- More Adventures During Pandemic

The world-wide pandemic has caused great economic harm across the globe. Countless millions have been adversely effected, and this is certainly true in the Philippines, and in particular, Bohol. Because Bohol depends to a large extent on tourism, it has suffered more than most of the Philippines.

Bohol Provincial Capitol in Tagbilaran

As stated before, Lyn and I really enjoy road trips and have travelled all over the Province of Bohol. We have seen many towns, tourist attractions, beautiful historic churches, diverse markets, and scenic views. I even saw my first monkey in the wild!

Cacao tree growing beside the road
from which cocoa and chocolate are made

I did not know that you can eat the fruit of the cacao,
the white part around the beans. It is very sweet, but
of course the beans themselves are not.

The last town we visited, on the opposite side
of the island

The site of the popular Loboc River Dinner Cruise.
It has not re-opened yet.

Loboc Market, where we often shop for fruits
and vegetables

Many businesses have shut down for good, and many more are desperately trying to successfully re-open. Some are open but have almost no customers. Many have reduced their prices to attract customers. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not.

Danao Adventure Park

This adventure park in the mountains offers kayaking, glass cliff walking, bungy jumping, rappelling, cable car riding, rock (root) climbing, and zip lining. All we did was rode the cable car over the ravine. We were the only guests there the whole time.
