Island number 2 in the Philippines: after spending a couple of days in Cebu, we are currently on Bohol, another island of the Visayas.
We are staying in a nice little place by the river and we have been busy on the island today.

We got a crazy local bus (there is no such thing as a bus too full in Asia... People will get on and make space where you did not think there was any!) to a place called the Chocolate Hills. It has some got some nice views and, even if we got completely drenched on the way to the top - still monsooning around here, the hills do look like chocolate!
The second stop of today was at the Tarsier Conservation Centre.
These little guys are carnivorous primates, weighing up to 160gr for the males. They only measure up to 160 mm (6.30 in) in height and they cannot move their eyes. Their skull however can rotate 180°. They are nocturnal animals and this species only lives in the Philippines.
They are considered endangered so we were lucky to see them in their natural habitat, the conservation area.

Moving onto the smaller but close island of Panglao tomorrow, looking forward to exploring more of the Philippines...
