Boracay.. at last!

Last weekend, I went to Boracay with some friends from my previous company for our very loooooong overdue vacation. Actually, me, Marien and Agdie were planning this trip since march. Since Marien left the company and Agdie is out of the country most of the time, our bora trip was delayed. We only started planning the bora trip last October when Marien found a cheap round trip plane fare from Manila to Kalibo via Cebu Pacific. Finding accomodations is a breeze because I knew someone who has a room for rent in the island. The exciting part is that the accomodation is near the beach! Because of that, we're all eager to go to Boracay immediately! heheheh.. We also encountered some problems a few days before our trip, but that didn't stop us from going to our destination.

After 4 hours of travel, we arrived at our destination- Boracay. Yey! We checked in first in our room then ate dinner at a nearby restaurant. We took pictures using my camera while waiting for food. After dinner we checked out the area and (as usual!) took some pictures. Then after buying some stuff at a nearby grocery, we decided to go home, drink beer and rest. heheheh

The next day, we decided to go island hopping. We visited 3 places around the island. Unfortunately, I forgot the names of the places that we visited. On our first stop, we visited an island that is known for its beautiful island scenery and caves On our next stop, we went snorkling. We saw a lot of beautiful school of fish and few corals as well. The current was really strong at that time so we're having a hard time hanging on the rope. After an hour we went to our last destination were we ate a very delicious lunch. We also bought some paslubong from the local vendors before we head back to the resort. We hang out at the room for a while then we decided to buy some pasalubong. I also took some pictures of the pasalubong, mostly keychains, in the market. After hours of shopping, we then decided to swim for while, took some pictures playing around with the sun and build castles at the beach. We hit the showers after a few hours then we went to the grocery to buy dinner. We tried to have a nightlife in boracay but it rained, so we called it a day.


On our third day, we ate breakfast at a nearby coffeeshop because Adgie and Marien wanted to drink coffee. After breakfast, we decided to go on a land tour. We visited mt Luho, where you can see the whole island, the butterfly garden, bat caves and a certain part of the island where you usually see in the postcards ( again, I forgot the name of the place!). After the land tour, we tried the parasailing. I must say, It's really cool and fun experience! Then after the parasailing, we tried kayaking for an hour then we swim for a while then hit the showers. We ate dinner afterwards then we again went to the grocery to buy some booze. We drank at the beach and have a little chitchat. We decided to sleep at around 12 midnight since we're leaving early the next day. I wish we could stay longer but we can't since we have to work. We woke up 4 hours later to prepare for our trip back home.We left boracay at around 6am. We arrived at the airport a few minutes after 8am, then at 9am, we're waiting for our call to board our flight. We left Kalibo at around 10 am and arrived at the domestic airport a few minutes passed 11am. And that concludes my trip to Boracay.
