Bohol Paradise

[This post came from my previous blog. I revised it this time.]

There are 3 places in our home country that I want to visit before I die: Palawan, Bohol, and Batanes. I already experienced Palawan, Coron specifically, as my mom's graduation gift to me. I've been to Bohol as of March, this year. It was a trip that I went with my college friends. And this August (please Lord, give us a good weather all throughout the trip... please, please, please?), I'll be going to Batanes with a college friend. Hola, my dream places, FTW!

For this post, I'll be sharing with you my itinerary and pictures (thanks Kux and Alex) in Bohol.

There are 9 of us in the trip: Me, Kux, Pao, Martee, Alex, Nikko, Gelo, Sir JP, Errol. We spents our days following our itinerary, and our nights in bonding, drinking, and getting to know Errol (since it was our first time to meet him).

We stayed from March 3 (Wednesday) up to the 6th (Saturday). Our itinerary was managed by Travel Treats Tour Services (I suggest you also make them your tour manager). Here are the inclusions and rates of the itinerary:

Though I just spent 3 days of my life in Bohol, I will never forget the  experiences I had. It's wonderful. The food are very good and absolutely fresh. I made a new friend, Errol. One of the best is buying pasalubong for my family, relatives, and friends. 

This experience really made me happy. This trip will remain in my memory forevaaaaaa *unless I get amnesia*.

Maayong Pagbyahe!
