A trip to Boracay Island

If you guys are wondering where have i dissapeared for the past two weeks, this is why.

Yes i was on a trip.

Welcome to Boracay, a tropical island surrounded by stunning white sand beaches about an hour flight from Manila, Phillipines.

Due to the fact that our country have just wiped out the entire Sulu clan in Sabah, some of my friends did adviced us to just abandon the plan.

But how could you resist the temptation of the island where Fish Leong have conducted her wedding?

If you really want me to point out the only dissapointment during the trip (apart from the tips-grabbing islander) it would be the transport and logistic.

To get to the island, we departed from Kuala Lumpur at 7am, and reached Boracay hotel at 12 Midnight. This is the summary of the our travel itinerary.

1. 7am flight from KL - Arriving Clark at 11am.
2. Next flight out from Clark (7pm) to Kalibo Airport (8pm) (The airport name sounds funny isnt it)
3. Approx 2 and half hour bus ride from Kalibo airport to the Jetty. (1030pm)
4. Half and hour boatg ride to Boracay.

Welcome to Boracay!

Anyway my advice to you is, if you want to travel to Boracay next time, you can actually take a direct flight from Clark to Boracay island straight! (Some airliner called Zest Air or Cebu Air).

But too bad we have booked the travel itinerary earlier, and cancelling it and rearrange the trip would be a definite pain in the ass.

To be honest i am more like a "beach kind of person" when come to holiday. I have always thought Phuket is fantastic.

But Boracay? It blew me away right from the first time i set my sight on the beach and the crystal clear water.

People used to say picture paints a thousand words.

So i painted a picture on myself first before embarking for island hopping activity.

So i will looked more macho without my shirt on.

Knowing that my mum will disown me just because of a tattoo, i did the fake one la.. as the locals called it "Henna Tattoing". Or so called "temporary tattoo" drawn on your skin which will fade off over time.

(FYI, the tatto is still visible until today)

I chose this design for almost 3000 Peso (RM20++). The price varies depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo design itself.

The complete article.

Psycologically, i felt like i could beat the craps out of five filipino guys at one go. Ha ha!.

So, the next activity, the most anticipated one, the island hopping and snorkelling!!

So, here's the thing. In Phuket, for one trip of island hopping may cost you around RM100++ per head.

But in Boracay, they charge you "per boat". One boat capable to carry up to between 6-10 passengers, and for our group, we only have to pay up to approx RM 180 per boat. Divided by six, so each of us only paid RM30 per head for this activity.

Super cheap right?

Few of my favourite shots during the activities.

When the beach boys goes ga-ga.

And started to take some "ala-hidustan" fighting scene on the beach.

The beach was so nice, until my friend also don't want to go home.

LOL.

I will update more on our activities in the next post, till then, stay tuned :)
