Bohol Day 1

On our first day in Bohol, we rode a jeep going to Loboc since I was hesitant to ride a bus which is always jam-packed with commuters and produce goods. One thing we noticed in Bohol commuting is that a person is assigned to collect the fare, unlike in Manila wherein you pay the fare to the driver. Since we don't know any Boholano words, we just said “Nuts Huts” to the fare collector. The driver was kind enough to drop us off at the Sarimanok boat house.

Bohol is also famous for the smallest monkey called tarsiers or boot (bo-ot) in Tagalog. The Sarimanok boat house had a couple of tarsiers. As we wait for a boat to take us to Nuts Huts, we took some pictures of the tarsiers.

Tip: Do not use flash on your cameras when taking pictures of tarsiers. They are nocturnal animals and their eyes are very sensitive to light. When stressed, they kill themselves!


Loboc River is a very peaceful river with bluish-green water and lush trees along its bank. We enjoyed the serenity of the boat ride.

We reached Nuts Huts and it's not your usual hotel or bed and breakfast place. We even thought that there was no one there to welcome us.

This stairs seemed imposing. You bet it is. After all the travelling, all we wanted was to lay down on a comfy bed.

Be careful when climbing the stairs. This warning says it all. Hehe.

The Belgian owner, Rita, checked us in. The huts are named after movies and our hut was named... “Honeymoon in Vegas”. She said it was such a coincidence!

The hut was minimalistic with native furnitures. We had a four poster bed and the curtain around the bed serves as mosquito nets. There was a see-through cabinet, lamp, small table and fan. The bathroom is also simple with tiled floors and ceramic pail. Outside the room was a small veranda overlooking the Loboc River.
