Blogs from Boracay, Philippines, Asia - page 6

Well, I don’t think this place still needs an introduction because it is the most popular Philippine destination in the World. Very well-known to Foreign Tourists that even Hollywood Stars visit this so-called Beach Capital of the Philippines and it is BORACAY. I’ve been to Boracay a lot of times during the lean months and I always try Parasailing, Nature Trekking, Jetski, Banana Boating, ATV, Aquanot and their famous Island Hopping. This place is seen by Filipinos as the “Las Vegas” version of the Philippines because it is a Beach filled with lots of Hotels, Restaurants and Bars. And it’s more alive at night than daytime. So people go here because of the all out nightlife party. But… For a Nature lover, Traveller and Adventurer like me? I wouldn’t prefer the nightlife version of BORACAY ... read more

This postcard shot was taken on an early morning walk to the souveneir shops. While my wife was busy looking at necklaces and bracelets to bring home to friends, this view caught my attention. I know I've already seen something similar to this somewhere but it was worth a shot. Good thing I brought my brother's camera along with me. -- http://peckergreen.multiply.com/... read more

This morning around 11:15 I went back to the dive center to ask about their dives for the day and who would be the dive masters. I settle on a dive leaving at noon for Camia's Reef, a wreck dive nearby. This dive went much better and I went with Jade and a German girl doing her Advanced certification and they were both respectful and mindful of their surroundings. We saw a lot of cool things there but it was a short dive so I’d like to get my nitrox cert I think. This was about 29 meters so we could only stay 35 minutes without the nitrox. I talked with Jade about Oliver from yesterday because he’s the head of the diving center and he said he’d talk to him about it, but again didn’t ... read more

This morning we woke up a little earlier than for our other flight because this time the maximum baggage allowed is only 10 kgs! I don't know how anyone can pack that lightly, but I think it’s because the planes they take to Caticlan are smaller than the others. Anyways, we needed to go to their cargo to send a bag full of our extra kilos, the cheaper option. We took a taxi, paid the 200, and weighed and reweighed our overweight bags until we had only 10 kilos each, sent the cargo, and walked to the terminal. The flight was very fast and didn’t even take an hour. They are in the process of building the airport building, so when we got off the tarmac we just waited by the side for our bags before ... read more

Had a late night last night. Went clubbing and didn't get back until around 3am. Today it's finally sunny. Since Friday it had been overcast. It was hot and humid. Mostly cloudy. The sun would come out 20 minutes at a time. It even rained a little bit. Today, knock on wood, has been hot and sunny. ISLAND HOPPING We went on a three hour island hopping tour yesterday. We went to Crystal Caves which was amazing. My friend had a chance to go snorkeling. ... read more
