Boracay the Third

The day before our flight to boracay we are chanting "rain, rain go away come again another week, josh and joy want to getaway" because the previous week has been raining almost everyday.



And the week before our planned vacation in boracay, the Philippines was visited by a strong typhoon that hit the province of Aklan so badly. Boracay is part of that province so when some friends heard that we are planning to go there they were discouraging us because in the news it was really devastated. But still we went, and we are glad that we did. When we arrived it was a bit cloudy and the tide is high and there was lots of tossed leaves and other remnants of the storm on the shore. But when it was about noon the tide receded and people started clearing the garbage out. And by afternoon it was already cleared.

We stayed in a boutique hotel named Zuzuni, it only has 4 rooms and the first floor is a Greek restaurant. Their rooms are nice and they have lots of freebies. They also have a nice spot by the beach which has several coconut trees that gives a nice shade. And also the staff were very courteous and so helpful, you don't need to ask them they will serve you (like they will give us beach towels when we are on the beach, and give us cold water even if we didn't ask for it). We are treated nicely here... so far better than the first resort we were in last December.

We decided to make our trip simple by not doing much.

The first thing we did was to go to Jona's and have shakes, they have the best shake in the island and you can choose from varieties of flavor.

" I'm so loving my banana choco peanut shake..." " hmmmm....how about banana choco peanut shake plus banana papaya shake..."

"yuck!!!!!!!"

"It doesn't sound that bad..."


"yeah, it tastes weird"


The next thing we did was to walk along the beautiful white beach. Then we stopped by Fridays Boracay ( the resort where we stayed during our honeymoon), it is located in the best part of boracay and it is so nice to just sit there and enjoy a cold drink.




Then another thing i love in boracay is the sunset. It is just so beautiful to watch...


The second day, Josh needs to spend time working... and i, as usual I acquired some rashes to nurse. I think i have developed some allergic reaction to the sea water or something in it because everytime i go into the water i will itch a lot and then i will have this inflammed rashes that will last for a week. Josh was firm that i can't go into the water this day and i just need to do things that won't require me in the water, so of course it won't stop me from having fun in the beach... We stayed by in the beach in a comfy beach chair and read a book, Josh does both working and reading alternately. There will be some vendors selling pearls and Josh let me enjoy haggling with vendors and shopping for some pearls.

Josh at work, not on a usual cubicle in the office though...
in the afternoon went kayaking. It was fun because the water is so calm and the water is shallow that we can stop over coral reefs and watch small fishes.

After kayaking we saw two dogs playing catch with their trainer.


Then we went strolling on the beach while we wait for the sunset.

Josh catch a small crab for me to...
...snack on. yummy!

after i decided that the little crab deserves to live a longer we decided to climb the rock that was in the other part of the beach, the tide was so low that the rock is accessible without swimming to go there.



We are trying to take picture together and not to fall at same time.

the sunset that day was really beautiful but unfortunately our camera run out of battery so this is the last picture we got that day... totally missed taking great photo of the sunset.


Our third day was really fun though Josh needs to work in the morning. While working i decided to have a my hair braided and also convinced josh to have his hair braided. Josh is very lenient in giving almost all my whims to play with his hairs.



We both feel and look weird though after we have our hair braided. We weren't able to pull it off well. But for the sake of remembrance we took pictures of how we loooked like...

We let the braid stay and just wear bandanas.










On our last night Josh need to work more so i left in the restaurant to work while tried to work on not spending too much shopping. I love bargains and i found several nice items for such a very low price. I bought Joshua a necklace, the pendant i choose can actually be separated into two so the lady selling the necklace said she can make the necklace into two for a price of one. That was really a good buy.. So we have a cool matching necklace...
