The resort had a nice pool, access to the beach, play ground, fish spa and volleyball court.

Mason loved having his “Big Boy Friends” around, and I think they also liked having him around as well.

Kalani loved having friends around to swim with.

We had some fun playing sand volleyball.

When it wasn’t overcast too much, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset.

Farley family had a wonderful week in Perth, Australia!

Old Roman Catholic Church, Baclayon, Bohol. Its first structure was built in 1595, but the current building is from 1724.

1565 blood compact between Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, the chieftain of Bohol. A blood compact was intended to seal a friendship, pact, or treaty, or to validate an agreement.

Python Sanctuary…this snake is still alive but doesn’t move because of obesity.

We paid $2.50 to have this “ladyboy” do a comical rendition of Mariah Carey…Mason wasn’t impressed.

“Hanging Bridge” made of some steel wire, but mostly bamboo.

We paid this guy $2.50 to husk a coconut with his teeth…He did it under 10 seconds.

Trying to get tickets for lunch and the guys got rushed by strangers who wanted their photo taken with blonde hair, blue eye, good looking foreigners.

Lunch buffet while floating down the Loboc River. We had our own private musician for our boat.

Dancers we saw while on the Loboc River.

Chocolate Hills of Bohol…what the island is known for

You can see Tarsiers (smallest primate) at Bohol.

At the last stop of our tour we saw more tarsiers just before closing time and the worker put one on our hands.

Last stop on our tour was a super fun kids play area.

Walking around Nate’s old mission area trying to find food and to see if Nate recognizes anything from nearly 15 years ago.

We stayed at a pretty run down place, but it was near the ferry port. We all loaded up into 2 trikes and headed to the ferry terminal to go to Cebu.

While waiting to board the ferry boat there was a family of musicians to entertain us. The youngest daughter was a really good singer.

Ready to get inside a poorly air conditioned ferry boat for the next 30-60 minutes to go to Cebu.

Ready to board our plane for Coron…but first a few rounds of the game “Telephone” while we wait for the plane.

This island is Club Paradise as seen from the plane.

After an hour long plane ride, the resort had a shuttle waiting for us at the airport.

After the 30 minute shuttle ride, we got on a boat for about 40 minutes to get to the resort. It was a beautiful view the whole time and they had a sack lunch waiting for each of us.

We had our own private musicians greet us once we arrived to the resort.

Our room at Club Paradise was spacious and everyone had a proper bed to sleep in.

Taking a hike around the resort. Our destination was a look-out tower to see some fruit bats.

We passed by this lagoon on our hike and spotted some monitor lizards…can you find them?

Fruit bats leaving the resort island at dusk to to hunt on the main island.

Dinner buffet on the beach and an Easter show our first night where we won 2 free massages.

We saw some jellyfish and some got stung by them while swimming. But, we also saw sea turtles since they eat jellyfish.

Powdery white sandy beaches at Club Paradise was perfect to bury the kids.

Leaving for our day excursion of the “Coron Island Tour” where we were able to snorkel at 3 different locations and spend time at a Natural Spring in Coron.

Coron has some of the cleanest and clearest water that we have ever seen. The rock formations were pretty spectacular as well.

All 9 of us enjoyed snorkeling and seeing all the fish in the extremely clear water.

The Natural Hot Springs were HOT since it was already a hot and sunny day.

Everyone had a wonderful time at Club Paradise with it’s beautiful sandy beaches, buffet food, fruit bats, ocean, pool, games, massages, etc

It was sad to leave Club Paradise, but we still had many more fun adventures planned.
