Boracay
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007We stayed at Fairways and Bluewater. It’s nice and sprawling but it’s far from the long beach. We got a 3-bedroom unit but there were only 4 of us so we had a lot of space to avoid each other. The bedrooms had a private bath, cable TV, and A/C. Bliss. The unit also has a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a balcony. We didn’t have a view of the ocean. Instead, the unit faced the golf course.
Cable TV in Aklan in so unfair. They have WOWOW and other interesting channels. Living in Metro Manila sucks because I’m such a tv-holic. I want my WOWOW back. Grrr.
I haven’t been back to Boracay for 7 years I think. So many things have changed there. They have D’Mall now. There’s even D’Talipapa. Then there are more resorts, the roads are better, the airport and the dock look decent now, etc. The prices have changed too. Used to be we can eat great seafood for cheap. The shops at D’Mall are expensive too. Presyong turista talaga. It’s just too bad that even us Manilenyos are also considered as turistas.
My sister told us to not come back to Manila unless we try the shakes at Jonah’s. Good advice from her. I totally loved the Banana Choco Peanut Shake. It’s so thick, it’s a challenge to sip. I asked the waitress if they have a branch in Manila but they don’t. It’s a Boracay exclusive. Bah.
I want to go back to Boracay someday but I prefer to go there with friends. Hanging out with the oldies just ain’t fun.
