We interrupt the series on Melaka to feature the beaches of Bohol in central Philippines. I was listening to the radio this morning and the DJs were proclaiming the start of summer. And I firmly believe that beaches are definitely more fun in the Philippines! Following are photos from our 2008 trip to Bohol where we stayed at the Bohol Beach Club, perhaps one of the oldest resorts on the island of Panglao, which is connected to the main island via a bridge and causeway.

| Who can resist such tempting hammocks along the beach? |
 |
| Footprints in the sand? |
 |
| Early morning tides bring sea weed to the beach |
 |
| The powdery white sands of Panglao rival Boracay's (perhaps the most popular island in the Philippines) |
 |
| Be sure to bring your goggles if you want to explore further away from the beach |
 |
| It's the perfect place for an escape from the urban jungle |
 |
| Leave your worries behind and take a dip in the pristine waters off Panglao Island |
 |
| Alona Beach in the late afternoon can be quite busy as several resorts and inns share the stretch. Rates are quite inexpensive, translating to a lot of visitors who would probably prefer to shell out more for their dives. |
