Our flight to Tagbilaran was delayed for a few hours. I was a little disappointed that we wouldn't be at home on time. It was almost sundown when we took off. As our plane have gradually maneuvered above the skies , I decided to look out the window and take a peak of what it looked like when you're up in the clouds. I suddenly fell in love with what I saw. How could I be so coward not to take a plane ride before, if this view is the reward I get every time I fly? I realized how much of a sunset person I was that time. The burst of colors was extraordinary. Shifting colors from shades of blue to powdery pinks, I was left with my mouth wide open. Maybe, I should fly during sunsets more often in the future.
And also, our plane was stuck 3 hours in the air due to a traffic. We were supposedly the 10th plane to go the runway but we were currently at first so we went around in circles again and again and again. How's that for a trip you wouldn't forget?
Anyway, here's the full itinerary of our Cebu & Bohol trip, if you want to do a DIY tour like we did. I think every experience we have had (from getting lost and getting found) was very essential in making this trip very much worth the gamble.
