In retrospect: Thanksgiving 2012 P2

And we continue with our Thanksgiving 2012 getaway:

Day 1
Bohol
Island Tour

Woke up bright and early, yet still managed to miss the sunrise. Because it was too cold out and the bed was just (damn!) too enjoyable to part with. Such pussies but no matter, when we finally emerged from hibernation the sun was out so high all signs pointed to what a good day it was going to be.


Good morning from Bohol!
My first words? Can' wait to work on my tan.
My last words? Wala man lang akong sunburn!
You do awkward so well, V!
Of course, everything was a photo opportunity!

After a hefty breakfast, we set out to take a tour of the surrounding islands. We visited Balicasag first, and well, proceeded to arrange for lunch before anything else. Shaking my head, yes. Did I forget to mention our big breakfast at the resort? Didn't think so.

Hello, Balicasag! Don't let the pristine beach fool you, it's rocky out.
Not really conducive for swimming.
A smile for Booey!
Meet the one awesome person to go on awesome adventures with.
 Candids are awesome, those unguarded moments of beauty.
Lunch will be served in a few. Hang in there, hungry birds!
You know how you get into those awkward positions to get a photo?

A few more islands later and I'd lost all semblance of comprehension where their names are concerned. They all looked the same to me: Divine!


Off in search of eternal sunshine.
Motley crew. Big smiles all 'round.
Of course we just had to take one cliche couple shot. Haha!
Homebound. Gloriously spent and happy tired.

The sun setting and nothing but the sound of motors whirring as we left the last piece of land we visited disappearing into the horizon brought on melancholy of sorts, a feeling that something beautiful had come to pass and you're equal parts happy to have experienced it and sad that it was but meteoric.
