One of the best parts of Siquijor was the butterfly sanctuary.  I’d never been to anything like this, but I have to admit, being in a beautiful garden with butterflies flying all around is about as close to heaven as I’ve ever come… it was certainly much better than the “Heaven” room the Baptists would send me to with the fake stream flowing over a tarp and the fake Jesus giving me a hug in Teva sandals…

At any rate, the butterfly sanctuary is located near the highest peak on the island, so the bike ride up is amazing, and once you’re there you can see the entire island.

It was wonderful.

Here’s a short video clip (1:50)…

And here are the photos.  You can view the full set here.

Lovely, lovely. But it’s like watching bears at the zoo; they don’t really DO anything.
PS Instead of that windchimes ‘Teahouse of the August Moon’ music, you should play an 80′s tune called ‘Chanson Papillon’.
