We are now in the last stretch of our Summer holiday with the grannies. Who knows when we will ever get the opportunity of happy times together again. Travelling to Philippines is not in our list for the next 5 years and they are definitely not travelling back to Europe again. Unfortunately, it is what…
Bohol is like a next door neighbor so it can get pretty boring also. We are not a first timer tourists that go nuts over a Tarsier, Chocolate Hills, Man-Made Forests and all those traps.
