On our third day in Bohol, we decided to just stay at our resort in Panglao Island (Bagobo Beach Resort). Our original plan was to go to Danao Adventure Park, the newest adventure destination in Bohol, for some ziplining, kayaking and trekking. But our first two days in Bohol proved to be extremely exhausting so we decided to just stay and spend the entire day relaxing at the beach. It was a wise choice.

Panglao Island. Serene and pretty!

Since almost everyone in the group was working as corporate slaves, we certainly needed a stress-free break and it was the perfect opportunity for it.

As early as 8am, we were up and swimming and snorkeling, making our last glimpses of Panglao’s electric blue sea stars and colorful fish in its shallow waters. Don’t avoid the grassy part of the sea. Get your goggles and dip your face in the water and you’ll see small fish and other marine species there, although be careful because there are spiky sea urchins in some areas.

A six-legged sea star. I don't know what to call their limbs actually.

A sand castle. Sort of.

My friends playing at the beach!

Panglao Island Sunset :D

That was all we did the entire day — swimming, rolling in the sand, taking pictures of everything, waiting for the sunset and then enjoying the sunset, drinking by the beach. It was the most relaxing day of our lives.
