Today we all woke up at 4:00 in the morning to take a two hour ferry ride to Bohol. In Bohol, we first went to the Chocolate Hills where we rode ATVs and buggies through the valleys of the hills. After that, we headed over to a lookout point to get a better view where we took pictures and hiked up 220 stairs to the tallest chocolate hill standing at 125 meters tall. These hills, in actuality, were “matcha hills” due to the rainy season creating the grass and overgrowth.
After visiting the hills, we ate a buffet lunch on a private cruise along the Loboc river. There was music on the boat and tinikling dancers on the rivershore. After the cruise, we went to see a Tarsier monkey sanctuary. These are small primates with beady eyes who could be held in the palm of your hand.
We took a ferry back to Cebú where we then ate dinner at the Quest hotel, before heading back to the BlueWater Maribago to end the day.
