We had notice that we have a weather change, and in our place, it’s raining since the last 5 days. It’s bad news to the people who can’t spend their summer on the beach. Actually I’ve just check the weather forecast today and I can see that the LPA (low pressure area) changes into a storm. And I’ve known that in about three months we will have at least 5 storms, can you imagine that. Sorry for all who wants to go on a summer escapade and sorry for us because Bicol Region is always the way of storm. I hope it will not go strong.
But speaking of summer escapade, at least we got to go for a swim last Sunday, and the weather on that beach is still fine. We left home at 3pm and we arrive at the place at 5pm, it’s a bit far but that’s fine. The beach doesn’t look like Boracay or Bohol with white sand and blue green clear water, but we don’t care, our happiness and the children’s happiness is the most important for us. Check out this picture of my cousins, aunts, nieces and friends having fun on the beach.
Now you see it’s always good to have a bonding with family and friends once and for all, we left the beach at 10pm and arrived at home by 12 midnight, but at least we’ve done it without any problem and bad weather, were still lucky.
Don’t you have any summer escapades, if you have, send it to me and I will post it, so that everybody can check it out. Good luck..

I have been to Bohol Island several times and the beauty still puzzles me. The fantastic colour of the water and the long beaches with the very nice sand takes your breath away. I don’t know if it is only me but i think Bohol may be the nicest place in the world to have a vacation. The Virgin Island is also located in the area, the Virgin Island have special beaches with fantastic white sand and are perfect for scuba diving or snorkeling in a fantastic environment.
Bohol is located between Leyte and Cebu and belong to the Visayas Island Group. From Manila the easy way to travel to Bohol is with a plane. There are several airlines flying so it is just to check the Internet or with your travel agency.
I personally prefer the beaches but the Chocolate hills is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Philippines, in fact it is one of the main attractions in Bohol. This hills are around 30 meeter high and there is many of them. All the hills are covered with grass. In the summer the sun will burn the grass brown and you have the name Chocolate Hills. It is really something to see for your self as there is nothing else like it in the world. The is a stair case to the top of one of the hills. It actually have 213 steps. It is really a fantastic view from the top of the hill where you can see all the other hills. Having arrived at the top you can really appreciate the magnificence of the hills that look like giant moles. There is always a lot of people taking pictures of the hills due to their special looks.

Actually a vacation experience unlike anything else awaits you in Bohol. If you look at the pictures the beaches is fantastic both during day time and in the evening. Sitting on the beach watching the sunset can really give you peach of mind. If your lifestyle normally are stressful and hectic a week in Bohol may make you to a new person. Bohol is a family oriented place that is popular for its hospitality, recreation, great food and a lot of vacation fun. Total relaxation is exactly what you can expect and even if you are not traveling with your family you will clearly enjoy your stay in Bohol.
Water fun in Bohol is not only restricted to the wonderful beaches. You’ll also have many wonderful experiences underwater since there are a lot of dive sites to choose from. Dive sites range from easy dives to sites requiring advanced diving skills. Divers will enjoy the wide bio-diversity of aquatic life they will encounter under these tropic waters
There is also a high number of caves in Bohol if that’s what you like.Those who are into cave exploring will find this as a delight. Feel free to explore the fact that some of these caves have historic significance. Please visit the Hinagdanan Cave close to Bingang north west in Panglao. The water is very cold in the bottom of the cave, but i have heard that swimming is not good due to risk for bacterial infections.
So have you been to Bohol? What is your experience with the islands? Please leave a comment and tell me. I love to hear your story.
