Jon and I had a blast when we visited BOHOL for the first time for our early Valentine escapade last week...

We arrived at Tagbilaran airport early Thursday morning and even the downcast skies and the slight drizzle didn't dampen our spirits. We easily saw our chauffeur and immediately took us to the resort where we are staying for 3 days (Panglao Island Nature Resort). The place was really beeyootiful!!! Especially our bungalow with jacuzzi... i would have to say that this really beats our Bora accommodation last year (Fridays - except for the four-poster bed... heheh). Really, it was the ideal honeymoon place (which is precisely why we chose this over the other resorts in Panglao)!

After a few hours rest, we headed to the resort's restaurant which was a minute walk from our room and had lunch there. Right after, a resort's staff was kind enough to tour us around the place... we saw the garden, the resort's expansion project at the other side, and we even went inside their very own cave, the Cambagat Cave which was really well-maintained and also a good place for swimming. Manong was our driver, our tour guide, and even our photographer. Sobrang bait. :) He dropped us off at our bungalow... we took a nap til it was time to go to the BQ Mall (service from the resort)...

We bought some pasalubong at the mall and had dinner at a Mongolian BBQ resto before we headed back to PINR. Back in our place, we tried the jacuzzi and it was pure bliss. ;)

Since there was no night life in the place, we were ready for bed as early as 10pm... and we had enough time for more relaxing... Jon watched TV while I read the book "Memoirs of a Geisha"..

2nd day, we headed to the beach before breakfast. I would have wanted to swim right then and there if not for the Bohol trip we scheduled for the day...

Our chauffeur was a few minutes early but we were glad to start the tour sooner...

• Blood Compact Shrine
• Tarsier
• Loboc River Cruise
• Man-made forest
• Chocolate Hills
• Floating resto for a late lunch
• Baclayon Church and Museum
• Pasalubong shopping!

We went back to the resort to change and drop off our things and took a dip in the infinity pool... it was really getting cold already so we made our way back to our jacuzzi. ;) We ordered room service and ate dinner inside our room.

We had an early big breakfast the following day and went straight to the beach and the man-made islet. More picture taking, swimming - which we continued in the infinity pool and our jacuzzi before we got ready for check-out.

Since our flight is hours away, the resort made us stay in their comfy lobby where we had our late lunch and i was able to finish reading my book MOAG (can't wait for the movie)...

Back in Manila, we waited for our sundo --> Yna and Aion at the airport (super thanks again, guys!), then we had dinner, watched movie, and had coffee afterwards. =)
