Man-made Forest

Hanging Bridge
After passing by the winding road in the middle of the man-made forest and taking jump shots in the middle of the wet road, our adventurous side is yet again tested in a bamboo hanging bridge that crosses the upper part of Loboc River.

Every trip is not complete without souvenir or pasalubong shopping. Shirts, bags (mostly native), hankies, shawls, delicacies and many other souvenir items can be bought here.
After our pocket-damaging activity at Aproniana, we proceeded to Paragayo Beach Resort in Panglao. We stayed there for a night but too bad I wasn't able to join the group's beach side activity for our relative who is based there picked me up at the resort and brought me to there house for dinner. We even went to Tagbiliran City for sight-seeing and grocery shopping. It was already around 9:00 pm when I get back to the resort.
