After 26 years, I'd just about grudgingly accepted that hills in the real world don't look like the perfectly round domes found only in children's drawings, Postman Pat and Super Mario games.
Then I visited the Chocolate Hills in Bohol and realised I was right all along. Take that, experience! Let's a-go.

Chocolate Hills,
Bohol
As weird and attractive as this place is, the fact that I visited on a typically rainy day means these photos aren't as impressive as they could have been. But you don't come here for high quality photos, do you? You come here after optimistically searching for sexy teachers and cheerleaders and leave slightly disappointed. So sod you!
I don't understand, it never rained in Super Mario World

No wonder Pat feels he's a really happy man
Lobok river cruise
A chance to see more of Bohol's landscape (less extraterrestrial this time) with a pleasant trip down the river. They even gave me food and staged a half-hearted dance performance for presumably the fiftieth time that afternoon.
Jesus, it's like that bit in The Wicker Man
Let's feed the tourist hilarious foods. This could be a turd in batter for all I know.
Doesn't matter, it was still nice

Water's been sort of a theme of my Philippines trip, hasn't it?
