Nuts Huts

What a place! Nuts Huts is the name of the collection of huts where we stayed on Bohol. It sits in the middle of the jungle along the valley of the Loboc river.
You can only reach Nuts Huts by walking down a long dirt track and then down the longest staircase in Bohol.
The huts themselves are really simple, jsut a bed, fan, and a cold water shower along with a mosquito net that is designed to keep most of the critters off your body.
What the huts lack in modern comforts they make up for it with exquisite scenery and wonderful people. Owned by a Belgian family that switches off operation of the huts during the on and off season it is a haven for both backpackers and people just looking for an out of the way place away from the constant influx of drunken tourists.
As you walk down the staircase you are struck by the incredible beuaty of the place. Every where you look are coconuts, bananas, and flowers all interspaced with huge swatches of green. When I would sit on my veranda after everyone went to bed, reading my book, I could hear the sounds of ripe coconuts splasing from the tops of the trees into the river.
The family who run the huts are incredibly garcious hosts. Alwasy ready to sit and talk and offer advice on things to see and do in Bohol they were truely great hosts. The fact that the entire stay was dirt cheap and had excellent food did not hurt things either.
My total bill for all my food, beer, scooter rental, everything, from nuts huts for seven days was about $130.00

3. On our last night at Nuts Huts there were not alot of people hanging around so we spent the evening hanging out with Chris and Greta, the owners. Chris is in the red tank top and Greta is behind him in the white one. This is one of the few times that I saw Chris with a shirt on! The other people at the table are Saun, Kelly, Kelsey, and Chris and Gretels friends from Holland.
