Boracay Escapade 2008: Part 2


February 18, 2008. This is our 3rd day at Bora. We wake up early this day and enjoy much of the sun. More photos oops for today as always. We ate dinner at the Hobbit’s House and went to the bar later. We meet a new friend name Maurits who join us at the table during the party (He connected with Ate Ria anyway).
February 19, 2008. Wake up early to enjoy more of the beach yet its raining continuously so we cannot go out much. But the rain cannot spoil our vacation, so in the afternoon, we went out and explore the beach again and more picture taking. We ate dinner with Maurits and have a few walks after. Then at night, we party since the rain had stopped and meet two person names Benjamin and Ken (nosebleed for Daze who talked with Ben but wish came true to have a photo with a blonde). We went home at 2am, prepare our things and have a nap before we leave.
Sad to leave February 20, 2008. It is still raining as we leave Boracay at 5am. Too early to leave the beautiful place and still dark with a few people also waiting for the boat trip going to Caticlan, yet we better be going so there will be enough time to travel going back Kalibo. Then ride the plane back to Manila.

There are two sad thought for this day: one is leaving the place as great as this; and next is, on our way to Kalibo Airport, the sun starts to shine. Hayz..sarap pa magstay Land be on vacation
Boracay :(

Boracay Escapade 2008: Part 1


With the scorching heat of summer, its really nice to have a dip in the water. Well it made me remember the trip with some friends at Boracay spending 5 relaxing days on the beach. Well, the trip made my mind so calm, without any thought of the work I left. And each day seems a fresh start.
Boracay is one of the hottest destionation for summer. Locals as well as foreigners flood this area for its long stretch of white beach and are lined with various hotels, bars and other various establisments. Located on Caticlan, this place is included on top 10 best beaches on the world. One of the most visited places in Boracay is the grotto. It is found just near the shore and standling like an island in the midst.
Sand Castle Attraction


Well, I remember the group stays at Diancin’s Cottages at Station2. It is like a hostel type. It is not beach front yet I can stay is still near the beach area and the location is good since it is near the flea market, restaurants as well as assistance area.
February 16, 2008. Our flight is suppose to be at 3pm but since there is some bad weather down south, it is delayed so we took pictures to ease out the boredom and meet new friends. We board the plane at 5pm, arriving late at Kalibo airport with drizzles welcoming us. From the airport, we took a ride from Kalibo going to Caticlan port and another ride going to Boracay via a boat. We arrive at Boracay around 8pm. Then we ate dinner after refreshing, check out some party places and decide to quit the day at 3am.

February 17, 2008. We wake up late so we are not able to see the sunrise yet we are lucky it’s a sunny day. We went out and stroll on the malls (see the pics on the bench and with the hats) as well as visit the grotto. Later at the afternoon we stay on shore for a break and waited for the sunset and dinner after wards. And since it is Sunday, bars are rarely occupied and less people around, some eating, a few drinking, so we take our rest early after a few walk around the area.
