I left my heart at Bohol (part 1)

friends invited me to join them on their trip to cebu sometime last july and i was hesitant because travelling meant expense and expense meant me turning to a psycho over and over. but i didn't get to reply back coz' they were able to reserve a ticket already. it's on promo, non-transferable so no option for me but to pay them back.

come november, them people who i'm supposed to go with had personal issues that prevented them from going. bummer i said. even i almost didn't go coz' my cousin died. i guess my luck is high coz' the funeral would be a week after our trip so i was able to make it.

it was an early flight. i finished some tasks in the office before enabling my out of office notice. i think i left around 3am to pack my stuff and head straight to the airport. yep, no sleep coz' boarding time is at 4am.

the plane left around 6 and got us to cebu by around 7 which was still too early since our ferry ride bound for bohol would be at 9. we decided to just go at the seaport. have breakfast and sleep till boarding time. it was cloudy that time and to our luck, the ferry ride got cancelled. add the rain for more stress moments. we went at the other shipping company to get their sched but the trip's gonna be at 2pm. o my. rest moment for us.

we arrived in bohol late afternoon. the shuttle from the hotel was waiting for us (bless their hearts for patience). we got hungry so we asked for the best chicken in the place and the driver got us to this really nice restaurant with the best chicken i ever tasted for a reeeeeaaaaallllly cheap price. almost $2.

btw, my friends were telling that bohol would be humid and i said it's not. guess who's laughing after when i started sweating after the meal?

once we got to our rooms, we decided to go to the beach and relax for a while. we didn't plan of going places till tomorrow anyway. i was amazed at the panglao beach. it may not be the best beach but still, the water's clean. the sand's white and everything smells clean.

i think i slept late that day (not because i was busy playing games with the ds... no) and woke up really early around 5. i wonder how i got myself up coz' i sure thought i should have been tired or anything like throwing stuff to whoever wakes me up mood. i guess i was too excited for this trip.

coz' we're going to see the dolphins. wuhoo!

next stop is to this island where divers' eyes widen with beautiful aquatic resources. we didn't snorkle though, just ate as we found out we're already beyond our time limit.
