Wrapping up the trip on Bohol showed off another part of the Philippines.  We headed inland and started by visiting a Tarsier Sanctuary to see some of the world's smallest primates. On the way we ran into 2 other cyclists from Salt Lake City traveling with folding bikes. We all connected and exchanged contacts in case our paths cross again.  Next up was a visit to a national park for some birding and a night safari.
