• Bohol - Day 3

    August 9 on the Philippines ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Started the day with a 90 minute drive with a rental car to the center interior of the island and its famous chocolate hills. Beautiful! All those cone hills are apparently formed from coral reefs millions of years ago. I don't understand how thats possible haha but I'm way outside my area of expertise :)

    On returning to my rental car, the battery was completely dead. Called the rental agency. And then asked some staff at the chocolate hills parking area if a boost could be possible. Before i knew it, i had 7 filipino guys all trying to solve the problem under the hood. Tightened all battery connectors and boom, car started yay! Filipinos are so nice everywhere i go.

    Then drove to the coast for some food on the ocean before driving back inland to the smalll village of Loboc and its really scenic river setting. Rented a kayak to explore around, then went on an evening fireflies boat tour. That was honestly a bit disappointing... but still nice to go for the ride.

    Followed by a quiet evening at my hotel restaurant area. Really cool property greatly built from bamboo.
