The pools of Bohol Island belong to all travelers

🌴
Days are for deep-sea AOW diving,
While nights onshore belong to the shimmering pools of the island,
To the cream-colored stairs at the end of a broken path,
To stolen coconut grove sunsets behind tin walls.
A true vacation
Teaches the eyes to find diamonds in imperfections.
