Hello Earth! Too busy for the yesteryear few weeks together with this was the alone fourth dimension I was able to affect my blog. H5N1 continuation of the trip I had a calendar month ago, gauge where the itchy feet took me? To my isle domicile Boracay! 3days together with 2nights yet I receive got crossed out a few things from my bucket listing already!
Cebu Pacific - Cheapest Flights Ever!
How I got hither is some other story. It was random together with unplanned - I was inward Manila fixing a few documents for the trip going dorsum to Dubai together with was lucky to larn it done to grab the lastly flying to Kalibo (I idea it volition accept me few to a greater extent than days inward the city, whew!).
I booked through Cebu Pacific over the telephone together with got on the lastly flying from Manila to Kalibo at 5pm, I forgot the get upwards of the agent merely I'd similar to give thank yous her for arranging the trip for me. I got a one-half priced furnish ticket of what used to live Php 10,000.00 if you'll live flying from Caticlan going dorsum to Manila, ha!
I was on the isle at yesteryear 9pm, the trip from Kalibo to Caticlan port took ages amongst alone five passengers on board. I rode a coach arranged yesteryear Southwest Transport.
Boracay, hither comes problem *inserts evil smiling here*.
By the fourth dimension I arrived at the hotel (which is usually arranged yesteryear island besties recommended a newly opened eating theatre together with geez, I ever trust them when it comes to skillful food.
Los Indios Bravos Boracay
I was badly craving for seafood since I came domicile together with JIZAZ, my friends made the best alternative similar ever. They took me to Los Indios Bravos and found myself helpless over foodie goodness. We had Beer Battered Chicken Goujons (Crispy Chicken Tenders together with Sweet Chili Dip), together with Salt together with Pepper Beef (Double Cooked U.S.A. Angus Beef Riblets, Cinnamon Salt, Spiced Vinegar together with Steamed Rice) which are both best sellers merely what made my black is this:
Fruits de Mer - all the seafood I was craving for on this plate!!! Prawns, Smoked Salmon, Syster, Tuna Tataki, Smoked Taningue, Baby Octopus together with Mussels Preparations of Seafood, Condiments together with Sauces OHMYGAD. What made it to a greater extent than yumyum is their selection of alcoholic drinks - a pitcher of Sangria together with draft beer samples! Ayos!
And the black didn't cease hither because nosotros went to Exit Bar correct after. It was ane of the best places to hangout together with encounter the isle people. Endless dancing (although the music seemed to modify a chip based on my experience), inexpensive booze, involve I tell more?
Since my fourth dimension is really limited, I had the side yesteryear side twenty-four lx minutes catamenia all planned accordingly. Of course of didactics I paid my previous fellowship a visit. Probably the happiest role identify on footing where yous larn to run inward your bikinis together with tank tops.

Had a few walks at the beach front end together with was surprised to regard a lot of changes - novel establishments, refurbishing the erstwhile ones, etc. I also passed yesteryear Red Coconut, they late removed air conditioned set-up of Red Coco Cafe which is a chip overnice if yous actually desire to sense the isle atmosphere.

You powerfulness receive got seen this on my previous Boracay posts together with this volition ever live my happy place. Too bad the weather condition isn't that good, I would've tried swimming to the rafts again. Met a novel friend hither from Brazil, I promise he's doing ok. :)

When I was yet working inward Boracay island, I did a photoshoot inward ane of the villas at Mandala Spa together with Resort Villas. Seeing how beautiful the identify is together with how promising the Spa services are, I told myself that I'd live dorsum ane day, together with and thus I did.
"Boracay Bliss" is something that I volition never forget for a spa sense together with would similar to identify it on a dissever post. You powerfulness tell it's a chip pricey for a 3hour handling merely who am I to resist an sense from a spa that spells Eco-Conscious Elegance?

The Spa sense may non lastly merely planting a tree that comes amongst it volition sure as shooting serve it's role to serve together with protect woman rear nature.
The residue of Day two inward Boracay were spent over nutrient together with drinks - again. Visited together with tried the famous Kasbah of the isle serving arabic dishes. Was a chip disappointed though later having been exposed to the flavours of Arabian dishes. Their version of Mutabbal, Baba Ganoush, together with Tabouleh is waaay unlike together with tastes really commercial.
