Sunday Jog at Banat-I Hill
My workfellow and I had decided to climb another hill in a nearby place in the city. Banat-I hill is located at Bool, Tagbilaran City. The hill commands a scenic view overlooking the town of Baclayon, Tagbilaran City and the vast Bohol Sea.
The year 2019 had just started and it seems like hiking is my new mantra. Our first stop is at Mt. Padhan in Dipatlong, Maribojoc. A big Cross in that mountain is mostly visited by Pilgrims during Lenten Season. The first station of the Cross is found at the foot of the mountain and the rest of the fourteen Station of the Cross thereafter.
Before the day of the trail, physical-wise, I’m haven’t prepared that much (because at first I wasn’t sure to join). I didn’t really jog like my colleagues who happened to have a night jog activities. I also didn’t engage myself in brisk walking or any warm up activities to loosen up my thighs before the hike (feeling confident nga kaya ra sak-on ang moto nga way exercise haha pero guys feel nako pamaolan ko after).
Travelling is the most expensive thing you have to do yet so fulfilling and worth wandering for. You only get few chances to walk for more steps to journey so grab it while you can. I did, we did!
Few months ago, people were jump-packed at Bagumbayan, Pilar, Bohol to visit the newly opened Jardin Necitas, the Bohol’s Glowing Garden. This another tourist destination has gone viral and has getting much attention to the citizens. It is like another version of 10000 Roses Cafe in Cordova, Cebu. It also has 20000 different colors of tulips and roses. Just like in 10000 Roses Cafe, these flowers of Jardin Necitas are synthetic. They pleasantly bloom at night.
Travelling for me is something like an escape from the stressful reality. Somehow, by giving a breath of air will lessen the stress I am feeling. One place that we did visit was the 10000 Roses Cafe of Cordova in Cebu.
This is one of the rock island i saw in Lamanok, and I was really amazed by it.
Lamanok Island is in barangay Badiang, Anda, Bohol. Lamanok Islands is consists of neighboring rock islands some are enjoined by the mangroves. In what I just have known there were public and private place in Lamanok. The one in public has to pay P300.00 while the one in private resort (Lamanok Island & Beach Resort) is P275.00 only. The difference between the two is that in the former there is a tour guide that will tell you about the history of Lamanok Island while the latter is a private resort with a secluded short-white-sand beach. Both have caves but the one I’ve experienced with was the latter.
The super nice view of the cave while we were sitting in the side inside.
Cabagnow Cave is located in Anda, Bohol. It is now widely known since “Byahe ni Drew”, a travel show of Drew Arellano featured the cave. According to the resident there, before only the people of Anda usually visit the place and there was no entrance fee. But when several people (from outside Anda) discover the place, the owner decided to put an entrance fee and a fence. It is purposely done to maintain the cleanliness of the cave pool.
