the forest camp

3 days after the Bohol trip, I found myself inside a Ceres bus on the way to Dumaguete City. On a nearby town is a mountain resort famous for its natural flow of ground water. That's my destination last weekend with a couple of my friends. The spring is so inviting but it's really cold. I can't stay in the water for more than 2 minutes or I'll freeze my balls off. Entrance fee is only PHP60.00/head. Cottages good for 2 heads for a night's stay is only PHP600.00 but it's not air-conditioned. Anyway who needs it when it's cold up there. Good for cuddling and other "stuff", I tell you. *grin*


The place is called The Forest Camp as the sign suggests.


A hanging bridge. Nothing spectacular about this.


The water is really inviting. I was told that the townspeople have a subsidy of 600 pesos worth of electricity from the government. The whole town got its electricity from this spring.


The pool may look dirty but it's not. The water is from the spring so it is flowing all the time. The moss you found at the bottom is exactly the same found on the rocks in the spring.


It's not a gnome sitting on the ledge. That's me, silly.


Just testing the water. Brrrr. Cold. Cold.


Lilies! Uhmmmm... Lilies.. I can't think of anything to say more than that.


The view from the top of the hanging bridge.


The spring goes all the way to the shores of Dumaguete City. Can you see me hanging on that tree at the top of that big rock?... Just kidding..

If it was not for a very good friend from Germany who was here since the 13th of October, I wouldn't spend a whole day in Bohol and tour the entire island. The whole trip was so exhausting, then I had to report for work the following day. I told Mom I can't come to her house on Nov. 1st because of an anticipated heavy traffic and all but there I was in Bohol. But anyway, the scenery was worth it all or I just like to believe it that way so I wouldn't endlessly lambast myself for doing such a tiring journey.

Long steps going to the viewing deck


Adorable tarsiers. Made me want to squeeze them until their eyeballs pop out from their heads


Striking similarity


I'm not the mushy kind of guy but I just found this primate irresistibly cute.
