Bohol Island

Once Matt and I had sufficiently relaxed, we decided to hire a car and driver to take us on a tour of the sights of Bohol Island. So, our hotel hooked us up with a driver named Bobby. He was really nice and didn't talk too much. (The taxi drivers that had brought us from the airport talked WAY too much and they annoyed me alot. The kept laughing maniacally and did not stop talking to us for one second. They thought Germans were ugly and told us that over and over again. Matt liked it but I didn't.)

The first place we went was the Chocolate Hills. In the summer they turn brown but when we went they were green, so not very chocolatey at all. They still looked cool though, cause they just popped out of the rice paddies randomly and it looked sort of unearthly. Even more interesting than the Chocolate Hills was the drive through the island. There were lots of rice paddies and since it was a Sunday there were lots of people at public markets and coming to or from church.
