A 30 to 45 minute ride from Tagbilaran City. The road to Panglao Beach is like going to a very remote area. wile driving to this place, one can see wild plants, tall grasses and big trees alongside of the road. At the end of the trip, unimaginable white sand can be seen even from afar, and when one reaches the filled with cottages under the coconut trees fronting the sea area, one can hardly breath by its awesome view.<br /><br />A wonderful horizon where the sky meets the sea, a very romantic scene where lovers can silently understand how they would feel to each other. A place visited by many foreigners enjoyed by tourists and vacationed by rich and average people for relaxation. Children and adults alike felt the joy of swimming and breathing the fresh air from the sea. One can hardly wait but dive into it to feel the freshness of the water into his skin. As one walks along to the deeper part, he'll be surprised by the coldness as his feet sunk in a hole like in some part of the sea, a spring of cool water boiling upward the surface of the sand.<br /><br />One thing that makes it unique is that you can see a lot of starfishes here with different specie and cute, little jelly fishes when you go further from the shore. Just be aware on where you're stepping and going. You might get contact with those jellyfishes but they won't harm you seriously anyway.<br /><br />One can always utter some praises to the Creator how awesome this creation is. Bohol is known for interesting sites like Panglao Island. It boasts of its white beach which is so natrural. Shallow clear waters is very good for people who just want to wade and frolic in the beautiful white beach. Panglao island seems like a paradise.<br /><br />Different people can be seen in this beach, from the conservative Filipinos who swim with their shorts and shirts on to semi bare foreigners with their two piece on exposing their white skins.<br /><br />There are also hotels in this beach for those who like to stay for more days or overnight.

We can really see that these products are of high quality and with almost perfection. They showcase from bags, slippers/sandals and rounded brim hats made from different parts of the coconut tree, necklaces and earrings made from pearls and shells found in the nearby shores of the province, to different furniture and house decorations made from high quality type of wood.</div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;

Bohol is truly a nice place for tourists. From the Chocolate Hills to the Tarsier and floating restaurant, Everything is amazing. There are a lot of old catholic churches too that makes me remind of the Spanish term in the 19th century. So let's go to the tourists spots one by one.<br /><br /><h3><b>Chocolate Hills.</b></h3><a href="http://www.boholbesttours.com/images/large-chocolatehills.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://www.boholbesttours.com/images/large-chocolatehills.jpg" width="640" /></a>That was afternoon when we went there. It was raining and what they said about it turning to brown and green is true and at that time, it was green. It is called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_Hills" target="_blank">Chocolate Hills</a> because it turns brown during dry season.There was this one hill where you climb to the top and see almost all the hills around. When you reached at the top, you can hardly go down because the scenery really amazes those who have seen. This tourist spot in Bohol is already known internationally since I have seen a lot of foreigners happily taking pictures at the top of the hill.<br /><br /><h3>Prony.</h3><div><img height="480" src="http://nikoshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/prony-the-python.jpg" width="640" /></div><div>The biggest python in the Philippines was Prony. She eats dozens of kilos of meat but he is friendly to humans. My brother even have a picture with her. She was worth to see because her size is really enormous. A family captured her in 1996 and decided to take care of her not knowing they could earn money from her. Unfortunately for those who would want to visit her today, you can't. She already died two years ago.</div><div><br /></div><h3>Tarsier & Floating Restaurant.</h3><div><img height="213" src="http://21c3f2be5255e5a8ef21-f6fb26f6d98e7b0b6bee16f68c1c368a.r62.cf1.rackcdn.com/15/1/large.jpg" width="320" /><img height="212" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/fc/15/61/loboc-riverwatch-floating.jpg" width="320" /></div><div>Without a doubt, seeing the Tarsier is one of the things most people want to accomplish while in Bohol. Tarsier is an indigenous specie only found in Bohol, Philippines. They are placed in a large place enclosed by nets. You can see them closely but you cannot touch them nor take a picture of them. They are very sensitive to touches and radiation from the camera. The tourist guide told us one story that one Tarsier died a day after a child held it in his hands. Since then, every tourist was being accompanied by a volunteer in protection for the specie. To know more about their family and classification, click <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsier" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>In addition to tarsier, beside the place is a river. And since a lot of tourists are going there to see the Tarsiers, the people there decided to make a floating restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Restaurant. Of course, it is a hit. They served a lot of native delicacies which are really delicious and to die for. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>These are just some of the places we went years ago which you can not visit now today. Last October, 2013, an earthquake hit the place causing damage to Chocolate Hills and the floating restaurant was destroyed. Until now, they have prohibited people from viewing the hills. Moreover, the Tarsier are not already for public viewing due to being labeled as endangered.</div><div><br /></div><div>Still, no hopes gone. There are a lot more beautiful spots in Bohol which are worth travelling for. Recently, I have traveled to Bohol again and we went to some beautiful places. I have posted my recent experiences in Bohol and if you want to read them, <a href="http://boughtatahighprice.blogspot.com/search/label/Bohol" target="_blank">click here.</a></div>
