My island getaway in Borcay Island, Philippines.
My island getaway in the beautiful emerald island of Boracay, Aklan, Philippines was indeed an escape to the sedentary and mundane life in the city. There are hundreds or thousands of reasons to be proud of the 7,707 islands of the Philippines and Boracay island would be one of them. It’s November 30 and cool breeze of Christmas is approaching, though it’s cool and sometimes rainy, the humidity is still on high. I have decided to celebrate my son’s 6th birthday on the beach, and Boracay island would be the first on my list. It’s Nov. 29th when I first set my eyes to the Emerald green water of the beach, it was indeed a great experience. Aside from the panoramic view of the beach and the sea, the locals of the island are really friendly and accommodating. Even they speak their regional language, they still able to communicate with the command of the English language. The locals would honestly tell you the best places that you can visit and the best food that you can taste. We have stayed in a guest house with a garden environment. The host of the hostel kuya Joel and its workers ate Perla and a young lass are really friendly and accommodating. They regard their guests as friends. I have tried a few local dishes in the island, I like the buffet meal of the Astoria Boracay Hotel, it’s indeed a satisfying meal we had. Aside from lying lazily on the beach and have some tanning, you can also get the most of your island experience with the day –tour activities such as island hopping, scuba diving, helmet diving, snorkelling, paragliding, and a lot of fun filled water activities. In the evening Boracay has a lot of night out activities such as bar hopping, listening to acoustic music, having candle -lit dinner along the seashore and many more. So, to all readers of this entry I invite you to visit the wonderful Borcay island in the Philippines.
