Aquarian Adventure

Boracay is not a new place for me and for my friends, we've been here so many times but just recently in one of the rainy months (thank God, it was so sunny when we re-discover Boracay for five days), me, my dear friend Jairo and his hubby went to the best tropical island in the world to celebrate Jairo's birthday and for me it's my much needed vacay. When I got there, I noticed that there are a lot of new restos, cafes and bars lining up in the long stretch of that purest and whitest sand. It was July but it feels like summer for it's a bit crowded.

Our first night post dinner in Cocomangas bar in Station1 and about to enjoy the infamous illusion shaker mixed drink

In Summer Place, lots of exotics and foreigners on this bar

Inside Epic Bar- the interior is so nice, it's mostly in white. During our visit, Epic bar offers "buy one take one" on their beers and standard cocktails

Our Day 2 officially starts with this:

At Jonah's, I had vanilla milkshake, I always visit Jonah's everytime I'm in Boracay

Aside from the nightlife, warm people, relaxing sound of the seawaves, what I truly love and admire in Boracay is it's whitest and powdery sand, so perfect!

The following days and nights were typically the same, enjoying our food especially in the "dampa" area and the eat-all-you can in a Mongolian restaurant and drinking alcohol til dawn in the seashores (sorry, no photos taken). The most exciting part of this trip was exploring the other side of the island through island hopping and some snorkeling. We went to the crocodile island, then snorkeling where you have to pay 20 pesos (so cheap and that includes free gaggles) and you would see the wonders of the underworld then last stop is Puka beach where the sand is made of crashed "puka" shells (from the local rom-com flick). Boracay is really a haven for some RnR and a dose of party without breaking your bank! We would definitely come back, hopefully we make it this summer 2012.
