10 august 2011, bohol
since we arrived in the morning and we cannot check in yet, we had a short panglao tour as indicated in kuya dodong's itinerary. it was a bit raining that morning, but we still went on with the tour.
dauis church
the church of our lady of the assumption, also known as dauis church is located in the town of dauis in panglao. it is an old church, built during the spanish regime. there were some devotees, mostly are of old age, when we arrived in the church.
there is a well, known for its water’s healing power, at the foot of the main altar. local history tells that this well originated from the spanish era.the church is near the shorelines but the water in the well is not salty (according to our driver-guide). i was not able to take pictures inside the church, because i was wearing shorts and i have to put on something to cover which i did not bother doing. hehe.

hinagdanan cave
this cave is so called 'hinagdanan' because stairs were created to reach it. it is an underground cave, discovered by the owner of the land. he got curious when he discovered holes in the ground and was amazed when saw that there is actually a cave under his terrain.
in the cave is a body of water, about 12-15ft, very inviting for swimming :)
a tour guide led us to the cave. he was really funny and lively. he also took the pictures of us.he always shouts 'fantabulous!' after he takes a shot.

there are souvenir shops within the area. shirts are available for as low as 100 pesos. we bought our shirts here. :)
nova shell museum
i haven't seen a shell collection as many as what nova shell museum has. from the biggest to the tiniest (needs magnifying glass) shell, and shells gathered from the rich island of bohol and other places are being stored here.
we had a short tour in the museum, to give us a little knowledge about shells. there is a shell in this museum that costs hundreds of dollars because it is very rare. there is also these little shells that can only be found in balicasag island in bohol.
bohol bee farm
our last stop was bohol bee farm. we were not able to have the tour to see the bees, because it was raining. we just had lunch there and see the amenities.
the food was great! it was a bit pricey but it was worth it. i love the apple-banana shake!
