Read first: Bohol Adventure: My first airplane ride
It was our second day at Bohol. We stayed at Lost Horizon Beach Resort located at Alona Beach, Panglao Island. I had a great sleep but had to wake up early to catch the sunrise.
Countryside tour din namin that day. Thank God nakisama ang weather dahil maaraw at maganda panahon. Mas naappreciate ko yung ganda ng place.
We did not avail any package for this trip. Instead, we rented a van for the entire day and we separately pay the entrance fees. Mas mura kasi yun. Supposedly, yung van sana ng resort yung kukunin namin. 3500 pesos siya. Kaya lang may kakilala pala yung isa naming kasama (Pastora Precy) na mas mura that's why we opted for that. We rented the van for 3000 pesos for the entire day inclusive of gas na yun. Ayos! :) To have an idea of how much it cost us for this countryside tour, I'll give you a summary sa last part ng aking Day 2 blog. :)
DESTINATION 1: BOHOL BEE FARM
It was a 5-10 minute ride from the beach. Upon entering the place, we were welcomed by arrays of plants and vegetables that were being grown in the place. Bohol Bee Farm is known for its organic goods.
Mukhang bee lang dito si papa dahil sa shades nya. Haha! :))
Not only do they serve healthy foods, they also have different accommodations to choose from. One could stay at Bohol Bee Farm, commune with nature and enjoy its amenities. Halos puro green ang makikita mo sa place due to the plants and trees that they were growing. Very relaxing talaga.

Part of the place were souvenirs and handicraft shops. Locals sold their handmade products to the tourists who visited the place. Meron sumbrero, pamaypay, tsinelas, and many others. A tour in Bohol Bee Farm would not be complete without tasting their famous organic ice cream. Instead of sugar, honey ang ginagamit nilang pampatamis. One can choose from several flavors like Buko, Mango, Pandan, Avocado, Malunggay at marami pa. Hindi ko na kasi matandaan yung ibang flavor. But I chose Buko at it tasted great. Super sarap. Kakaiba din yung cone na ginamit since it was made from casava. Totaly unique and organic. For a price of 60 pesos, sulit na sulit na. :)

Their ice cream is a must-try. :)
DESTINATION 2: BLOOD COMPACT SITE
Next stop was the Blood Compact Site. I did not expect na along the road lang pala yun. Nagulat na lang ako nung tinabi na ni kuya driver ang van at binuksan na ang pinto. Hehe! I wasn't totally wowed by the monument. Afterall, meron din nyan ang Manila. However, the view from the site was breathtaking. Dun ako nag-enjoy. The sea was calm. It made me thank God for His beautiful creations. Hindi ko akalaing may ganun kagandang tubig. Iba kasi yung color. May part na blue, may green at may part na nagmmix sila. Plus the luscious greens na nakapaligid sa dagat. Ang galing talaga! :)

Tip: May makikita kayong Souvenir Shop halos sa tapat ng Blood Compact Site. Tatawid ka lang ng kalsada at makikita mo na siya. Among all the souvenir shops we went to, doon ang pinakamura. Bohol T-shirts were sold for 150 pesos while sa ibang shops 200-250 pesos binibenta pero same shirt din naman with the one at the Blood Compact Site. After our tour, bumalik pa kami dun para bumili ng souvenirs dahil namahalan kami sa iba. :)
