Boat Trip

At 10 am we got picked up outside the hotel. Renz (or Lorenzo) at the hotel had arranged for his brother in law to take us on a boat trip around the island. His brother in law brought us down to boat station 1 at the beach. From there his brother took us out on his boat.

First stop was on Crystal island. Here we had a short walk from the beach to a cave were we could swim. After a cooling swim we continued our walk to another cave. The second cave could be entered by first wading through chest deep water and then crawl through a 10 meters long tunnel. We had another swim.

Then we had a walk back to the beach to get on the boat again. Then off to Crocodile island. Sounds scary, huh? But it is just the shape of it. It looks like a giant crocodile head in the water. We passed the island and anchored so that we could snorkel for a while. It was hard getting into the water since it was full of fishes everywhere. Some of them mistook me for fish food.

After we got tired from all the snorkeling we continued our boat trip to Puka-Shell beach. It was quite a long ride along the east side of the island. It was fun to watch.

We arrived at the Puka-Shell beach but entered the beach at the end. Far away from where we stayed earlier. We had something o drink and relaxed in the sand. Occasionally we went into the water to cool off. All along our boat crew stayed on the boat in the shadow. I believe that most Philippines think that we tourists are crazy. Because we stay in the hot sun when there is shadow available.

After spending an hour or so in the hot sun we entered the boat again and went back to White Sand beach. We thanked our boat crew and had a short walk from the boat station back to the Paradise Garden beach. It’s actually not our hotels beach, they just have a few sun chairs there and parasols. We relaxed and enjoyed our last day in Boracay.

Then we decided to go back to the pool at the hotel. I guess we wanted to enjoy all the things we have done in Boracay on our last day.

After spending time at the poolside we went back to our room and got ready for dinner. This last night we wanted to relive our first night so we went back to Aria again. We really like their food. We also wanted to say goodbye to all the friendly people there.
