These hills aren’t alive, they’re chocolatey!
Yesterday, Rommel and JoJo hired two vans to take us around the sights in the island.
We first met Rommels family at Bohol Tropics and exchanged pleasantries. Then we headed out.
Our first sight is the blood compact sight. This sight is where the conquering spaniards made a blood compact with the natives, but later reneged and destroyed pretty much every city they went and started colonizing the natives. There is a statue commemorating the event. This sight is located between the city and my grandmothers house. The view from the statue is spectacular. The ocean and the islands.
Our next stop was Baclayon Church. Which is the second oldest church in the county. The first being in Manila. This is somewhat of a big church but old. It’s starting to show it’s age. Very nice interiors with beatiful relics.
After a long drive thru the mountains and man made forests, we finally got to chocolate hills. Just because the hills are named chocolate hills doesn’t mean you can just jump in and start eating chocolate to your hearts content. On the contrary. It’s named chocolate hills because in the dry season it is brown and the landscape looks like a thousand of heshey’s kisses was dropped from the sky. We did see more than a few of the hills but it was pouring when we got there and did not climb the 200 steps to the viewing platform. We ate lunch and headed back to the city.
On the way back, we went to the floating restaurant area and also to see the tersiers. The tersiers are the worlds smallest monkeys. They’re about the size of one’s own palm. They are so cutesey like that the women just go ga-ga over them. They’re interesting to see thought as they are very shy.
We then just had the wedding rehearsal and dinner was great. Great filipino food and got to meet more relatives.
Overall a very tiring day as I crashed. I think I’ve finally gotten over the jet lag thing.
Until next time, “bahala na.”
PS- Is it snowing back home?
