  • Bohol adventure, day 2

    Travel

     
    Here are some pictures on the second day of our adventure. Thanks to iTravel iExplore and the Soil and Water Conservation Foundation for making this weekend extra special. Pictures taken by me and Jay Dalumpines.


    At the place where we stayed. In green is Aida and the one standing behind me is her son Chris. He is now based in Canada.


    Feeding the monkeys at Magsaysay Park. This is the alpha male. It is recommended to have the guides feed the monkey and definitely no junk food, just fruits.


    We had lunch at the Jose L. Gonzaga Farmers' Foundation in Danao started by the Mayor and his family. Here they grow organic vegetables and others, support local weavers, and give livelihood to women. We had fish caught from the river (not farmed) and yes vegetables that they grew without any chemicals. Here are a few other pics from the place.


    The flowers were beautiful


    They do vermiculture for fertilizer


    Organically grown chili


    Fashion accessories made by a local women's organization. The Gonzaga's hired a foreign designer to help the women make stunning fashion accessories and bags.

    After lunch, we went to Danao Adventure Camp where I had the thrill of my life as I jumped around twenty floors down (I think) from the cliff in what they call as the plunge. Wow!


    Preparing for the Plunge


    That's the plunge!


    Whoa! It was quite a thrill, and I love to do it again!


    Satisfied. Now I know why some people are suicidal. The jump is liberating.


    But please don't jump without the harness...


    Others did the Suisride or the zip line. That's Juliet and Jay.


    While Mama Emma did the Skyride. :D


    The adventurers!

    It was a weekend full of fun and blessings. Again, thank you Juliet, thank you Venice, thank you Bill, and thank you Aida!
