After the Loboc River Cruise, we went off to see the Chocolate Hills. This was the main event of the day for me as it would be my first to see them not just in books and postcards. Yey! Along the way, our attention was caught by this Ship-shaped house (that was a tongue twister haha) so we went down from the service and took a picture or two. Picture taking was free, but donations were encouraged.
After a 20 minute ride, we had our first glimpse of a hill. 10 minutes after that, we found ourselves walking up to the viewing deck. It was a breath-taking climb (literally and figuratively). We were slow in pace for the parents, often taking a short sit at the benches at the sides. It was one cardio, I tell you :p
It was a beautiful site, being surrounded by greens and a few chocolate colored ones. We stayed at the top for just a few minutes as it was pretty hot at the viewing deck, good thing it was windy. There was a photographer who'd take your picture as if you were flying over the hills. We didn't bother to ask how much as we expect it to be overpriced. At the bottom were tinderas of various snacks including chocolate milk drinks made from carabao milk. I would have bought one had I not feared my stomach might react to it which would not be good as we still have tons of places to visit.
On the way to the Tarsier Conservation, we passed through the Man Made Forest,and of course, we parked at the side to take some pictures. It was amazing that this was man made, and from the looks of all the trees, they must have been planted way back. Kuya Cito told us the year, I just couldn't remember it.
