First Time in BORACAY

Finally, Lovey and I got the chance to go to Boracay last August 2011. We took Zest Air Manila to Kalibo promo fare, that's P2,400 round trip for two - we're on a budget. I heard so many negative reviews about Zest Air, but fortunately we didn't have any problems at all. It's a long trip from Kalibo - next time ill book for Caticlan- you have to take a van for 1 1/2 hours from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan Jetty Port cost P200.00/head. Then ride a boat to the island for P30 and P100 for terminal and environmental fee.. i think, but when you go home the fee would just be P 25.00/head.

Since we are on a budget, i've look for a very affordable accommodation and found B and B Resort Boracay. It's located along the main road, corner of the street in front of Crown Regency, 3-min walk to the white beach, its pretty at the center of everything if you don't mind a little walk. Rates for low season is P600/night for the fan rooms and P1000 for the aircon rooms. The rooms are pretty basic but i love the place, there's a what you call provincial atmosphere to it, from our side of the cottage its peaceful coz there is a side near the main road so you might here vehicles passing by.

Besides from strolling the beach (the beach is worth the trip specially during low season - no rains just wind), buying pasalubong and waiting for the sunset (which is beautiful at around 5 to 6 pm), we went to Mt. Luho where you can see all of the land of boracay which is a pretty spectacular site. We took a tricycle from our resort for P150 one way, we are accompanied by my friend and her hubby so we are four. You can let the tricycle wait for you so that's P300 round trip - we'll its pretty far. But on the way back we just walk on the more short route to station 1 - but goodness that's seems far also, my feet hurts but i am not really use to too much walking. At Mt. Luho you'll pay  a fee of P60/head, there's a mini zoo and the view at the top is worth it, it's very beautiful.

We did'nt get to try other activities but next time we'll try it. Yeah, there will be a next time. It's my first time to ride a plane and i love it. Our plane to Kalibo is kind of small so it's noisy and our flight is evening so i can't see anything but our flight to Manila is in the morning and the plane was better. When we landed on the domestic airport - i'm like "more,more". When you're up there  and you look at the clouds and islands, there's a feeling of bliss and being blessed, this is mother nature and this is we're we live in, this is what God gave us. And when the plane went into the clouds, i'm quite hoping that Harry Potter might pop in a broomstick haha.

That's my Boracay trip and i love it, i hope to come back soon. Thanks to ms bless and staff of B and B Resort.
