We’re having a fairly light day on Day 07 at Bohol Island: there’s just one itinerary activity today, and that\u2019d be a river cruise and lunch at Loboc River. We’d be picked up at 11AM and will be back at the resort by 3PM. With this much free time before and after the cruise, I was up early again at 5AM to catch the morning sunrise off Alona Beach where our resort is located.<\/p>\n
Like Malapascua Island, the island was only just waking up at sunrise, but there were already staff around cleaning various segments of the beach. I’d checked earlier yesterday evening with the resort staff if it was OK for me to fly a drone around the beach area, and they said to go right ahead. Bohol is clearly becoming my kind of place as someone learning aerial videography and flying drones!<\/p>\n
This side of Bohol \u2014 or more specifically Panglao Island \u2014 is also significantly more built-up than Malapascua. We checked out the Alona Beach road yesterday night to look for dinner, and this beach stretch was filled with restaurants with live bands playing, shops, a 24-hour McDonald’s with a Jollibee right beside it \u2014 the kids said the two would be eyeballing each other all the time while vying for the same consumer group. I’d initially thought that few tourists would want to visit Bohol and much less stay overnight \u2014 and boy, was I completely wrong on that. The Alona Beach area is filled with visitors, both domestic and foreign. Thankfully, our resort \u2014 the Blue Ocean Bohol Beachfront Resort \u2014 is located at the far end of Alona Beach and away from these lively restaurants.<\/p>\n
Pictures below, with the morning sunrise video to follow once I get the Internet bandwidth to upload it. I’ll also be doing an evening aerial shoot later in the day, so more to come soon!<\/p>\n We’re having a fairly light day on Day 07 at Bohol Island: there’s just one itinerary activity today, and that\u2019d be a river cruise and lunch at Loboc River.
