After spending a week in Manila, I decided it was definitely necessary to check out another part of the Philippines ... and what better place for that than legendary Boracay?
My friend decided to join me for the weekend, so we took off for paradise.
Boracay is truly an oasis. It's exactly what you picture ... white sand beaches, clear blue water, cloudless skies. What made it even better was that our hotel was absolutely perfect. The room was nothing special (but really, who spends much time in their room anyways?) but the rest of the place was perfect. It had maybe 15 rooms, and was run by this hilarious Australian guy and his family. Downstairs there was a small open-air bar and restaurant that spilled onto the beach, so you could eat with your feet in the sand. We spent many evenings on the beach, drink in hand, watching the sunset. Ideal.
A bit down the beach, it turns into spring break. There are beachfront restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping etc. It's fun to walk down and check out the craziness, but I'm glad we stayed at the quieter end of the beach.
