Boracay Escapade

November 25-27, 2007

Attendees: Rose and Hana

At last long-made plan to Boracay pushed through. Amidst all the typhoons: Lando at Mina, I was not disappointed at all; still I had a blast at the beautiful white-beach of Boracay with my dear friend Hana!

Nov. 25, 9:05am Flight to Kalibo Aklan, on board Cebu Pacific we arrived earlier than expected. Weather's still fine. Approached by the porters in Kalibo Airport who offered Van for hire to Caticlan Port, inclusive of boat ride na for only Php 200.00. About an hour and a half land trip to Caticlan Port, then another less than 20minutes boat ride to Boracay Port Area 1. Followed by another 20minutes land trip to Pearl of the Pacific Hotel, where we checked in for the duration of our stay. Our Bora experience started. tik tak tik tak...

We put down our luggages to the hotel room, freshen up and we headed straight to the shore. Inspecting the whole shoreline of Bora, we walked our way through "d'mall" and checked out the gimik arena. Bora being popular by its nightlife, we can't wait to experience it. Though weather is not that good, still we made the most out of it.

Since we are tired dur to the trip, we retired early to our hotel room and spent the night watching TV and planning what to do the following day to make our stay productive.

Nov. 26. Second day. Putting on our swimsuits, applying on sunblock for protection, last check on the mirror, we headed to the beach front and survey the place. Meeting people lounging in the shoreline. Enjoying a hearty breakfast provided by the hotel. And simply enjoying the sun, the sand and the sea. That's the life at Bora. Walking again along the seashore and observing the beach life. Had our hennas. Extending our exploration to "d' palengke" looking for some trinkets. It was an experience. Met a rottweiler, domestic pet of one of the local; named sally (i think), the dog was so nice and behave and cudly..hehe. Picture by the sand castle, pictures of other guests doing water sports...what a life! Dining and drinking at the Bamboo Lounge, they served the best Tequilla Sunrise and Vodka Tonic! and a very spicy sisig (yum yum)

Nov. 27. Third and Last day. Enjoying the beach for the last time. Playing around the sand and doing some sand castles (as if we know how to!) playing along the shore and taking a lot of pictures as in picture galore, making sure that we maxed out the allowed space of my digicam; ending with about 400 pictures.

As we packed our bags. We swore that we will be back by next year. The place is very relaxing. Very rejuvenating. Definitely I had a peace of mind. The kind of thing thatI've been longing for. That is why I'm really planning to go back there!

Boarding Cebu Pacific flight back to manila...back to reality na!
