Neil & I went for a day tour in the province of Bohol during our stay in the Philippines. We would've liked to have stayed overnight, but we just weren't sure what our schedule was going to be like since we were going to visit Bagtic for a few days. Anyway, we managed to spend a day there, touring around and our guide and driver were great! It was like a private tour because it was just Neil and myself. =) It was great! And we have the pictures to prove it!
This is one of the older buildings in Bohol.
A rice field that we saw on our drive towards the river boat for lunch.
This was one of many views we saw during our lunch on the river boat. If you look closely, you can see a house.
On the way back to the dock, we stopped at one of these spots along the shore where they had some singers and dancers greet us. It was pretty cool. These are couple of the old folks dancing.......and here we have some filipino dancing. It was awesome. Hopefully the quality of this video is alright.
...and some more dancing.
Neil & I on the river boat with the 2 singers in the background.
This was an old church that we could see from the boat and we were able to visit it on the way back to the ferry to Cebu. Unfortunately we weren't able to take too many pictures inside.
This was on our way up to see the Chocolate Hills. Ironically, there are 214 steps which they call the Valentine Steps. But it wasn't too romantic...look at Neil. He's all tuckered out and we still had quite a way to go! *lol*
This was one of many views we were rewarded with.
Another rice field with a water buffalo doing it's job. Neil jokingly refers to them as 'tractors'. Our tour guide thought that was amusing. =)
Me with a new friend: a tarsier, the smallest primate in the world. They're actually kind of cute, in a weird sort of way.
Get that thing off my head!!!!
And here's Neil with a tarsier. I bet the little guy had quite the view from being so high up!!! *lol*
Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries after this. But then, it was alright because not only did it start raining, but we were at the end of our tour.
Enjoy the pics!! =)

Hey Melissa and Neil, great pictures! I'm glad your having a good time...those chocolate hills look majestic.
Nature's quite amazing that way. *lol* =)
That animal is cute! Bring me home one!
Pictures are great as usual - now I know why we have waited awhile for an update. You are doing and seeing so much. Glad that you are making the most of this fabulous opportunity. You both look good. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. LvM
Nice to see pictures of the country side especially the ricefields and the farmer with his "carabao" (water buffalo).
You both look like natives of the country now. Have fun & see you here at yule time. Regards from 89 Riverside Drive.
Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone! =)
Being in Hong Kong now, I know we'll have heaps more pictures to post!!! Already Neil's got our week planned (sort of)!!! *lol*
