I bought breakfast at 7/11 and back at the hotel I got a hungry bystander

​Some hotels don't offer breakfast and in that case a budget friendly way to get your breakfast is to go to 7/11 and buy it. As a bonus Seven Eleven have nice coffee. When I got back to the hotel I was immediately approached by the friendly hotel cat.

The nicest and most relaxing fish spa that I ever tried!

According to the legend, Turad became the trunk and Pintas became the branches, and together they would form the huge Balete tree. The tree is believed to be 400 years old and considered as the oldest and largest in the island of Siquijor. Below the tree is a natural spring flowing directly to a man-made pool. So today if you go there, you can enjoy the nicest fish spa that I ever tried. But beware there are some big fish in the pond as well!

​Going to Bohol Highest Peak, but I failed!

As I was doing my road trip around Bohol I wanted to take the motorbike to the Bohol Highest Peak. Which by the way it’s not the same as Mt. Matunog which is the very top of Bohol. But the funny thing they are located in the same area and are also roughly the same height around 800 meters over the sea. But sorry to say, I failed!

I visited the mysterious and haunted island Lamanok

One of the highlights of my trip to Anda was the Lamanok Island Mystic Tour Experience. Exploring the island's intricate cave system, I was captivated by tales of ancient witches, shamans, and the mysterious rock paintings that adorn the walls.

Lamanok Island, dubbed Bohol's cradle of civilization, is known for its rich history and mystical caves. This uninhabited island features limestone cliffs, hidden waterfalls, white-sand beaches, and ancient burial sites. Local folklore and the presence of balete trees add to the island's mysterious atmosphere.

​It's certainly worth a visit to go here!
