Puka Beach, snorkeling, and cliff diving in Boracay

Hello, Dear Sunday.

How are you all doing? Well aside from the fact that we all got our little rest time which is just enough to go through the next week, aren't we all happy we got to spend this day for ourselves? I am happy. lol it's not like I don't have the whole week for myself I am a bum for work's sake.

Anyway, join me in rekindling my second day trip to Boracay last April 6, 2014. Second day always wins for the best day *usually* since the first day is only a warm up and the last day is often just to waste the remaining time you have at that place. Anyhow!!! I kept confusing my subjects lol I'm sorry #writerproblems

Our second day mainly consisted of island hopping and bar hopping. Shall I say, the islands were all equally gorgeous, just not as gorgeous as those in Camiguin or Palawan but gorgeous enough to satisfy. The first stop was at Puka Beach. Sand is not as white or pristine as the main island but is a sure winner when it comes to tranquility and privacy. The water is a bit rough for swimming but the contrast of deep blue and turquoise is really inviting. Aileen and I plunged. Bet you would, too!

It was the perfect place where you can take pictures and nobody would be caught walking behind or something... There's enough space for everyone. Certainly not like the main island where you need to wait for a couple of minutes before you can take decent pictures without anybody jeopardizing the frame for you. Is it obvious that I loved Puka Beach a lot? Yes, I guess so.

We also had lunch there, which is the same with main island when it comes to pricing. Totally over board. Mind you, there's only one restaurant available so you practically don't have a choice. It's quite good if that makes it any better though.

After lunch, we went on with our next agenda which was snorkelling somewhere in the middle of the sea. I wasn't able to see that much fish or coral but I did enjoy the time spent swimming! It was good practice, this was my favorite among all three.

I'm okay with threading all day, really

My swimming buddy in Bora :D
And look at the main island just behind her.

Awesome snorkeling and threading. We then head to Magic Island for cliff diving. Disclaimer I was totally brave before I saw and experienced the balancing wood, really. It was the culprit!!! I so did chicken out. I AM SORRY TO FAIL YOU, GUYS.

Congratulations to Jenny for being able to do it.
Not just once and certainly not twice but thrice. (I blame the balancing wood.)

We went back just in time for sunset!!! And it is lovely as usual. One of the few things I love about Boracay. It may not be as perfect as Santorini's or Mykonos' but man, who cares? The fact that the colors mixes up so beautifully shouldn't be questioned! You shouldn't miss it, at least once in your life. The pictures never do it justice.

We had dinner after at this buffet restaurant. Can't tell you enough how much I love oysters and they had a lot of it that it was so close to heaven! I can practically eat it all day. Afterwards we had a little down time and pre-game at the hotel before we head out to go clubbing! Ended up at Epic that night, thankfully. Paid P300 for 2 free drinks and entrance. Certainly had a good time! I didn't end up drunk, too bad. Being not drunk makes me not dance with anyone at all. Thankful nonetheless because then I'd always remember what a fun night it was with my friends. Cheese!!!

Thank you for the photo, Kim.

Hit the sack at around 4am, was really really sleepy by then that a quick shower didn't even wake me up. It was a good Boracay party that I quite enjoyed! A little too much I think. Catch you again in my next entry! Of course, with the itinerary and estimation of expenses for all the days.

Happy travels!


Love,
