Trip to Bohol

My father is a pure resident in Bohol. He live somewhere in Buenavista, south of Bohol. The family of my father lives there too. Sometimes, during summer or Christmas vacations, I usually stay there. I consider it my second home next to Cebu. I had visited Bohol several times but I haven’t toured the beauty of the island.

My sister graduated her elementary years last 2003. Because she graduated with honors, my Mommy and Daddy (aunt and uncle), planned to tour us around Bohol. I was very happy and excited when I heard their plan. We invited some of my cousins over to go with our trip. The night before the said trip, I kept on imagining what will happen in our tour. Because of too much excitement, I was not able to sleep well.

We woke up early—I think it was still 4:30am. People were very busy preparing all the foods and stuffs needed for our trip. We rented a mini-bus for our transportation.

When the engine of the bus started, I was very excited again because after the whole night of thinking and dreaming of what will happen, finally I can see it in reality. In the bus, all wore happy faces.

On our way to our first stop, I was very excited to see the famous Chocolate Hills. When we reached the place, I was amazed on the picturesque views I saw. I thought that I was still dreaming so I asked my sister to pinch me to prove that I’m not dreaming at all. We took pictures for souvenirs. We stayed there for an hour. I was very happy at that time because finally, I have visited one of the famous tourist spot here in the Philippines.

We decided to have our lunch on a beach resort. We planned to have it in Panglao but unfortunately, we were not able to ask reservations on the resort. So we just went on the next resort located near Panglao, the Dumaluan Beach Resort.

There, you can imagine yourself that you are in Boracay because of the white sands surrounding the place. We rented a cottage and arranged the foods we prepared. Before we ate our lunch, we first enjoy the cold temperature of the beach. I was tasked by my married cousins to guide my nephew and niece. Even though I was with my nephew and niece, I still had fun because they were naughty and I love baby sitting naughty kids because I am also one. I was tired swimming with the kids but it was fun!

We stayed there for almost six hours for sleeping, eating, talking, laughing and swimming. The bond that we had got stronger because of our excursion.

It was around five o’clock in the afternoon when we started packing up our things and mess. We were all tired but you can see on their fasces that we had fun. My Bohol trip was one of my most memorable experiences. And now, I am excited again because my Mommy promised me that we will be having another excursion after I graduate High school.
