We woke up to a breakfast of longganisa, garlic rice , sunny-side-up egg and a banana.

After breakfast, we headed to the beach and spent our last day savoring the Bohol waters….

Goodbye Bohol. I know you’re gonna miss me but don’t worry, I’ll be back…

Baclayon Church

The Church of Immaculada Concepcion also known as the Baclayon Church is considered to be one of the oldest churches here in the Philippines. This was our last stop in our country-side tour. It was past five o’ clock when we arrived here.

We weren’t able to go inside the church because there was a sign on the front door that those who are wearing shorts are not allowed to go in. So we just said our prayers outside and lighted a pink and green candle for love, marriage, success and business.

This is the bell tower. I wonder if this is still being used up to this day…

After praying, we went across the street for some barbecue then headed off to S.T.K. for dinner.

Simply Butterfly Conservation Center, Bohol

Simply Butterflies Conservation is located in Bilar, Bohol. It’s main goal is to raise the butterfly population in Bohol and of course, contribute money to the local economy by using butterflies and its by-products. The entrance fee for adults is P30 and for children 4-10 years old, it’s only P5.

They gave us an educational tour telling us the biggest butterfly, the difference between a moth and a butterfly and of course showed some caterpillars, chrysalis and all other things about butterflies.

He even let ykaie hold the different kinds of caterpillars….

Then he took us to the Butterfly Garden and the Butterfly Enclosure, home of over 60 species of butterflies. This particular butterfly that he showed us smells like chocolate. Yup, I sniffed..LOL!

The butterflies in the Butterfly Enclosure are very friendly. You can play with them or just watch them while sitting on the seats provided which are scattered around the area.

There is a Picnic Area in the Conservation Center where families can bond while eating their “baon” {food they brought} and if you didn’t bring any food and you got hungry or thirsty, there’s also a restaurant inside where you can buy food, drinks and their very own Madame Butterfly Ice Cream.
