Bike Zip @ Chocolate Hills Adventure Park

Bike Zip in Chocolate Hills Adventure Park, is one of the famous adventure rides, in Bohol today, it is located at Brgy. Buenos Aires, Carmen, Bohol. An hour ride from Bus terminal of Dao to Bryg. Carmen, for only P60.00/person, just tell the driver of the Bus/Van to drop you at Chocolate Hills adventure park (CHAP).  This Bike Zip ride, is 275 meters long from one Chocolate Hill to the other.   I personally experience the breathtaking adventure of riding a bike in a zip line. Woooh!! No Fear!!! It was scary at first, and It's difficult for me to paddle the bike, coz my knees are shaking but as I go on, I just conditioned myself and enjoyed the beauty of nature from the top.  The ride is only P400.00 per person. That's Myzol with a smile! Congrats Myzol! we made it!!! :)

2014 Summer Getaway Part 2:It's our 46th Monthsary with Myzol @ Panglao Island, Bohol

Image
Our 46th Monthsary falls on Thursday May 15, May 7 of this year I informed Myzol that I applied for  a vacation leave to Bohol together with my Mom. The scheduled travel was supposedly by May 11, but unfortunately all tickets going to Jagna, Bohol, are already fully booked. So I told Myzol that I rescheduled my travel, instead of via Nasipit going to Jagna, Bohol, I decided to go via Cebu by May 14, so we will not be together on our monthsary by then, and I felt sad by that time. Unknowingly and to my surprise, Myzol has a scheduled meeting at Tagbilaran City with the Bohol Chamber of Commerce on May 16 at Bohol Tropics Resort. WOW! Thanks be to GOD! big smile! I bought 3 ship tickets at Cokaliong shipping lines for P825.00 each, Surigao to Cebu, we depart Surigao sea port at 7PM and arrived in Cebu, Pier 1, around 8AM, immediately we rushed to OceanJet ticketing outlet to grab a ticket going toTagbilaran City, and we arrived safely at Tagbilaran Port at 10:20 AM.  W...
