Bohol - Day 1, Loboc River Cruise

Exhausted from the walk/climb up the viewing deck to see the chocolate hills, we headed for lunch at the Loboc River. It was one of the must-see places in Bohol. And yes, it was also in John Lloyd and Bea's "Close to You." Hihi :P

We were famished at that time so we didn't care much how the food tasted. The food was so-so (at least it wasn't horrible :P) but it was a good that we were able to sample a lot of the local dishes.
