Bora!

---

Well, what can I say? Bora is Bora - even when it was stormy! Stayed at Station 2 resort La Carmela, shopped for trinkets, learned to skimboard, played with local kids, took photos, sunbathed (if you can call it that), did all things Bora - braids and tats!

This is my second time in Bora, the first being nine years ago (I know it’s unforgivable for some but hey, I’ve been around the Philippines, seen beaches many people haven’t even heard about so cut me some slack) and it’s not much different. Still the same Bora vibe - beautiful, liberating, exhilarating - even when the waves are so high you can actually surf and even when there is no beach until 2pm when the tide ebbs. And the best thing about Bora? What happens in Bora, stays in Bora!
