Vest Pension House,

If you want an affordable but clean place to stay in Bohol, specifically in the capital city of Tagbilaran, turn nowhere else, take a visit to Vest Pension House. It provides standard service to the unassuming travel whether you are a sole traveller, family, or travelling with a group of friends with its accommodations ranging from 1000 pesos - 3000 pesos/night, it is the rate to beat.

If you opt to shy away from the extravagant hotels and resorts and want value for you money, give them a visit. They have their own website too, where you may book you reservations online

Jagna, yummy yummy Calamays

No pics as of this time but will surely post some as soon as I get my hands on this yummy concoction from this lively town of Jagna.

Jagna is Calamay Country! No doubt about that. Calamay is a sweet delicacy made of sticky rice (or malagkit) and dark muscovado sugar bottled in cocoshells that are cleaned till they resemble small balls and lined across with red-colored paper to seal the yummy stuff inside.

If you buy them at Jagna, right in front of their newly-built market, they come cheap at 25 pesos at the least. Vendors can't be missed as they haul baskets of these sweet delicacies as soon as your car/bus/van comes to a stop in these area. They come in different sizes, small, medium, large and also in varieties of plain or with peanuts. I suggest the plain variety...yummY! I can't wait for my next calamay pig-out.

So when you go for a country-side tour of Bohol, make sure you buy these sweet delicacy you'll find nowhere else!
