The Chocolate Hills is the most popular tourist attraction in Bohol. They look like giantt mole hills that are almost uniform in shape and size. These hills are covered in grass but during the dry season, the grass dries up and they turn chocolate brown, hence, acquiring the name Chocolate Hills.

We took photos the moment we arrived…

But to get a better view of these luscious hills we had to go to the observation deck.

The Observation deck is 214 steps away from the parking area… So up we went…

Another picture-taking while taking a breather…. we were not done with the 214 steps yet…look at peanutbutter♥, he was so tired he can’t even smile…

We finally reached the top and before anything else, we made a wish on the wishing well. Ykaie wished for a baby brother… LOL!

This is my sharpest photo and I am frowning.
Psh! Thanks to peanutbutter♥ for making me upset before this photo was taken.. I’m laughing about it now but I told him he better take me back to Bohol so I can have my photo taken again at the Chocolate Hills ~~ smiling next time, of course.
I can see why those hills are a big tourist attraction. They are really neat. The clouds look nice and fluffy too. I notice you didn’t look too happy so I’ll look for your smile next time 😉
Only 214 steps? Be glad it wasn’t 21,400! Then you’d REALLY be tired!
SKY SONG
Glowing moon and shining stars,
Venus, Jupiter and Mars,
Planets swirling round the sun;
Darkness falls when day is done.
In the vast and endless sky
Eagle, wren and falcon fly;
Over hill and dale they roam,
Calling cloud and thunder home.
