After attending the One Visayas Regional Jamborette in Camp Danao, Maasin City Forest Park, Southern Leyte, the whole BSP Aklan delegation decided for a side trip in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. We left the Maasin City Port at 11:00 A.M. and took 2 hours ferry boat ride to Port of Ubay, Bohol. From here, we took van that will take us to Tagbilaran City and we feasted on the scenes along the way. We stayed at Boy Scouts of the Philippines Bohol Headquarters and rested for the night to prepare ourselves for a full-fun-packed-day-trip and sight-seeing adventures the following day.
At Tagbilaran City, we hired a coaster bus to tour around the scenic views of Bohol and it costs us 35oPhp each for the whole day trip. The driver served as a tour guide as well.

TARSIER/LEMUR WATCHING
I don’t know where this place is located but we passed through this upon going to Carmen, Bohol. We took pictures with these little creatures and turned off flashes from our cameras so as not to harm the eyes of the tarsiers.
CLARIN ANCESTRAL HOUSE/CAFÉ OLEGARIO
Entrance Fee: 20Php
This is the old ancestral house of former Senator Clarin during the time of Carlos P. Romulo. His grandchildren manage the Café/Restaurant where they served the most loved “pasta” in Bohol. Antique paintings, figurines, jars, vases, cupboards, family treasures and old dusty furniture were displayed for the public to see. When I was inside the house, I felt a shiver down my spines. An eerie feeling I couldn’t even explain. It brings lot memories from the past. It’s quite scary though.. like there’s some kinda ghost or spirit that dwells in every antique jar displayed in the hallway. I couldn’t even dare to stare at the mirrors in the fear of seeing something I didn’t want to see. Nakakalurkey talaga.
PRONY THE PYTHON
Entrance Fee: 10Php
Prony is the name of the python who was captured by the owner in his yard and taken care of when he was still 5 meters long. Prony’s keeper fed him with a whole goat or pig and after devouring them, Prony hibernates for a month and that’s the time the guests can take photos with him without worrying to be the next meal for his supper. Hahaha
HINAGDANAN CAVE
Entrance Fee: 10Php
Situated just across Prony. It’s a man made cave with water inside and invaded with nocturnal animal. Bats are everywhere. Not advisable to plunge into the water because it’s kinda smelly.
