If your looking for a fun filled outdoor extreme adventure then Bohol's newest attraction in Danao is for you. E.A.T. Danao or Extreme Adventure Tour Danao also known as Eco Adventure tour Danao or Educational Adventure Tour Danao but I'll just refer to it as Extreme. Some of E.A.T.'s Extreme activities are

• Sky Ride
• Plunge
• Suislide
• River Trekking
• River Tubing
• River Kayaking
• Wall Climbing
• Village Tour
• Organic Farm Visitation
• Camping
• Rappelling
• Root Climbing
• Caving 
  

The Sky Ride is basically a cable ride that holds up to 6 people at about 200 meters from the ground.
The Plunge is like a death drop where you are harnessed to a rope and you drop about 45 meters and then swing out over a gorge.
The Suislide is where you would lay down flat and and glide hanging from a zip line superman style 200 meters over a gorge.
River Trekking is actually a combination of Trekking, Climbing and Swimming ranging anywhere from 2 hours to an entire day along the Wahig River.
Wall Climbing consists of an artificial wall with fiber glass grips for hands and feet. There are three different levels of difficulty and to date there hasn't been a single person to make it to the top on the first try of the extreme wall.

Here is some video we took of the suicslide!

I stopped in at Simply Butterflies conservation center here in Bohol today. I've always been interested in checking them out and finally got around to it. There was no parking fee and no charge to enter. They seem to simply operate from donations and internet orders for butterflies. We were approached by a guide who gave us a tour of the place and educated us on things like the difference between a moth and a butterfly and what it might be like to live as a butterfly. The place was well kept and they have a very nice habitat for the butterflies to live in. The butterfly garden has some of the strangest flowers I have ever seen. Some looked as though they could have been from another planet.

They take orders for butterflies so you can release them at wedding occasions or whatever precious moment you might be having that would call for such a thing. What I have learned about ordering hand raised butterflies is although it may be beautiful to have them flying around you, their chances of living very long are slim. Without have the appropriate enviroment in which they were grown in they will die rather quickly. Being so warm here in Bohol all year around is very good for the butterfly business here. A large number of butterflies are also released back in the wild to prevent the loss of rare and dying breeds. I didn't notice any vendors and no one tried to pressure me into buying anything. It's just a great place to take some pictures of some beautiful butterflies and it is a great cause. I think its well worth a visit. It is located in Bilar on the way to the chocolate hills.You can check out their website here.

It was such a beautiful day today that I just couldn't let myself sit in front of the computer. So I decided to put on a pair of shorts and take a trip to the Loboc Hanging Bridge. I didn't know just how many people would be there when we arrived. I'd guess there was somewhere between 30 - 40 people. I was charged 10 pesos to park and 20 pesos for entry. The bridge itself is approximately 20 meters high. It is essentially built with steel cables and woven strips of bamboo to walk across. The steel cables and the overall length of the bridge seem to give it a bit of a bounce and sway as your walking across. The Hanging Bridge was built in 1972 and is 37 years old. The steel cables were last replaced back in 2001 and look strong in appearance. Not that I'm any sort of expert in the longevity or durability of steel cables but at no time did I fear for my life. I inquired about the strips of bamboo and how often they were replaced. The told me every six months. It only took a couple of minutes to reach the other side and when we arrived there were a group of children playing musical instruments for donations along with the typical souvenir shop. I should also mention one of the coolest attractions about the place is a local who dehusks coconuts with his teeth. I guess he was off doing something else today but hopefully I will catch him next time around. Loboc is about a 30 minute drive from my place and I could spend all day just driving around and soaking up the beauty of this island.
