexpected trip that we were just dreaming about but came true after more than a month of preparations coupled with last minute decisions. =)

Flew to Cebu and we met Mia at the pier (Supercat) around 7am for the 8am ferry. It was delayed though but we still arrived in Tagbilaran around 10:15.

Debbie and Luis immediately started on their countryside tour which Mia and I did last 2006. Their guide was RJ (http://www.rjtoursbohol.com) which I booked via email after reading some reviews on his service while searching the net for bohol tours. He was also the one who arranged our Dolphin watching and snorkeling adventure (but that's for Day 2).

Anyway, while RJ picked up Debbie and Luis, Mia and I were picked up by the Amarela van. The resort (http://www.amarelaresort.com) is a bit out of the way and quite far from the "Bora-type" activites which is found in Alona Beach. We were in the side of Bohol Beach Club though BBC was around a 15min walk along the beach. Still, Amarela was everything Mia and I liked. Quiet, romantic, relaxing. =)

We spent our first day in Bohol just bumming around the resort, swimming in the pool, and taking a nice stroll along the beach to BBC and back. A relaxing start to a great vacation!

  3. OMG! I'm so jealous! =) Ang cucute niyo! Parang ang romantic nga ng place 'no?

    Btw, if meron sa inyong may balak magpakasal, pwedeng bigyan niyo kami dito ni Kat ng advance notice kasi di madaling humingi dito ng vacation leaves (mga 1 year? O sige, 6 months pwede na. =P). Hehe. Not that I'm working already. Hehe.

  6. we tried the 2nd day pero malayo kasi yung resort from the "night/party life" of Panglao (Alona beach). Our resort was pretty much isolated from the rest (which Mia and I enjoyed... since laid back lang kami). We did have some drinks though before going back. Fun naman. =)

  7. Romatic sobra. Mostly couples nga yung nasa resort. Kung big groups, dapat a resort in Alona beach para mas may "action" or kung mas relaxed atmosphere, Bohol Beach Club.

    Siyempre sasabihan namin kayo. =)
