SoulFulVentures: Boracay Island Philippines

Finally after six months of waiting I made a touchdown to Iloilo and Boracay Island. Booked a flight from Davao City to Iloilo City last February 2011 under 25peso Fare promo of Cebu Pacific. Got the cheapest deal so far for 250 pesos back and forth.

Travel plan was to have a taste of the famous Boracay Island for 2 days from Iloilo. So basically I was not able to roam around Iloilo.

Touchdown:

Almost 1 hour travel time from Davao City International Airport to Iloilo Airport.

Almost 5 hours land travel from Iloilo Airport to Caticlan.

Since I don't drink and night life was never a life for me. I enjoyed the day scenery of Bora more than its night moonlight breeze.

This is Boracay during Day and I love it...The shining shimmering white sand, blue sky, blue-green water from afar, fresh sea air and the sun's hotness...It is worth visiting!
