Revisiting Bohol: Homestay at Cainglet's House

-


There are plenty of choices to stay in Bohol depending on the activities you want to experience. A hotel in Alona Beach, Panglao Island is a good choice if you want to experience the beach bum life. But if you want to see the local life, a hotel in Tagbilaran City can be a good start. For our second visit, we tried a new way - the homestay. We did not stay at a hotel or pension house but a home of a local for a minimal fee.

Cainglet's home is only a tricycle ride away from the airport. It is very convenient if you want to explore Tagbilaran City. It become our top choice since we intend to discover more of Bohol and the local culture. It is a good starting point for experiencing the local life!





Compared to a room at a hotel, our room isn't spacious but it has all the basic amenities. Towels and toiletries are provided. A double deck bed is also available. The Comfort Room is communal but it is located just beside the rooms. For just Php 400 per person/ day (Php 1,200 for a group of 4), breakfast is already included! For super budget travelers wanting to experience Bohol, this is perfect.

Staying at Cainglet's home made a huge difference in our short trip to Bohol. We experienced the Boholano hospitality at its best and found a home to come back in Bohol! If your interested, here is the contact number:

Marinduque, Philippines (Part 2): Glimpse of Boac, Marinduque

" If you want a vibrant night life, don't go to Boac or any place in Marinduque for that matter. Chances are you would get bored and head to Manila the morning after. If you want a peaceful night and experience the countryside but still have little semblance of sub-urban living, the Town Proper of Boac is the place for you."  -  yanx and vanz Marinduque is sometimes referred to as the Heart of the Philippines due partly to it's shape and geographical location. Boac is the provincial capital of Marinduque. Since we are still mourning, we decided to take a closer look at Boac and skip other beautiful destinations of the province for the meantime. Grid pattern, anyone? Like any town proper in rural Philippines, the town proper of Boac seem to impose an automatic curfew on itself. Stores and restaurants are closed by 6PM save for a few establishments like Mercury Drug and some sari-sari stores. Streets are very peaceful except for some night owls

Afternoon Tea Buffet Table We wanted to escape the summer heat without going to the malls or heading to the beach and breaking our wallets. We immediately called the Peninsula Manila Lobby for reservations after remembering that the renewal member's benefit of Peninsula Manila Card includes a complimentary afternoon tea buffet for two at the Lobby of Peninsula Manila. Pretty plates and teacups Beautiful Teapot It was our very first time to experience an afternoon tea buffet here. As soon as we were ushered to our table, we instantly remembered little girls playing tea party upon seeing the tea cups and tea pots. The server asked for our preferred drinks. We asked for a juice and a tea. A milk was also given probably to partner with the chamomile tea.
