Panglao Tour (2nd day)

At 10:00am in the morning, our tour guide Mang Gerry fetch us at Lost Horizon Resort for our Panglao tour. And here we go again for our second day tour (c/o Spencer Bohol Tours)...


1. Panglao Church






2. Seashell Museum

You can find here the different kinds of shells, even it is a crab shell, wooden shell of whatever... It is just amazing that the owner has collected those shells. He also shared to us the very expensive shell he collected that according to him, it was found in the very deepest part of the ocean near the islands of Panglao. The size of that shell was unbelievably small and in able for you to see it, you need to use a magnifying glass. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the picture of that shell.





3. Daks & Gams Wildlife Park

Here's what I have learned from Mang Gerry: Daks (Dako) - meaning malaki; Gams (Gamay) - meaning maliit


4. Hinagdanan Cave

It is one of known places in Bohol that I wanted to see. It is also my first time to entered a cave and it is a great experience. At first, we are having problem setting the settings of our camera because it is really dark inside and many droplets of water coming from the stalactites are dropping over our head. Good thing that the life guard inside helped us, he saved us not from drowning but taking our pictures inside. hehe! He also revealed some secrets of that cave. I will tell you later..


The background of that picture below is what I am telling you the unrevealed part of the cave. You will not see that drawing if you will just walk right through there. That was created by an American artist and was used in the film "Dark Tide".




5. Dauis Church

Inside that church is a well of fresh water. It is like God's miracle before that He gave his people a water to drink from and use for cooking during world war. Panglao island where Dauis Church is located was surrounded by salt water and that well was the only source of fresh water. Until now, there is still water inside that well.

6. Bohol Bee Farm


We took our lunch here as the tour guide and other people highly recommends this place. I ordered honey glazed chicken and this is what it looks like..

Pretty beautiful, right?! They got a creative food presentation. One more thing, the salad with flower toppings is really fresh because they get it from their own farm and you can also eat the flowers. No joke! But I didn't eat the flowers because they have small ants so I removed them right away. And even if it has no ants, I would still not going to eat it. hehe. I just don't feel like eating it anyway.
After eating, we took some walks around the place together with the girl tour guide explaining everything they have in their place like the bees.
