Good Times in Bohol

“I’ve been to Bohol a few times and have always enjoyed my trip there. The island has all manner of historical and natural sites, which means there’s always something to do and see if I don’t want to sit on the beach all day. You’ve got the Spanish colonial churches, the Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, caves, coral reefs. The first time I went there was with an old Oxford friend and we island hopped, visited the churches, all the usual sights, and attended a cockfight, which was particularly exciting. We went to see the church in Loboc, which had beautiful interiors and the famous bamboo organ, went up the river, and had lunch there. We were surrounded by jungle greenery, all very evocative. I’ve been in Bohol at several different times of the year, and the weather has generally been rather good, especially when we went island hopping and had picnic lunches organized by the hotel.” Things I take when I travel: 1 Hackett Belgravia wash bag in canvas with leather trim (P21,500 or about US $500) 2 Luxury Panama fedora hat (P4,250) 3 Hackett boat shoes (P11,550) 4 Faconnable polo shirts (rates start at P4,950) 5 Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport (P2,650) 6 Vintage swim shorts (P3,950) 7 Faconnable keyhole sunglasses (P11,500) 8 Clarins Men anti-fatigue eye serum (P2,650), Clarins sunscreen soothing cream progressive tanning (P1,750), Clarins after sun moisturizer self-tanning (P1,450) 9 Dunhill travel watch case (P11,105)
