Panglao Island Nature Resort

Panglao Island Nature Resort is easily my favorite among the many places we visited at Bohol. The view was nice, the ambience was relaxing and although the beach was not as great as Bohol Beach Club’s – the infinity pools more than make up for it. And my tastebuds also loved the food at PINR more so than the ones we ate at BBC or Loboc River Cruise. The only thing I can think of that would make Panglao Island Nature Resort even more family friendly is if they had a rheem pool heater, making the pool a pleasure to swim on at night or early in the morning. Here is Kuya and Bunso playing around at the pool:

Z’s Toy Boat

While vacationing at Bohol, we visited a nearby mall called The Island City Mall of Tagbilaran. While replenishing our supplies, we looked at the toy section and bought Z a simple and cheap toy boat. This decision was one of the best purchases we’ve done at Bohol because Z really loved it. It made his swimming experience a lot better and enjoyable. He played with it a lot while swimming at Panglao Nature Island Resort. Too bad that we could not find the required screw driver to install its battery which was a duracell procell aaa, thankfully the boat still floated on its own and moved which kept Z’s enjoyment at maximum.

Z’s Red Cap

Before we went to Bohol, we knew that the weather will be a bit hot so we decided to buy Z a nice cap. Z was looking for the best hat, he looked at baseball caps, hard hats, fedoras and even Cowboy Hats. Until finally he picked a nice looking red cap, which is quite big for his head. Since it is adjustable, we bought it for him and that red cap shielded Z from the fierce sun during our beach stays at Bohol Beach Club and Panglao Island Nature Resort. He also used it during our Bohol country side tour and removed it on his head when the wind was too much while viewing the famous Chocolate hills of Bohol. Looks like the purchase was well worth it.

Time out at Eastwood

Earlier I went out to process my clearance from the last company that I worked for.  I brought Zyke along just so I won’t get bored and since he also wanted to ride our office elevators again.  When we got there I realized too late that today was a special holiday.  Offices are closed and the people that will sign my clearance will not come to work.

So instead of accepting that we just wasted fuel and time I took my son for a stroll in Eastwood.  We went to the A store and sat at the park right in front of it, with the water fountains.  We waited for more than an hour for the A store to open, because we were supposed to buy an iPad cover.  The long wait was worth it because my son  and I spent quality time together, I taught my son how to imagine shapes of things on clouds and we spent a lot of time doing that.  He also had fun running around and playing with other kids at the park.  When some shops were open we looked around and saw interesting things like a toy store that sells educational toys  that are expensive.  We also saw some buick terraza custom floor mats and other furniture for sale at the next shop. What made the day special still was the clouds and that we spent more than an hour doing nothing just sitting at the park.
