Trip to Boracay

I just left Angeles City a few days ago for a little side trip to Boracay.
This tropical island has one of the most beautiful beaches to offer in all of the Philippines.

Got my ticket at the Seair office right here at SM mall in Angeles City. I couldn`t resist their promotional price around 6000 Pisos for a return ticket.

Flight to Caticlan went smooth, as far as one can use this term for this little bit ear-battering loud aircraft and we arrived pretty much on time after about one hour.

From Caticlan airport it`s only a short hop to the harbour where small boats are waiting to bring visitors to Boracay island.

Boracay`s beautiful White Beach is simply breathtaking. White sand, crystal-clear blue water and a real holiday feeling.

Unfortunately, Boracay is not what you would call a well-kept secret anymore. It has become a popular tourist spot, attracting hordes of tourists from all around the world.

If you want to stay in a nice hotel right on the beachfront, prepare to pay double of what a similar room would cost in Angeles City. I suggest you check out the smaller hotels a little bit away from the main beach. Very likely you will catch a bargain there.

Anyway, even with higher prices, Boracay is still the perfect getaway for a few days of sun-bathing and relaxing.
