Late Post. Our final night in the Philippines.
Bye Philippines! 🙁
Mactan Island
Last couple of days in the Philippines 🙁
We checked-in at one of the Ocean Club rooms for a few days & went snorkeling most days – which was one of the free water activities to do at the hotel… 🙂
Chocolote Hills + Hanging Bridge
When in Bohol, you have to go to the Chocolate Hills. It’s named Chocolate Hills because it turns brown during the dry season. I think they actually look a bit like Hershey Kisses too… There’s about 1700 of them, spread over 50 square kilometres. It’s a natural geological formation and each one, shaped just so. Really amazing, when you think about it. It’s what Bohol is most famous for – what the Harbour Bridge or the Opera House is to Sydney.

Tarsier Conservation Area Bohol
The Philippine Tarsier is an endangered species and is one of the world’s smallest primates.
The ones we saw had the height that spans an adult hand, with eyes that look like it was occupying half of its head. It had a really long tail, bony hands and feet. It looked less like a monkey and more like a cross between E.T, a marsupial and a rat (because of the tail, though Kangaroos have long tails too). We tried to be really quiet and to walk around as softly as possible as we were told that they are incredibly shy and solitary creatures.
