We left the Alona to go to Cebu city
by the 17:00 Ocean jet from Tagbilaran peir.
So, untill that time, we'll go sightseeing
in Bohol island.
Bohol island has some of interesting place.
Chocolate hills is one of the most
spectacular landscapes.
I've never seen such a scene !
We have to go up
this stares.
Ozz at the chocolate hills.
Me, too.
This is last dinner in Alona.
We visited Kamalig restaurant
where our diving instructor recommended.
We ordered that below starter,
of course, with San Migel beer and rum coke !
"Kinilaw" (200 peso / 500 yen)
This is one of Philippne local food that
raw fish and vegetables in sweetened vinegar,
it's like a marinade.
This resraurant's kinilaw is very good at a litte bit spicy.
Very fit with drinking !!
The chef of this restaurant is Italian.
So, Spaghetti is very nice !
We could eat "Al dente spaghetti " here.
After eating dinner, we walked around the beach.
We were very tired of 4 day's diving.
So, we had a Philippine massage on the beach.
Alona beach is a tourist resort,
so there're many massagist even 8 o'clock in the evining.
We asked oil body massage for 1 hour.
(250 peso for 1 person / 625 yen)
Massagists spreaded a blanket on the beach,
and we laid down there, and started our relax and comforble time
listening a calm wave sound and countless stars on the sky.
Very very very good. Almost menting.... ZZZ...
Alona's life was over today.
Thanks Alona !!
When we came back to Alona from Balicasag,
we did snorkel in the sea of in front of our bungalow.
Yes, we loved Alona beach. We loved tropical fich watching !
And then, after taking a shower,
we took a walk on the beach-side.
This is the main
road of Alona.
Very simple road !
Just a road !
This is a vehicle that is called "tricycle".
We rented a bike for 2 hours for an exploration
in Pangrao island.
Rental fee is 200 peso (500 yen) for 2 hours and
80 peso (200 yen) for 2 litter gas.
To our surprise, when I asked gas for our bike,
A storekeeper brought 2 coke-bottles full of gasoline !!
Driver was Ozz and I got in back of him.
At first, I was afraid of double riding.
But, it was very fun !!
Breeze is very comfortable to us.
And we could see the scenery and people ordinary life
in this Panglao island.
One of regrettable things was that we should rent more
earlier time.
Sunset immediately came and very dark around !
Today is last diving day in Balicasag.
Beautiful and wondering island
Balicasag !
Boat on the white sandy beach
We were going to looking forward to see
the galden barracuda again but failed on today.
However, we could see there several beautiful

They were swiming so much elegant.
It's likes swiming toward the Sea God's Palace...
