Magandang Araw! Greetings in Tagalog, from the Philippines. Sun kissed and safe, our time in the Philippines is ever-so-perfectly crawling by. Today we rented a motorbike and cruised to the natural miracle of "Chocolate Hills" on the island of Bohol in the central Philippines. The lumpy brown and green lush phenomenon is a top-notch and nation-wide famous landmark. But I think Gino and I did it just right.
Cruising on the 110CC "RED FIRE" (deemed that name by me just now)the wind was blowing in our faces, enhancing an already existent wide-smile as we rode with the near-equatorial sun scorching our shoulders. Our first stop was the largest living python in the world. This serpent spanned 26 feet and weighed-in at more than 200 kilograms. We were lucky to meet our nice guide and very fine drag queen to show us the largest python in the world. It's the size of a 40-year python, but it itself is only nine. The beautiful SHEman told us the reason for it's sheer enormity is the abundant Tender Loving Care that it has received.
On the ride back from the Chocolate Hills we satisfied one of our many life long dreams. I rode a Carabou, which I think is a water oxen, and Gino played with Milky the Monkey. It has been one of Gino's life long dreams to play with someone's monkey.
Well, all for now............ pictures will fill in the gaps later...
