Day 3
Be up before the sun so your long walk
to L’Elephant Bleu doesn’t get too hot.
The charmingly boho French restaurant
serves a PHP120 Filipino breakfast with
Illy coffee that I would wake up for
(tel:
+63 (38) 502 8328).
If you’d rather
stay closer to home, get your Filipino
breakfast for the same price at Trudis’
Place, just a few resorts away from
Bohol Divers
(www.trudis-place.com).
After breakfast, spend the rest of
the morning exploring and enjoying
Alona Beach — it is only 1.5km long,
so it’s easy to walk from end to end.
Surprisingly, you won’t see that
many people basking in the sun and
splashing around in the waves except
towards the eastern end, where the
sand stretches over a wider area.
Most of the action is underwater, but
diving will require some dough — so
bring your mask and fins and stick to
snorkeling instead.
To catch your flight, leave plenty of
travel time to get back to Tagbilaran
(PHP25 for a jeepney). If you get a ride
quickly, take a quick
siopao
snack stop
