Date of travel: January 2009
After a very fun day exploring the wonders of Bohol, me, my sister Rosamel and my friend Lucky wanted to spend the night and the rest of our time in Panglao Island. The island is just a 30- minute drive from the city proper of Tagbilaran. The island is famous for its world class beaches, island hopping, caving and dolphin watching. After buying some food and snacks in the downtown area, manong driver took us to Panglao. Since we have no reservations for that night, he also helped us in finding our accommodations. Kuya is all around na maaasahan.
He took us in a resort near the high end Dimaluan resort and Bohol Beach Club. A fan room with private bathroom and with double beds costs P800.00 is fair enough. And the beach is just a minute walk from the room. Not bad. So we booked the room and took a short nap first to freshen up before hitting the beach.
Before sunset, hinanda na namin ang ang mga beach outfit para rampa na sa Panglao. Haha. Sunset was perfect. Being there was so relaxing. We spent the rest of the afternoon dipping in the beach and frolicking in the white sand. We even went to Bohol Beach Club's area. That time, a lot of foreign tourists were on the resort. Koreans at mostly mga westerners na mga retirable looking o parang retired na talaga. Anong meron? May party? I was not informed. Haha.
Though bawal daw, we still went to the resort's premises. Hindi naman pansin at alam ng security doon if you are booked with them or not. Gatecrash kung gatecrash. Haha. There you'll notice that the amenities in the resort are high end. So picture lang nang picture. Avail nang avail hanggang di pa sinisita ni manong guard. Hopefully soon, if I have the enough money to spend for a luxurious vacation, ill book a room with them.
The beach is beautiful. Panglao has this powdery white sand beach. The water is clear too. Though ang babaw. You'll have to walk with faith pa just to reach an area para umabot lang sa beywang mo ang tubig. Kakaloka naman. For sure you'll never get drowned. Then on the further part ay lumot na. So chaka na. So babad- babad lang kami on the shallow part. Still we had fun.
By night time we had dinner in a nearby barbeque stall. Food was delicious and not that expensive. They set up some dining table by the shore. Okay naman. Many were there to eat and dine too. We spent like almost P400 for the entire mea that is enough for the three of us. Busog at satisfied of course. Then we went back to Bohol Beach Club's area. Parang may party. Sosyal ng mga foreigner. May buffet. May beach party. May budget. There were also some bands and acoustic singers that serenaded them. So joiners din kami. Haha. After a couple of hours we went back to our room and called it a day. Napuyat ng sobra because of the activities we did the whole day.
Then morning came, I had the chance to stroll in the beach again. Had instant noodles and bread for breakfast ( nagtitipid eh ). Went for a quick swim and just enjoyed the moment. After the dip, we prepared our things and we are ready to leave for Cebu. While waiting for kuya to fetch us, photo shoot na naman. After which, kuya already arrived and we bid Panglao goodbye. We then went to Tagbilaran Island Mall to have lunch. Gutom na eh, as usual. Before he left, we thanked Kuya for being accommodating and he thanked us too. After we ate, we bought our pasalubongs like the famous peanut kisses and kalamay and took a trike going to back to the port for us to catch our ride back to Cebu.
Bohol and Panglao, see you again soon!
