as i said in my earlier post, i took a mini-break and headed off to Boracay, a tiny island about 200 miles south of manila. although the rainy season has officially begun here in the Philippines, i took a gamble and prayed for sunny days.
the gamble and the prayers paid off because i was blessed with a little shower early in the morning and more than enough rays in the afternoon. i love walking around this tiny island because of the gorgeous seascape and the white powedry sand that never seems to get too hot. perfect for walking barefoot along the beach, i'd say.
what made the holiday even more fun was the beach side mani/pedi i got from one of the island's resident manicurists. such a luxury that cost me just 7USD! it was blissful and i now have dainty toenails to show for it.
the best part about this holiday was that all i did for four glorious days was wake up to go for a walk around the island, end up at our favorite spot (Zeppelin's, which served the yummiest chicken garden salad!)to lay and soak up the sun until i was red and sore enough to wish i put on more sunblock and then choose among the countless buffets and grilled seafood available by the beach! it was amazing.
oh, and yes, i took home a little souvenir from Boracay. i got a tattoo while i was there!
where's your next holiday?
Hehehe, our next one will be where you've just come from. Finally. We've always chosen Palawan over Boracay, but we figured we better go even just once. ;)
ReplyDeleteboracay is not the idyll it was ten years ago when i first started coming to the island but it still definitely has its charms! and you have to see the poi dancers! they are marvelous! my next stop is palawan. i've never been and i know its time has come :)
