    Yep it is the new airport. To sum it up:

    Aesthetics - 4.5 out of 10 - they would have to do a lot of finishing it, touch ups.
    Function - 5.5 out of 10 - Very utilitarian. The urinals' auto-flusher at the Men's room was not working. No exhaust at the smoking lounge. Not enough seats and gates - some gates are overcrowded. The check-in spacious but Cebu Pacific is very slow. They should have a an automatic check in. The air-bridges are not working. They have the walkalators tho.

    I think they should start building a new airport. Compared to NAIA 1 of course, T3 is like Greenbelt to a Victory Liner terminal.

    well basically we dont have a fixed itinerary:

    Saturday- arrived in Bohol an hour late because Cebu Pac has to change tires. - 2pm
    jumped into a van.. went to Loboc River with the Tarsiers, sped to Chocolate Hills stopping by at the man-made forest for a bit. came back and went to see the world largest python in captivity..took pictures of the baclayon church and the banyan tree..checked in at a hotel in panglao.

    Sunday - went to Bohol Beach Club, lazed by the beach, drank beers, swam the pool, went to alona beach, rented kayaks and went kayaking into the sunset, then had an hour massage by the beach under the stars, had mai-tais and mango shake with rhum, went to dinner over a yummy grilled parrot fish and some german beef soup with sauerkraut and tall oetinger.

    Monday- went back to Manila! :)

    i missed floating face up, eyes closed, talking silently to myself and God in this white beach fronting the Bohol Beach Club. and the best thing is: being undisturbed!

    were the evening serenaders still there at the club? the ones who sing you folk songs and ballads and anything you request under the moonlit night while you eat and drink enjoy finest moments with your loved one, he he

    Oh, we dint stay at Bohol Beach Club, we were staying at Alona Beach, but I think Dumaluan (where Bohol Beach Club is) is heaps better than Alona...

  17. riain ~~~April 22, 2009 at 7:13 AM

    This is Alona Beach... I prefer the beach at Dumaluan... it is much wider... I already spy trash lying everywhere in Alona Beach which is kinda sad... and a lot of people bothers you... When it comes to sand quality, Boracay is still way finer though...

    It is cool pero, there is some areas that looks a bit unfinished pa... I think they should start building a new airport, madali na ring mapuno ito...

    I heard may suicidal tarsier na. Inumpog raw ang ulo until s/he died. I wonder if it were true.

    Yes, if the tarsier's partner is taken away - they kill themselves rather than be alone....
