Almost always, the country side tour would bring you to Loboc to have buffet lunch on a floating restaurant while traversing the very pristine Loboc river. While enjoying your lunch onboard, you are usually serenaded by guitarists, singers, or sometimes a choir. This is also where my Last Song Syndrome started with the guitarist playing the song ‘Balik sa Bohol’ near the end of the river cruise.

Ofcourse if it is your first time to come to Bohol, it would be a sin not drop by and see the places and things that made Bohol a popular tourist destination and the Chocolate Hills is the ultimate must see place in Bohol.

I have a severe case of “Last Song Syndrome”. The song “Balik sa Bohol” kept on playing in my mind from the first time I’ve heard it at the very scenic Loboc river up to the departure area of Tagbilaran airport.And just like the song, images of the scenic Bohol also kept on flashing in my head as I relish the moments I was there.
