I would like to share our 3 day Bohol tour, our group
the MotorJhackers started early on Friday, June 13 (yes it was Friday the
13th)
Meeting place was at a gasoline station in Basak, Lapulapu
Around 8:00am we headed to Cordova port to ride an outrigger boat bound for Jetafe, Bohol my first impression of the boat was small, but I was wrong.
We boarded the boat past 8:00am then left Codova port past 9:00am, the travel was good and the boat was fast.

We arrived Jetafe port around 11:00am, we disembarked and paid Php 70 for unloading of motorbike, first stop to a nearby carenderia to eat lunch, food was ok and cheap.
One wrong step and bye bye to my Mio
After eating we headed to Talibon to the house of
our officemate to drop our bags for a hassle free touring. Jetafe to Talibon is around 20 kilometers concrete road perfect for a long drive, travel time about 20 minutes.

First on our list was to visit Danao Eco
Adventure Park which was 45kms from Talibon via Buenavista. We didn't know that
the road going to Danao was 75% rough road, it was hard driving with that kind
of road condition and the weather made things even harder. The rain forced us to make a stop over, too much time wasted, difficult to drive in the rain.
Rough Road
When we reached Danao we stopped at Dagohoy
Monument to snap some photos, then after some selfies we headed to Danao
Adventure Park, the rain did not stopped us to snap more photos and selfies. We
didn't get the chance to experience the rides because of the price (pricey...no budget)
we just made most of our cameras to have more photos.

Cable Wire Super Selfie
Caution tape Super Selfie
After all those selfies we headed to Sagbayan Peak which was 27 kilometers from Danao. The road was not good either, however we were greeted with Chocolate Hills on the way, snapped some photos up close and personal with a chocolate hill (but it's green)
The Levitate
Chocolate Hill (green hill I should say)
We arrived Sagbayan Peak almost 5:00pm and it was
almost closing time, after paying the entrance fee we didn't waste time we
started snapping more photos to make most of the time, the child in us.

After the super selfies
we left Sagbayan Peak around 5:30pm to head back for Talibon. Distance from
Sagbayan to Talibon is 60 kilometers. Lesson learned driving in the province you
have to wear eyewear to protect your eyes from the attack of flying insects,
otherwise the insects will impair your 20/20 vision.
We arrived Talibon around 7:00pm we head to the town proper to eat dinner, we bought lechon manok and puso, we ate
the food swiftly, we were starving already, after eating we head back to the
house. The day ended with an exchange of stories of the road
condition of Danao and the day it has been, lights off by 10:00pm
2nd day Saturday, we woke up for a "pamainit" so we can eat breakfast, so "pamainit" is a pre-requisite for breakfast?
The breakfast was heavy, rice, shrimps and fish, hahaha eggs, ham and hotdogs were not staple food in Talibon.

We left Talibon to start our Tour Bohol.
Route: Talibon, Ubay, Alicia, Candijay, Guindulman, Duero, Jagna, Garcia Hernandez, Valencia, Dimiao, Lila, Loay, Baclayon, Panglao (of course with pictures)

Trinidad
Wow Giant Calamay, this is good for one year.
Garcia Hernandez, I wonder what is this structure for?
Old Church
We arrived at Alona beach in Panglao around
12:30pm, after searching for a good place to eat we finally decided to stay at the stall with a value meal worth Php 120/order, food was good and worth it.
Our table was located at the beach front so swimming while waiting for the food to be served was a good idea. Alona beach is a nice place, not pricey definitely coming back for a longer stay.

After a 2-hour stay at Alona beach we headed back
to Talibon via Tubigon (130 kilometers), route was Panglao, Tagbilaran, Cortes,
Maribojoc, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Inabanga, Jetafe then Talibon.
On the way we were able to see roads and houses that were damaged due
to the 7.2 earthquake that hit Bohol last year, we snapped some photos but not much since we
were in a hurry, time was catching up on us we don't want to be driving at
night, though I came prepared already, bought a clear shades in Panglao.
Nerdy look, but worth it, fying insects didn't make their way.
We arrived Talibon around 6:30pm we were greeted
with crabs and shrimps for dinner, pork were not a staple food either hahahaha,
after dinner some of us hit the bed while others hit the videoke in the living room to consume the
emperador brandy offered by the host.
3rd day we woke up with "pamainit" so we can have
breakfast, so it's confirmed "pamainit" is a pre-requisite for breakfast. After
eating breakfast we started packing our things.
At 10:00am after saying our thank yous and good
byes we hit the road to catch the boat leaving Jetafe port at 12:00 noon. We
arrived Jetafe port around 11am we bought tickets for our motorbikes and for our
fare, we had our lunch at a carenderia at the port with the sea as backdrop. We were able to board the outrigger around
11:00am
Past 12:00 noon the boat left
Jetafe the sea travel was smooth and fast, we arrived at Cordova port past
1:00pm
Our 3 day tour was short, tiring, exciting, fun all rolled into one, if anyone would ask if I will do it again, my answer will be "Why Not?"
