BOHOL: my 'real' first experience

Last May 14-17, my family and I went to Bohol to visit relatives. I've been to Bohol  before but that was an official trip so my experience that time just extended to eating in a chinese resto as a treat by the client. That's it. I was not able to go to a market even, my Peanut Kisses were given by the client. So when this trip finally pushed through, I was so excited. This was not the regular travel itinerary because we are with relatives but still, the whole experience made me love Bohol so much. I now know where this feeling of melancholy passes through my mom when she thinks of the lovely province.

Day 1 (May 14, 2010)
- my arrival at Cebu then go straight to pier 1 to board the Starcraft fast ferry bound for Tubigon port
