Vivacious Boracay

sunny

White, talcum-fine beach, balmy weather, and warm, crystalline waters --- where else can you find it here in the Philippines?
BORACAY located at the northwestern tip of Panay in Western Visayas, indeed a part of the World's Top Beaches.

Anxiety + Excitement = my first plane ride!

DAY 1
When we arrived at Caticlan Airport, we directly rode a tricycle towards the jetty port for the 15 minute boat transfer going to the island of Boracay.

We took a rest for about 15 minutes and went to talipapa for the fresh catch seafood for lunch. It was indeed sumptuous!
Right after lunch, we started having FUN! We tried flyfish, which was totally scary...my goal that time was not to be thrown off and be dumped in the water.

And YES! I survived!

After the very stirring activity, we headed to the beach, strolled around and took pleasure in stepping on Bora's fine sand...

I don't really enjoy going out at night, but when you are in this island, you would never want to stay in your room. We went to Cocomangas and to Guilly's Island Bar where had some few drinks.

DAY 2
Waking up early is my thing! I woke everyone up and had a morning swim.

We wanted something new. We had henna and hair braided.

After lunch we had parawsailing (for Php300 good for 5 persons for 30mins) and we took some pics of Pacman's beach house. It was not totally finished though but it is awesome.

The next thing we tried was ATV - a four-wheel motor bikes that visitors can rent by the hour to explore the more rugged areas of the island and had it for Php 400 per person.

We then had a peak at Bora's highest point -- Mt. Luho, and it was very breathtaking.

We still then ended the day extra fun.

DAY 3
I insisted to have a morning walk along the beach with my hubby, had photo shoot and bought pasalubongs for our families. The rest of our friends went to the airport ahead since we had different flights. I want to savor the smell and the view of the place before I would leave.

Boracay is exactly a clear definition of LIFE + FUN!
