One Night In Boracay

Travelling unplanned is fun.

The white sand and the blue sky of the Island of Boracay.

That was friday afternoon when I decided to visit Boracay unplanned. It is a 5-hour van ride or a 6-hour bus ride from Iloilo Tagbak Terminal in Jaro, Iloilo City.

Right after work, I rushed to the terminal for the day's last trip van schedule. For about 200+ pesos, I had a zigzag road experience but it was really fun-filled! We left Iloilo at around 6pm and arrived in Aklan at around 10 in the evening. I road the pumped boat going to the Island. The water was calm and to my surprise, a lot of tourists were still around that time.

In the island, I immediately looked for an inn to stay and that was a real struggle since almost all hotels were fully booked. Luckily, I found a very cheap hotel located beach front so I didn't loose the opportunity for it was difficult to get one for an on the spot overnight stay.

What to expect in La Boracay?

A pumped boat ride awaits you. This is the main trasport system that will fetch you back and forth the Island and Aklan main land.

Enjoy the relaxing white sand and savor the breath-taking blue sea and sky.

Discover the fun the Island may offer.

Shops and various stuff are available around the island.

I enjoyed my Boracay experience and will surely go back very soon. If you're palnning to visit too, always keep this in mind... Nature is God's gift so we should take care of it. :)

May God bless you all.

Part 2 - Hidden Treasures of Antique: Malalison Island

One fine sunny Sunday morning turned into a memorable day for us - me, Yen, Jucee and Kevin. Wonderful sunny morning - best time to conquer the island. Against the light. What's important is the background. Hehe. :) The pump boat ride was fun and smooth sailing. Our trip was blessed for it did not rain, hassle free and what we felt was all excitement. The boat can be rented from 700+ or more and will assist you back and forth Culasi town. We brought some breakfast meals for our lunch and thanks to Kevin for that!

Today, people try and purchase street food for some reasons: It is sold for a reasonable price, it is flavorful, to experience an ethnic and authentic cuisines and some for a nostalgic experience.
