Dunsborough Xmas

Seriously one of the best beaches I’ve ever been in, is in Western Australia. This is in Dunsborough near Margaret River, a big  wine region.

Bell Tower Perth

Visited the Bell Tower during the construction of Elizabeth Quay. Home of the oldes bell in the country – cast in 1550 in England. We put some coins in and played some toons on the carillon bells when we got to the top  🙂  x

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.
