Bohol it is... Day 2

Praise God, for day two started with a very fine day. =)

After breakfast, we went to the first part of  our itinerary, the Nova Shell Museum.

Nova Shell Museum is owned by  Mr. Quirino Hora, a well-known shell collector from Panglao Island, Bohol.

His interest in shell collection paid him a success of having his own museum and an opportunity to have shells named after him.

Bursa Quirihorai, he discovered in 1987 while Primovula Horai was in 1994. Both shells were found in Panglao Island.

The biggest shell in the museum.

The smallest shell in the museum.

then The Hinagdanan Cave (located at Bingag, Dauis, Bohol)

I'm not into caves, and this was my first to enter a cave with narrow opening, but it was really a wonderful experience. Thanks to our guide (forgot his name) for taking beautiful photos inside. =)

 

In the 16th Century, Bingag was covered by thick vegetation.  The people came to live and developed the land. One day, while the owner of this land was clearing the area for a farm, he discovered two adjacent holes. Noticeable only when some decayed trunks were removed. He tried to determine its depth by throwing a stone down and was surprised to hear a splash. 

The present entrance was discovered much later when a big tree died and decayed which was found out to be connected to the two original holes. Later on, a ladder was made in order for someone to get down inside without having difficulties. Ladder in the dialects is "Hagdan". So the cave came to be known as Hinagdanan Cave. 

Meanwhile, the early inhabitants use this cave as a source of water for drinking, washing and bathing.

lunch at  Bohol Bee Farm.

Bohol Bee Farm, one of the very popular tourist's spots in Panglao Island, Bohol.

For me, it was like Sonia's Garden in Tagaytay because of their Garden Fresh products and amenities such as Rooms, Spa, etc. for tourists but Bohol Bee Farm has more to offer.

You will have a quick tour to the farm and a short trivia about what grows in their garden what they can do to our body to keep us healthy. Tour and trivia are facilitated by their staff.

Crafts and Livelihood : An all women section of the farm that creates handy crafts for souvenirs.

Malungay, Langka, Pandan and Spicy Ginger Ice Cream
