Day II: Panglao Beach (Half Day-Morning)

   From our Hotel, walked to the Jeepney Terminal to Panglao Island, but a local tricycle driver offered us a ride to Panglao Beach (our Target was Dumaluan Beach Resort known as one of the cheapest resorts in Panglao). I negotiated with the driver in Visayan Dialect.(Bisdak Ini) and settled a reasonable price (back and forth).

   Traveling from Tagbilaran to Dumaluan Beach in Panglao took us around 20-30 mins. According to our driver he will fetch us by 11:00 am. No payment yet.
