No Experience Required

A ferry eases away from Cebu at dawn and the horizon opens into Bohol’s low islands — palms lean and the sea seems to push you toward a day of contrasts. By mid-morning the tour moves inland: roads climb between rice paddies and, suddenly, the Chocolate Hills rise in rows of conical limestone, each mound catching light differently as if the land were breathing.
