5-day tour with mission in Cebu/Mint (1)

Departure from the Guangzhou DAY1, Charter flights by China Southern Airlines (16: 30/19: 30) fly Cebu. Aircraft are no.319 or small machine 320, from time to time encounter airflow, thus all the turbulence to Cebu's Mactan airport. Immigrants to fill in immigration card, the card has two, divided into immigration and exit with the exit with the exit, go to pay customs (because many people in the regiment are not English, so the guide in the morning to help you fill out our group tour guide really good). Although the airport is very small, but the speed is slow to cross the border, to go out on the left is a taxi stand at the door also has several pieces of VAN Lanke. Put down your luggage at the hotel, we went to eat, Cebu taxi is a table of 30P, we arrived at the destination, 42P, to retrieve only the drivers 100P 50P, thought it was a local only accept integer, the rest of the tips to drivers, but then listen to the other party that their money is looking for, I know that the driver is not kind. DAY2, breakfast, and 1 number head sat OCEANJEt boat to Mint Island, a building is air-conditioned cabins, second floor, a small part of the business class, the rest are without air conditioning. Personal view is that if you take a morning boat, sitting without air conditioning is very good, cheap, and you can see the scenery along the way, blowing sea breeze, but because we are a 9: 30, when the Sun is very big, like the chairs are hot hot, not good to sit, you can only stand in the wind blows above, and then return to the following continue to blow air conditioning. In the Mint of Terminal has a visitor center, there are a few Hotel counter, there is also a service information desk, it can be to free Mint map. We like to drink blood for UNITA Memorial, before doing information that side of the glasses monkey souvenirs is cheaper, so your car is running to buy souvenirs, 100P/5 monkey Keyring, 100P/4 monkeys magnets. And the use made of coral, for the ancient Church, the Church is not open to the public at noon, just look at the outside. At midday in the Krobo River Cruise lunch, lunch, Luo Bo River also have nothing to swim in, if the proposed tours can be ignored here. After lunch, I'm really looking forward to glasses monkey Center (unfortunately expect greater, disappointed also bigger), here is a few little monkey captive to let people see that there is a specialized people photograph (estimated a Trina shines down, it probably lives near the truth), photograph 100P/person (back, only to find our team to accompany really black, only other mission photograph 20P/person, he told us that 100P/person), I just think that a few little monkey really full of poor, the regiment was also an aunt because shooting monkey face no towards her and kept going to the cause of the monkeys, quality, quality. Read the monkey on the chocolate hills, mountains and souvenirs are sold, the price is too expensive, 100P/3 monkey Keyring, clothes are also more expensive. Read the chocolate mountains went to dinner and a night view of fireflies, and sat on the Board to turn all the lights out, night, boat sailing, boat slowly fu flashlight suddenly hit into a tree, well…you whole tree flashing, Firefly, Guangzhou for years has seen it all, pretty good, although only half an hour, but this really recommended. Read the Firefly took us to the PANGLAO ISLAND NAtURE RESORt & SPA Hotel. Live is the garden view room, the room was large, outdoor also has a private small Jacuzzi, beauty, feel a little still worthy of the tour. Looking forward to tomorrow's sea.

Shanghai airport duty free shop closes at 11: 30, only cursory's stroll down, pick the plan you want to buy the products of CCP Landai. Prior to that plane was delayed, you can only play games to kill time until 1 point 10 minutes before take-off aircraft. 3 and a half hours after arriving at Manila airport later, go to the domestic flights area for Manila to Cebu, 5J 561 0635/0745 submitted passport and print ticket vouchers for smooth running related procedures, also the tax paid 200P.

Also there is 1 hour away from take-off, take the time we were just going to fill their empty stomach, the first meal of the Philippines. Dining area at the Airport (4, 5 optional) chose a Chinese restaurant, not too rich all basic is point noodle soup (140P), other varieties from 60P ~ 140P, first felt the low prices in the Philippines. 8: 00 arrival at the airport prior to Cebu Cebu pier of the boats have done a survey, total 2 Pier 3 shipping companies, namely: Ocean Jet (http://www.oceanjet.net/): No. 1 (Pier 1) Super Cat (http://www.supercat.com.ph/): No. 4 (Pier 4) Weesam Express (http://www.weesamexpress.com/): No. 4 (Pier 4) taking into account the 4 numbers head choose up, we'll go straight to the Pier4. From the air to terminals, although prior knowledge of playing table most cost-effective, but because we are 5 individual does not know whether you can take the local situation well prepared for 2 cars. Out of the gate, turn right at the airport Cebu is a taxi waiting area, the first counter is a yellow sign, table of packaged price 395P a car, look at our five individuals that want to share two cheaper so you can later 2 600P, I saw the company followed by a white flag counter, the past and then asked, aiming for 5 people, a car 400P. Note: I actually checked in advance on the Internet, but because the associated price free information line, sporadic fragments are just let me know about that is said about 250P does not want to waste time on this post, no excessive care. A taxi ride for half an hour arrival Terminal 4, to Express window purchase Weesam quite smoothly, and buy tickets for the 9 points. Cebu (CEBU)-Mint Island (tAGBILARAN) three shifts a day, 9: 00/14: 00/18: 30 500P (same-day round trip), 600P (3 days round trip), 700P (7 days back and forth) tickets are bought to another window and then pay ANtI-FIXER CAMPAIGN, taxes and fees, a 25P/start was not found, is one of the big guns with Philippine soldiers took us past. The boat is a bit late, until around 9 in the moment, waiting hall and sailing boats are quite clean, probably because it is not a season, the vessel probably 7, 8% full. Boat driving nearly 2 hours to arrive at the Mint of tAGBILARAN, out of the Terminal there are a lot of private drivers calling car, picked one from offer to 400P 600P, from Pier to our destination ALONA BEACH. Drivers very long-winded, strongly recommended accommodation with us, said many a lot cheaper, even though we had set in advance, but drivers enthusiastic recommendation or decision to follow him to look at, notWell then go as planned, the first line of the Sea also 2000P one night, but there is only one big bed room, we are unable to live 5 individuals, the second very cheap 2000P is between 4 room, but a humble people, save it down is a good choice, from ALONA BEACH beach walking 3 minutes. We all feel that since it would not be too hurt themselves, but also to stay 3 days, or even better, so that the results of the driver is not ready to face the cold down right away, we hurried solve the billing himself, he sent. The driver had we sent to the original Korea White House near Charlotte dive resort, as a predetermined errors, wrong hotel, White House only one room, we had to find it again. Korea White House in ALONA BEACH in far left, leaving 3 personal look at the luggage, I and my fellow FF Battlefront to find the hotel, I was walking along the beach, because a lot of home is not set, normal standard room price basic in 2000P ~ 3500P, individual scale bigger hotel there's a better room, of course, with the rise in the price. Finally select the Bohol Divers lodge & Resort, next door to the White House, is out of the White House at first, I didn't expect a big circle ten years finally chose initially, nowhere man ... Bohol Divers lodge & Resort room rate from 1600P — 9000P, we look at three of the rooms have a room, 1600P normal twin room, superior room of villa 2500P (no hot water), the hotel main building 2700P senior housing (hot water), the hotel has a beach bar, swimming pool, meet our requirements, room set decoration quite satisfactory, clean and tidy, the price is very reasonable (this reasonable in other hotels I've been looking at the positive conclusion at a later time). We chose a 2500P of villa superior room (open sliding door you can see the sea, next to the swimming pool), one of the main 2700P senior housing, and finally because we stay 3 nights also agreed to hit 9%. Note: the hotel room in principle 2 person occupancy standards and a person to pay the costs, if 300P increase mattress again to pay 200P. From the beginning has been in the early morning, noon and finally settle down, everyone in the room rest after lunch, departure from the left to the right stroll, blue sky, blue sea, white sand and it's good for thought out eat barbecue evening, therefore in the rightmost restaurant yourself eating, point the package (gaijiaofan), the basic tastes 200P around, all kinds of fresh squeezed fruit juices, ice and sand 60P — 100P, Cola, 3, 40P. 7 p.m. to clock we have flown, ALONA BEACH there are many seafood barbeque restaurant, similar to a domestic seafood stall, choose seafood that reprocessing. Local seafood species is not much, no legendary lobster, mainly various kinds of fish, sea shrimp, squid, crab and other beef, pork class. We dine in the restaurant tonight is a Pyramid, although there are many choices, but this looks more species. Location arrangements on the beach, it feels really ... menu 1, LAPU LAPU steamed, baked in the head and tail (LAPU LAPU online has said is the domestic garoupa fish, although the look is really like, but non-professionals, we also cannot be verified), 1 4, 5 kg weight of fish, garoupa 1300P about 200 Yuan. After identification, steamed with delicious roast than; 2, fried prawns. Should be monodon shrimp or prawns, known as the 5 only, big, 400P, taste great, especially the sauce, and finally get to the next meal tastes; 3, shellfish and seafood soup 200P, about 7, 8 a, with Chinese cabbage, cooked, the taste is very tasty, but always remember to give little drop point salt or a salt; 4, charcoal grilled beef 150P a bunch, beef flavor concentrated, BBQ, sweet; 5, Philippines sausage 100P. This barbecue to taste good, very good with rice. 6. pork 80P piece, normally the size of large, Peel, baked out skin is chewing, meat is relatively dry and insurgents. Note: you must not use the seafood grilled processed, all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs and snails, potato, pepper, beef, pork, squid, etc, are only or conspiracy calculation, there is no need to worry about being cheated out of balance. BBQ/barbecue Gril (single-sided grilled) steamed steaming, boiling of Boiled fried fries are next to the band singing, blowing sea breeze eating barbecue listening to music, that anyhow ... August 19 Mint Island Tour had a half natural, hotel restaurant eat good breakfast 10 points more before departure. Hotel breakfast at gourmet 150P, French 150P, phenanthrene-100P three, American and French bread poached egg and Bacon, coffee and fruit or fruit juice, Philippines-style staple bread into the rice meal before coffee and postprandial juice. In ALONA BEACH stroll along the way, when you are asked if you want to make the trip packages ship, so we did not set well in advance. Followed by a more pleasing talked about prices of locals, tour attractions like fixed packages, to do a simple confirmation, 2000P packs a 7 seater car. Travel content 1, League performance record read Tablet lood Compact (sculpture). In memory of Spain and the Philippines signed Mint 1565, peace treaties. A viewing platform, the scenery is also good, a little over Pats photos. 2, Luo Bo Church (Loboc Church) listen to the choir (famous Luo Bo children's choir). We do not have to go outside the Church, took some photos at will. If the stroke should be allowed to tour the "mint" set at Sunday, because every Sunday morning at 7: 30-8: 30, world-renowned Luo Bo children's choir at the Krobo Church (Loboc church) choir, listen to them sing without having to understand the lyrics, the pure musical is sufficient toLet people enjoy. 3, glasses monkey (tarsius Monkey). Drive past a point, the driver said that there was a snake we didn't see, who knows when we want to end what you didn't see monkeys, knew the snake with the monkey is the same attractions, our regret Ah ... 4, chocolate hills (chocolate Hills). Ride broom photography is essentially each visitor will take action, but because of the mountain sides have acrophobia in we give up on their own holding the camera around the Pats. Since the autumn colors unchanged, green Habitat looks nothing like chocolate, huh, huh. Mountain rest area of iced coconut juice, coconut, mango popsicles and ice 15P to 40P, mountain lookout one down here will be very interesting. 5, Luo Bo River (Loboc River). There is a buffet on board, in sing singer. While still an indigenous tribe, about tribes of dock docked in 20 minutes or so, men dressed in uniforms and dancing, tips are voluntary contributions, how much they are willing to give. Swim River + buffet 300P/person, lunch cruise River + 1.5 hours. 6, tropical forest such as we are one of spots, is passing through a section on each side of the road is the towering trees, tourists will be stopped to take some photos. 7, bee farm didn't go 8, Butterfly Valley passing didn't go, many butterflies, we are not too happy to not go in. 9, cable bridge passing didn't go, build in cable bridge on the River, a simple one to one to two road, a man with 10P price doesn't matter, is fear. The entire trip from 11-18 points, but didn't see the monkey's regret, the other are also good. We at the fork in the road (BPI bank signs Department), get off, is the most prosperous areas. Here is a small supermarket, which you can buy all kinds of beverage, food and daily necessities, price or even lower than domestic. BPI signs leading to the beach opposite the road junctions, a bakery, cheap, few P will be able to buy, our second day at sea purchasing several. According to the strategy tip also bakeries stand next to buy only roast chicken, just off the shelf is taste delicious, a return to the hotel 160P rest after more than 8 points out again, or BBQ dinner, meals to restaurant pizza at Hayahay, unique hippocampus signs. Unlike a day menu is added as follows: 1, point a big crab, 1KG 1400P, Curry crab meat cooked, very full. 2, or grilled beef, 350P2 conspiracy, although expensive than some of the Pyramid, but beef more blocks, which also had Bacon asparagus roll clamp, taste better. 3, steamed vegetables, 160P, QingQing stomach, can't always big meat and fish. On the way in to dinner encounters a handsome ship the next day's sailing boat given, pack a boat 1300P, with ship stressed if big ship, large boats boat looks a lot worse. Normal price is 1200P ~ 1500P 20 August between to sea (see dolphins-Balicasag Island snorkeling-VIRGIN Beach) at dolphins to see dolphins we set off at 6 points, the ship did not deceive us, is a ship can seat 8 people or so big crab boat (on both sides of the ship are the same as xiejiao stand), and praise one! with tuk tuk tuk motor noise boat line half an hour or so to a captive hunting dolphins sea surrounding many vessels, everyone was staring at the sea, it really can see dolphins team undulating dorsal fin, is in the place to go shopping with to follow, we spent about half an hour more, seen in 4 or 5 times just go to the next point. Balicasag Snockling Island snorkeling Barry Casa island big fault snorkeling, superlative craftsmanship like 3000-foot drop to the sea in the world. The island, along the beach of a circle is broken into chunks of the region, the ship to a fixed point of reception, or partnerships or family relations. Provide catering, selling some simple jewelry, snorkeling services (equipment + sea) 6 o'clock in the morning everyone did not eat breakfast, decided to go snorkeling after dinner, the obvious difference that embodies the breakfast sandwich to 250P Philippines-a, opposite the hotel to humble many, the most obvious is the meal of fresh squeezed juice turned guozhen snorkeling to an additional fee. Mask 200P/Deputy (goggles + breathing tube); rubber shoes 100P/dual (avoid snorkeling at the coral reef to step on foot); to snorkeling area also designated the boat (2 people + ship 1 person), 200P/person; a life jacket available free of charge. Finally we talk about a 400P, 2 boat trip. Boatman in departure before we use the equipment, also always accompany snorkeling around us, also caught starfish gave us. Snorkeling is really great, I can't swim that can dry the ducks through equipment body floating in sea head sank into the sea, looking at the harbour there are a variety of colorful fish and coral forms vary, the mood is that Joseph was ecstatic. When the fisherman pull my hand came to Barry Casa island big fault, when that is beyond the immense blue show in front of me, I feel that shock that fear, quickly called small sailor take me away. Transparent and deep blue clear contrast, the obvious faults, the contrast of the amazing .... While snorkeling is floating in the sea, but more, also very tiring, we probably played 1 hour later returned. VIRGIN Island is a sight to see the panorama of the island, Afar beach as one line into the depths of the sea, very beautiful. Boat just docked there came many hawkers peddle, fresh sea urchin and whelk, jewellery, mango, coconut, peer delicious seafood, first 100P buy a 2 fresh sea urchin, was cut out with a spoon scraping on hand to eat that taste good, I can't stand. When we continue to buy when the price plummeted, estimated at we are able to eat the small profits but quick turnover, 100P can buy 4 sea urchins or 4 conch, conch is the snail meat are pulled out in the sea wash vegetables in vinegar and so eat, eat the woman really terrible, haha! VIRGIN Island does not have a close look pretty, though the sea crystal clear however long too much algae, so that it does not have a crystal-clear beautyThe top burning we spent half an hour walking around in a circle that complete browsing. 3 pm to Bell returned to the hotel (in fact, the package ships a day if you want some places more play ship is no problem). We take a bath in a bath swimming swimming sleeping bed, my laziness is, of course, choose to sleep now. 2 companions went to the beach massage, one person, 300P lying on the beach (massage therapist will advance paved a bed sheet), the massage therapist will have company, masseuse three a group of five groups of wearing the uniform uniforms. In the evening to get to the hotel later in the street stroll (should be parallel with the beach), in roadside barbecue stalls to eat in the Philippines the cheapest meal, a chicken, a chicken wings, chicken breasts skeleton 2 blocks, 4 saury taste of small fish, a bowl of rice, 2 bottles of Coke, Jane bottled or above only 180P total. Also found along a lot of restaurants, but the second day, leaving no time to enjoy. Summary: Mint Islands suitable for 4 days, 3 days always is a little more words, the rightmost hotel star rating we have no time to explore. Then have the chance I will go ...

Trip to Philippines

Finally got to start the day. And past out of travel, this time a little restless heart more and worry that maybe is just occurred Philippines hostage, uneasiness to local law and order, perhaps because you want to take a cheap air small plane do transnational journey. Since early morning flights is less of a quiet, Pudong airport departure duty-free shops close early. The plane is very small, it is hard to imagine this above take more than three hours. Maybe it was a long time on the flight upset, I basically on an airplane is very difficult to sleep, try it. Although aviation is cheap, but the pilot's level is good, much better than China Eastern Airlines, flying very stable, also much weather help. Haha. Manila airport is the most humble of national capital airport, many places not decorated, shops. Airport as a State of the window to see this broken window, you can feel this country also like. Turnaround time waiting still can, 1 hour after flying into a more humble airport--Mint Island Airport. The airport is some years ago of Yichang airport but also humble, aircraft airplane take two steps out of the airport, looked just plane, you really don't. Island attractions tour of long-term Charter price is not expensive, and only 2500 Philippine pesos, roughly equivalent to $ 400, but this car and driver, the need to accompany us probably around 5 hours. In fact, attractions in a go, in which the Baroque Jesuit mission church and eyes monkey is most worth to. Baroque Jesuit mission church is the island's oldest church, is the Philippines second oldest church, the then occupation person established in the Philippines, Spain leave today already have hundreds of years. Long term weathering and wear that makes the church interior walls, dark, dank, feel somewhat sad. It is funny monkey eyes. This is better than the Palm also small Monkey has a long tail. This monkey is a little like koalas, Australia day like drunk, lie on the branches, deeply asleep, and occasionally open our eyes, God looked at you. Eyes quite big, almost half of the total face, at first glance feeling less like Earth's creatures, it is said that this animal is the prototype of Et, looks cute. Haha. Live hotel not too good, but just by the sea, as is comfortable. Here the water is salty, rushed out of the coffee is also a very strong savory, and no way to make coffee mate dissolve, but with pure water to brew. Hotel room, in the middle there is a small swimming pool, next to the door of my room is a large terrace, BBQ or in the evening take a look at sunset, it is very enjoyable. Hotel security was with guns, maybe here and order not too well, but there are reports that, although the Philippines claim to be a window on Asian democracy, but it's the degree of corruption and the degree of polarization is the leader in Asia. To Mint island's main purpose should be said that there are three, one is a look at the dolphins, the second is snorkeling, the third is to see Virgin island. These programs are on the second day. See dolphins need very early departure, about 6 o'clock is on board. We pack a crab boat in narrow boat tied up on both sides of the a model similar to the wings, this is similar to wings of things are primarily intended to maintain the balance. And we set off for many years this travel tourists, many of the crab boat all together to dolphins spotted sea, the sea away from the hotel approximately half an hour trip. See dolphins also need to see their own luck, because Dolphin is taking advantage of the morning sun is not out of time, to the sea for ventilation, turning it over. Seasoned sailor very far to see dolphins, sea crab with Chung. Our luck still can, finally saw some, they are gonggar, slightly to the back or the tail out of the water. Snorkeling is another significant feature here, because there are strange sea cliff. We bring the snorkeling tool, but forgot to bring shoes, here's the fishermen earn 500 Philippine pesos and 2 Philippine pesos as local fishermen give you protection costs because there is no lifeguard here. Seawater is really clear, but there are many sea and the coral reefs, so put on your shoes are a must, even so, my legs seawater being scratched the coral, blood flow, thanks to the vicinity of bloodthirsty animals such as sharks, or also very dangerous. There is a lot of fish, because there are underwater Cliff's sake, water depth from 1 m to a few hundred metres overnight deepens, so here are more of the fish heads, there are larger fish, etc., should be clowns that than I am in the great barrier reef or elsewhere have ever seen a lot more, but you can feed bread, small snacks, fish are intensely Chung over lots, and the scene is also very spectacular. Day trip and a Virgin island is a must to go to the island by sea are special, in need of a sailor in the way ahead, because here the water is shallow, and dissatisfaction with the rocks, even the draught of a discussion of the crab boat nor toes, people must be used through the waterway to wear in the past. Virgin Island beach is very long, very white, because the high tide, the island will be dropped into the sea, shuimanjinshan, but every day at low tide, exposing the long white sand beach. Here tourists is not too little, because here is far away from the main island, and there is no permanent population, even the birds are not many more serenity and harmony. The water time takes about 3 hours or so, because these sailors afternoon go deep sea fishing, until the early morning came back to subsidize home because the Philippines does not practice family planning policy, the home of a child or siblings are many, so home bigger kids need it do a few job to feed the whole family. But God was giving them a lot of wealth, although not large, but rich, fruit, seafood and food, modernization of things, but will not be hungry. The morning ready to check-out, because today is going to Cebu. The second is the Philippines CebuBig city, but also from the Mint Island past needs about 1 hour boat ride. Mint Island to Cebu's boat is more, the basic one in 500 pesos. A bit ahead of us a little to the Terminal, because you also need to Check in, you can find earlier to a better seat. Surprisingly the Philippines to receive departure tax, although the amount is not very high, but it also let people down here. Into the waiting room, there are several similar Red Hat people came, pointed our trolley case, original boat ride this can only be one person carrying a bag, trolley cases is the need for shipping, of course, this also has to be charged an additional fee. Rely on, here is the flower water, just a little bit of water in rivers, narrow point because costs are not very high. Boat feeling can also, speed is fast. There are several ferry companies, there are a variety of boats and catamarans. We chose is called Oceanjet. Hotel leave Cebu Pier about 30 minutes, one on either side of the road feel Cebu is quite old, nor many pedestrians, some feel, although the decline is the second largest city, but I feel it is our second-tier cities or third-tier cities such as. Most of the bus is not Windows, but in fact it cannot be regarded as the bus, can only be regarded as a kind of similar Changhe passenger car. See Manila Hong Kong Police rescue hostages performance can feel, Philippine police usually sure rarely encounter a glass of culprits hijacked the coach car. The hotel is quite good, but a door off the world, the decline of the dogs outside the door and the door of the rich and luxurious formed a strong contrast. Gate security on its guests happy, on entering the hotel must be produced before the check-in hotel reservation form. The hotel was great, has its own beach, three swimming pools, a large number of rooms, several restaurants and a massage Centre. More specifically, this hotel has a small shark pool, pool keeps some small sharks, daily afternoon there feeding performance. We wait for the feeding time, no see feeding performance, estimated to be put up in hotel, but the hotel's Bar then launched a free tasting cocktail of activities, this is also good, better than white, and so better. Haha. The hotel's Beach is also very good, the last day we go here. In the hotel's swimming pool swim swimming or snorkeling at the edge of the beach and the Sun on the beach, very enjoyable, and then in the hotel's restaurant is good to eat a good meal. This massage is very good, is the price yangui, well, out of a total cost, would like to open points. Haha. The Philippines in General is very worthwhile, although aircraft small, others are very good. Overall, the Philippine scenery in East Asia, fairly well, overall consumption level is not high, accommodation, taxis, tickets, etc. than others to buy some, due to the long-term effects of United States persons, locals in English generally okay, even fishermen or the taxi driver can understand what you are saying or land charges more reasonable, especially the inhabitants of the island, some relative or comparison and simple, if you give some additional tips, they will be very happy. Local cuisine is here for everyone to taste. Here's a fresh seafood, and the price is very cheap, just compare the single way of cooking, most are grilled or boiled, if Thailand Curry to do so, some more tasty flavor. Fish and chips are relatively common, taste very good, and the price is very cheap. Imagine, seafood soup + a bottle of beer, ice in some fresh sea breeze on the beach, watching the sunset series, listen to the waves lapping sound of the beach, without worldly things make you upset, it is meet, Ah, maybe heaven was also me...

Gentle long beach I.

Gentle long beach I.

Go to one place, leaving memory not only its scenery, but rather a feeling ... ...

As early as the Spring Festival, I plan to go to the "labor day", a trip to the Maldives experience again the immortal who lives like women.

But near the may day, the destination has turned into a long beach I., first, because my clubs a few friends, on the one hand, and the warm feel to Maldives time is too short, the effort is spent on the road, on my FB-tour, seems a bit not affordable.

Long Beach I. is located on a small island in the Philippines, I know that the Philippines is also limited to the Filipino and Philippine singer, but do not know it has been hailed as one of the four famous beaches in the world of long beach I..

Direct flights from Chengdu starting capital of Manila in the Philippines in only two and a half hours, the equivalent of flying from Chengdu, Beijing time. The road is not far away, but unfortunately there is no beauty, Philippine Airlines stewardess overall conditions less than the Chinese air hostesses are available. But let the gratifying that the Philippines is an English-language countries, my point bad speaking, from the beginning to the stewardess to blanket, it entered a pleasant scene-practice.

First look at the long beach I.

Back from Manila to long beach I., land, sea and air a one less, of course, this also firmed up I find beauty in confidence, as is customary, the exquisite scenery is a bit isolated.

We at 4 o'clock, 5 points over the proceeding from the hotel, first spent 30 minutes to fly to Kari wave, then by bus in the rugged countryside trail in the Philippines has 2 hours on a bumpy, finally saw an infinity of the sea. Is black and white sea, the Sun is like fire, let me a little bit of beautiful landscapes, fantasy cytoreductive. So depressing that we had to take a 15-minute crab boat (a sort of resembling the crab's long beach I. characteristics of the boat) in order to arrive at the destination – is located in the North of long beach I. tulipano Room Club.

The crab boat into the sea, along a Firebird, in an instant they blew cool tropical to our community, the color of the sea as if we feel like start gradually clear and bright.

On a shipyard did their sense of time, long beach I. quietly slip into my eyes. Long Island slowly tile on the sea, tall coconut trees swaying gently in the island, Green Island is dark green, and around the small islands of the sea water has turned from blue emerald green, a structured Green World independent of the sea. Our small boat from the little island closer when seawater from emerald green and become a silver, carefully look at the original due to seawater too transparent, Harbour Beach reflects sunlight effect. We are focussing on the beautiful sea, the crab boat, and I'm excited to jump ship to, stop to see the sea and the beach is on a different landscape: the whole world is not only the shape, color, had only seen in postcards on the bright, true and strong in my mind.

To me, enjoy the scenery, it is important to establish in good health and good spirits, otherwise the beauty of the scenery, as a piece of cake, a full sleep by moving.

Therefore, on the beach for a moment, the emotion I'm ready to go with us on a lunch. While dining in Carupano, outdoor restaurant, sea breeze wafting blows, doesn't feel very hot bearing, but there's a smidgeon of Carupano absolutely precisely, after I eat to the Philippines to the most authentic Chinese cuisine. After sending of desserts is similar to domestic honey cake, but also some special taste, by the ladies, especially those I, at ate three. Hunger a vanishing, got up at once, I hurried back to the room sit waiting for long beach I. landscape in the most — the arrival of the sunset.

6: 30 p.m., I pushed open the door, and sunset afterglow has over the front of the garden.

(We live in the Octagon is only one layer, the same as the Villa is located in the garden. ) By tall coconut trees looming, the setting sun. "God, the Sun is out!" I cried with a loud, we excitedly carrying the camera to the beach. When I went to the beach, the Sun has come close to the sea and the days so repellent to thousands of Sun ceased harsh light, a red Sun quietly hanging at the end of the sea and the sky, beach, sea and sky are dyed blonde. The moment Sun became the center of everything, it seems in the gentle dominate the entire world. I stretched hands, feeling and so close at sunset is between. Yes, through light, it gently and I embrace. I want to find the best angle, take immediate beauty, I turned to take a camera, Sun is in an extremely rapid fall in the sea, away from me. Maybe it's me down, I would like to always hold its desires, destroyed the phase punctual happiness, let it chose the hurried farewell.

We live in a Club of Carupano while not long beach I. 's best hotels, but away from the main beach, it has its own private beach.

Dinner, hotel in front of the beach with dozens of painted Lantern Wai a rectangular dining area, a Philippine band facing the sea singing I like "Hotel California". Not far away, several local children are while playing beach volleyball. Although the Philippines during dinner dish really afraid to flattered, but this kind of listening to the songs, blowing sea breeze restaurant of leisure mood is unprecedented.

Tour to the main beach

The next day, I slept in a hotel, eat breakfast buffet gelanjue found a particularly delicious food – the potato salad with beef, smooth, delicate, fragrant, now think of it, I'm drooling.

Around ten o'clock, we go to the main beach (approximately five minutes by boat, do local Mo's to ten minutes). Main beach scenery really wash eyes, was build bikini MM S-type, there are a number of European and American beautiful MM in the second half of the Coconut Grove on the beach naked do Martha it. Long Beach I. has known in the world of fine sand, feeling and my CD, almost transparent powder, no wonder makes MM are at the risk of dangerous out have exposure. (Philippine coconut oil is authentic, Martha its more than two hundred peso is 30 Yuan will be able to do a full body massage). However, for women, the shopping attractions but can overwhelm aCut. Long stretches of the main beach beach I. four or five kilometres, all kinds of shops between plug in pubs and inns, all selling souvenirs of the Philippines. The simple Filipina, doing business is very kind, and their owner doesn't allow space is not large. Then I do online tips, find a local wholesale market for Wet matket, where the goods are very concentrated, slightly cheaper prices.

About eleven or so, our mission has a dozen people who rent a car Moldova, go start around long beach I..

The road is not very good, and both sides of the road, a string of wooden Spire hut complements in the trees. Because the Philippines was a colony of Spain, so the local architectural style in Spain. We are on the way to the golf course has been a path full of flowers, these unknown flower color special bright, is my very favorite pink. Sitting in the car don't see flower at the end of the road, despite the heat, I still couldn't resist jumping out to a friend, excitement, let me take pictures. After Golf, along the uphill road, we come to the end of the island. At the end of the beach does not have a main Beach Downtown, some more pure sea water, in addition to a company specializing in the Philippines dishes of the restaurant, there's no other shops. Listen to an often come here on holiday with friends, this place is essentially Occidental driving his boat alone here, this small restaurant can drink the best throughout the long beach I. drink fresh coconut juice. Drink coconut is not willing to try Philippines dishes, I insisted on going back to the main beach for lunch.

Through the Wet Market reach is located on the second and third number head Beach Road, turn left after 50 meters, is the exclusive Korean and Chinese cuisine in Boracay Regency restaurant.

My friends and I went back to see the familiar Chinese menu, pleasure. The price is not expensive, big, consumption levels and top of the water's edge restaurant in Lijiang. Here's stir fried beef brisket Braised Pot of swamp and do good, tastes are Cantonese cuisine.

Eating lunch out left farther point, there is a restaurant called Nigo Nigo, its open-air bar business very well, I went in to the Cup mango sake sit down, first off, I take a deep breath.

So delicious, I swear this is I've had the best drink freshly squeezed mango juice. Although mango juice drink has been good enough, I also asked the bartender recommend local characteristics of freezing point Hello Hello, similar to Thailand's friction Cha Cha, can according to their preferences to sweet corn, sweet potato, red bean, NATA, etc, then add ice, condensed milk, coconut, finally put into ice cream. On not afraid of long fat MM, is definitely a good dessert. Thus, in the side bar drinks, listens to the Sun's Red foreign guys chat, we have 4 points when I walk to, began to participate in various water sports.

Long Beach I. water sports very stimulating, banana boat, water chute, etc, still it is a long beach I. boat can have a sense of control HI.

Due to the long beach I. sea is wide and flat, so even I such a timid person, open up all forget speed, provoked by the NPC is behind me Slowly. play at six, exciting water sports began to have ended when the sea sailing start number. Sat junk view sunset Seaview is a long beach I. special features, we just hired a few boats, let them send us back the tulipano Room Club.

I am a first time sat junk, first I have a little nervous because Yachting on no formal sitting position, only sitting at the flank of weaving the Web.

However, sail, I found that this is the most comfortable ride. Sailing with the wind, very smooth, braid and a soft, can seat can lie, especially comfortable, two-footed the freedom to put to sea in close contact with seawater. Sailing gradually away from the beach, the beach of noisy up bar at the end of the performance of music as the background music as died away. Sailing into the sunset fall slowly forward direction, and from our back, long beach I. above the Moon was born. Sun and moon Tong-Hui – only in the martial arts novels before seeing the spectacle, vividly demonstrated in my eyes. Sea Breeze gently kissed us every pore, I caught up with no words. At the same time, as we are at the helm of the fisherman, the sound low moment onwards a unknown in English. Previously in Shenzhen of Venice and the Hilton Chongqing has heard of Philippine singer singing, but that kind of passion but not with this moment this subtle tenderness. When the Sun completely fall, Dim light, pale Moon light over the more calm sea, the gentle scent spread throughout the world began quietly ... When we arrived at the tulipano room Beach, fisherman told us, the most beautiful long beach I. enjoy the evening sun fall and rise time morning glory of the sea fishing. We are very sorry, because the next morning we leave this beautiful little island that we are in the final moments before they understand how to go to experience the most beautiful long beach I. at all times.

Tourism small level for men:

1. like the girls shopping Spain design to Manila MALL shopping, there's a GUESS, MNG, and LEE's store, the price is cheaper than at least one third of the country.

2. Manila has two distinctive sights you can see, one of the ancient castle, Spain and the other u.s. military Memorial.

3. never been Casino friends can go to the Casino in Manila, Manila horizon has 36 Government open to legitimate Casino.

The trek to travel the world with small feet: journey to the Philippines

I. prepare articles

Originally this Spring Festival intends to participate in small feet of Guangxi and Yunnan tour, but wait until the last special reasons cannot take place, so I quickly modify the plan.

Looking ahead, the nation seems to have a large flow.

Yunnan there already is a usual price soars twice, it's not confident to self-tour, so full of reading the newspaper in the world to find, to select which not many people, the price is not excessive, but it thousands of Hsieh, I haven't found, had to turn the lock to go abroad.

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Macau I and Karen wedding tour ever, Korea also went to last year, wanted to consider Japan, but Karen dad objected, so let's get back to Japan-Japanese money, not to the results of this proposal, also rejected.

Read newspaper suddenly found a Philippine long beach line, think you can go, anyway, a few days at the beach to play, good, so the call to the travel agencies to inform have no seat, this year's tour of the island is also someone's new year's day hotline, prior to the booked. God, can't get better where to go this year. Then go to ask an acquaintance with some travel agencies, the query only 27 January there are places that would accompany Daddy Chinese new year, and am very guilty about Clark.

Home and Daddy a Grandpa, Karen is opened, that usually are together, do not have to pay attention to what the new year is not new, while the home does not need to care, time, energy, not worried, Go Daddy.

While Daddy is supported, but was still some sorry. But the temptation to play and very large, or very selfish.

Travel agents make money out there, just waiting for our flight and departure notifications.

Catch the son, the trip across the aside, the unit has been very busy during the day, too busy to surf the Internet, has been proceeding before going onto the Internet and see what others wrote to the Philippines, as well as considerations of travels, replenish travel lessons.

25 January, travel agencies before departure notifications sent to my email, in accordance with the requirements of the suitcases, travel, things to bring the experience of the early on.

But since the Philippines is summer, Beijing is preparing for the winter clothes on some trouble, used also with wearing Sandals; wearing down jacket also half sleeve with a shirt and skirt, it is fun, flip through all of a work. Finally the long beach or forget to bring insect repellent for, Oh, no wonder, who in January can think to use insect repellent, the mosquitoes in the Philippines still friendly, drank the blood of my Chinese, wipe the fine point of essential balm, this is way down the line.

2. travel time

Aircraft is 27, 08 9: 55 min.

Because from flights and take passports are at the airport, so early to some, fear the way bet on car, leaving toleave, so rich time. Airport not I expected more, perhaps in this way better. Looking for a team leader, passport, luggage, Office, registration procedures, security · · · · · · All get away from the boarding time is 20 minutes, three seat to sit down, each holding a book looks. LUN LUN is not like it used to be a novelty to the airport, 11 just to fly to the GUI, so now a pair of old players.

Check-in time, we take a Philippine air lines of PR399.

On the plane to everyone in the swap seats, our family of three Edgar Allan dad and LUN is attached to the seat, I was alone, I don't care, as long as there is one adult in a child's side look to it, I was alone can see the moment surefooted. Although the LUN LUN for General airport freshness, but the meal on the plane is still without remorse of lights, I admire. Seat belt buckle, the plane took off after five minutes the young man has started and looked out to dinner. The plane to complete the disembarkation, I saw the whole is in English, to convince all to Karen dad to do, and so returned to fill in Chinese immigration card when I will be proactive, hee hee!

Eating, reading, sleeping, 4 hours easy just sent over.

The plane reaches the Philippines Manila airport has been in the evening. The aircraft began to feel his own clothes, Karen dad and learn quickly to go to the bathroom clothes, we were not wearing thick clothes to, replace the fairly easily. I feel that I can stick it without replacement.

Originally only heard of the Philippine Government officials more bureaucracy and corruption, and for most government agencies do not know much.

By entering this time.

I walked in the front, see immigration not more quickly in the past, the Customs officers was official in my complete immigration card stamped, when you see my passport is a mission abroad, the passport back to me, made me side station gestures, my English is not wonderful, quickly turn for help Karen dad.

Karen father and she talked to a few sentences later told me that as a team, to collective. We had to wait. This, the aircraft are, etc. The team is to follow the tour departure to the customs officer order queue. When you start out from China, the Philippines, immigration to this. Last year we went to Korea is the Mission of the last three people, this is the penultimate home, LUN LUN for his platoon is behind us, when you next apply recommended me to put him in front of us, I next note. Manila's customs and immigration is very small, as if only six channel. Staff received the US passport to seal, then enter their computer from the team list find this person, cross out, while also looked up and check the I and passport photos. In fact, not a minute, let them do just several minutes, the efficiency is too low. Chinese comrades in winter a long line, so depressed! keep Chinese attacked the Philippines customs efficiency was not too acquaintance members also start conversation and start evaluation up to the Customs around the world.

Finally my turn, successfully passed.

Hurry to get my luggage. Estimates are go for several laps, also good national guide guide has worked for us for luggage. Looking behind the LUN Dad has not been done, it is puzzling, are a group of people, so slow? far looking at Karen dad and seaOff the conversations. Finally adopted, ask before on, the original I is the first page of the last one, the officers did not pay attention to the second page, so to Karen dad here is in trouble, and really suits them.

Finally the staff go smoothly, sitting on the bus tour, to accompany said 蔡 Guide, not a standard Mandarin, welcomed us.

The capital of Manila, the Philippines than I imagined to clean.

I think it will see that with Thailand-like streets, but also good. Comparison attractivity my eye is what they call a small bus "float" is a private car, with Europe and the United States out of motor vehicle parts, body assembled a thicket, front is a little like the Jeep looks, body length, passengers need to sit face to face, just like our Beijing subway car seats are placed. No window glass, four airless, anyway, is the tropical, not afraid of cold. Sometimes a passenger, was hung in the body, such as railway guerrillas. The guide said that this kind of car are private, drivers, and the whole process is divided into three kinds of prices, the recruitment of the stop, close to the car, the driver drove the tube and pipe collect the money, he preceded with a big mirror, not in order to see the road, but to see who's who on the passengers, who did not pay money, the price is divided into 2.5 pesos, 5 pesos and 7.5 pesos, but unfortunately we have no time to feel, well sorry to say that only photography to mark the occasion.

We live in the Philippines second PHILIPPINE PLAZA HOTEL, wardrobe facilities and some very old, but the environment is elegant.

Dinner-LUN LUN and the LUN dad went to the hotel swimming pool swimming and playing with water slides, very pleasant, but is only open until ten at night will close up, Karen Allen movie.

The next morning at half past 9 collection, we will wake up at 7 in the morning and Karen Allen.

Open the hotel balcony door, looking, not far away is the sea, Manila's morning some hazy, looming in the distance of tall buildings. The hotel's garden is beautiful, green grass and palm trees, swimming pool, the hammock, constitute a laid-back vacation atmosphere. We cannot do more of, LUN LUN you like more keen on hammock, in the above swing swinging it is moist. The hotel's buffet breakfast is not forced to learn, they took the plates of the East with West, pick, a pair of to eat a gesture. Get round, lying in the garden of the hammock, a year of work fatigue seemed to disappear.

Sightseeing in the morning a simple Manila city, visited the Rizal Memorial Park began to go to our real destination long beach I. (Pollak Island).

From Manila to long beach I. need for travelling on domestic flights in the Philippines.

We take a large number of aircraft, passengers travelling on small aircraft to 30 people can direct flights to long beach, but we have to fly to the Island Airport after KALIBU ride an hour car to get to the beach, take to long beach I. crab boat. Good at playing is, more than an hour by car to let me see some Philippine scenery. This island is the city's bustling, like a rural town, street full of shops, like China some backward areas of town.

To the beach, take the crab boat (also called spider), as its name suggests is like crabs that there are several big pliers, both sides of the boat is equipped with transverse 4 large wooden, then the portrait will be connected to several Rails like to ship to install two wood wings, to sailing in the sea.

Guide to the Philippines for a total of 7871 small islands, it is a wonderland of. Even as we see it however is a big big rocks, they are also considered as a small island, so I'll be able to know the thousand islands is calculated.

Ship from long beach I. getting closer, 4 km of white sand beach, far away from the harem beside white sand, coconut, sea, yacht, beautiful sight.

The shore of the sea is shallow, boat cannot directly off the shore, waded past, baggage if you need other people to move to just 20 pesos ($ RMB 3), and Peso convertible currency is 1 Yuan = 6 pesos.

When the island was high tide, the river water depth, the boat jump off of the boatmen, waist deep sea water, the Guide let them use small vessel contains our past. In fact, in the middle of the distance that a ship half length, on the boat, the boatmen are a push, we went to the shore, and rose to disembark, fun.

LUN LUN-a shore immediately to play on the sand, sand well white good soft, like surface, foot looks very comfortable.

It certainly deserves to be the world's top ten most famous beach.

We live in is the island's PATIO PACIFIC Resort Hotel, the environment remains very beautiful.

LUN LUN for the hotel swimming pool is like, the Sea comes to an end but also playing in the swimming pool.

Play to 7 p.m., we went to eat dinner buffet.

The island does not have a vehicle. Restaurants, shops are located on the beach, bare feet on the sand just shopping for dinner, it is time to escape, felt shoes are cumbersome.

The fruit on the island is very rich, that is, they do not dare to compliment of barbecue, large chunks of grilled chicken in top, no let's roast chicken.

It is baked oysters that LUN dad big buds. Evening island is noisy. Singing and laughter, music, sound, wave sound, kids Merry shouts are intertwined; candles, lights, stars, Moon is stunning.

Did not think of the island is also able to receive programmes, return to CCTV-4 hotel also watched the Spring Festival evening.

7 a.m. we will have to get up, go to the seaside and see visions of the morning.

Sea and sky with color. LUN LUN can't help with my words to describe: "coconut", the tree, clear water, Sabah.

Morning we went to sea in deep departure and snorkeling.

Karen dad and a few men are bold, touch to underwater coral, fortunately, is not very deep. I swim level generally do not dare, honesty through wanhuayang big swim goggles look at Harbour, the fish in the coral room to swim. In the boat fishing is everyone happy. Simple fishing tools, down, and then just to enjoy the sea view, and so I think hook, pull up has left hook, fish has long been smart fish eat. But really there is luck, caught fish, niceSmall fish, like the multicolored Mermaid. Play enough, we went to another island lunch, a seafood meal. LUN LUN on seafood in General, but only to seafood is very interested in the tools, like a miniature Eggplant sticks and small chopping board, naughty LUN LUN knock. The island of coconut is cheap, a 40 pesos. If you need local knife to cut on the tree, and then open a mouth gave us fresh coconut.

The island seems to be called, because the Islands many KAITILIAN, the guide is also not very detailed.

The island of the sea more clear, but the sand is no longer the thin Beach I.. The island's local children are black, water-based, see cruise on the island, climb the big pole next to the vessel, and then performing the flip on the water. I was a child my mother, he also has a big boy, I can't bear to see them in the water, and quickly called Karen dad tip. I called them and learn together, LUN LUN white skin and their sharp contrast, are children, fate is different, somewhat disconcerted. One of the big eyes, small boys, 5-6 years old, when I give him a little time consuming, he exposed white teeth smile to me, and put yourself in the hands of the shell off to my hands, is really very nice shell, so I was very moved.

Children on their own performance in exchange for tips, but is not strong, but the playful composition, tourists willing to give, not willing to also does not matter, own and partners were playing in the water.

Back to long beach I., Allan refused to go back to the room to rest, anyway, and wearing swimming trunks, jumped into the hotel's swimming pool play.

Kid's energy is abundant than adults. Tour, back to the room to take a NAP, and so called LUN LUN woke up but how to wake up. Turn on the TV using the animation to the temptation to let LUN LUN to spirit up.

With the Mission of an 8-year-old little boy, he and Karen Allen can play together.

Two people about better and go to the beach. 2 a father takes his two sons go swimming in the sea, the LUN is still very can persist, swim to far to the sea, small boys you swim 50 meters returned, claiming to play on the sand. Play time is always have a dizzying, watching the Sun by the sea, sunset afterglow of the sea, enjoying mood.

This dinner is at your own expense.

Our two families together to dine on the island, spent 2010 pesos. Here's the coconut is 80 pesos a, 2 bottles of beer is 220 pesos. LUN LUN appetite was good, great, great stuttering stuttering meat dishes, the couple saw his son to eat some of the play, cannot help but praise LUN LUN with peace of mind.

Get round, the children went to the beach to play, we also take a walk along the beach for adults, a number of sand sea stacks, which specifically set aside for visitors photo, night at the top point candle, a beautiful sight.

Foot with thin sand, the sea gently over the tops, the children walk found Baker and coral, like treasure hunting.

The next morning is still playing on the island, around the hanging around the island shop, bought himself a local specialty apparel ~ yarn cage, feeling very clever design, suitable for beach wear.

10: 30 pm, we begin the journey to return to Manila, laments time flies everyone's face, who already have been signs of sun kissed.

For lunch we are in the vicinity of the airport with a restaurant meal, eat a local Filipinos meal, for their grilled fish, barbecue, Curry Chicken, hot and sour soup, grilled squid, the Mission of the Chinese people cannot be accepted, but the LUN LUN remains much stuttering meat soup, small mouth, so that the adults open-mouthed the little boys little perturbed chopsticks, but eat his mother make do with the instant noodles.

I also was son of meals adaptable amazed, it seems normal to eat my hand tide MOM cooking, going to eat any food can swallow, hee hee!

By airplane to Manila, visit San Diego Castle, shopping, dinner ...

A day trip to an end.

Three: end of the article

31 January morning our morning 5: 30 pm will be heading to the airport, take the aircraft to return. There are no flowers in the hands of the peso, thought to the airport to spend, but did not think the Philippines customs stalled again let us experience, every time I go abroad are left blank when early, then you can have plenty of time to wander about, but this time, 7: 30 pm, 7: 25 minutes we also accept passport stamped waiting in a queue, it is served. Security is death, men's belts are to check for solutions, catch up with the front one grandfather wore the hypertrophy of trousers, solutions for the belt after leaving with trousers walk, it was the first to catch this kind of situation. This time the Philippines trip because it's too late to sign up, visit selected is not very good, time is too short, 5 days, 4 nights in this tourist destination is simple to play at the seaside. Philippines customs give me the impression is not good, but the long beach I. Filipinos I was impressed, not throw soliciting, see we will take the initiative to the sea, it asks you whether to play the Sea project, if we shook his head and said NO, they are no longer adhere to tourists is comfortable, shopping and dining. The Philippines is a tip, service personnel, many of which depend on tips for life. So we went out for some small change has prepared to tip. National Guide Guide: night of hotel not to tip you can also view, but Karen dad 20 pesos a tip is not expensive, not because this is a tip to let foreigners Chinese bad impression (Chinese people would have been in the habit of foreign tip-of-mouth is not very good). So we live every day in the hotel room pillow on 20 pesos. The Philippines is an English speaking country, so many days I did not experience the local Philippine language is what the pronunciation, contact the locals speak English, although not in a standard, but communication with no problem. LUN LUN through the tour, more aware of the importance of learning English, we sometimes tend to let him go and the waiter asked things or for cutlery, etc, at first he also some timid, but many times, you elegant, remember when buffet on the island, you will need some salt, with the Mission of the little boy is having the courage to say what you want in the EastWest is not guilty of the Observatory, but the waiter where do not know how to speak English salt, some kind can take that to understand, but specific expression looks difficult things, then LUN LUN followed him, help him busy, the English told the waiter need salt. By this time, the LUN LUN emboldened big up. Although the tour time is too short, but also circular a LUN LUN and as one of my dreams. The winter was over, I had the plan + 1 + tourism project. People have a goal is a wonderful thing. Travel tips: no slack in the Philippines and China. Power we comes with the British standard Sockets. In the long beach or need mosquito, the hotel does not offer, but the mosquitoes are not very powerful. In the deep sea snorkeling, the water is a jellyfish sting, some will bite packages. The island of pure water is 20 pesos a bottle, but also not too expensive. You can bring special product and what is not dry mango, banana, coconut powder, coconut oil, dried mango, banana stem can also feel too sweet. Mango stem supermarket selling 80 pesos 200 g bag.

BORACAY-leisure Paradise (top)

January 27, I went to the coveted long beach I., leaving haze of Chongqing, into the brilliant sunshine, blue sea and white sand beaches, the mood can be imagined.

Line made reference to the recommendations of the big bother members online, helpful, and even some new discoveries with you all:

The reason selected January report, in addition to false, because January is to long beach I. best season, in the case of the dry season, little rain and cool (25-28 degrees), July and August, the temperature will be higher to 35 degrees.

Early departure to online listening, complete with a so-called hard, even and air did not think that, because I haven't set foot out of China, I have been together all land, sea and air, flying from Chongqing morning to travel to the airport in Shenzhen, Terminal hydrofoil to Hong Kong Airport, then by PAL 3 hours to Manila is a thousand lights.

Live Westin, hotel size small, but very old. The next day went to the US military cemetery, let me think of the Salvation Army's opening scene, rain, very spectacular. As for Manila's feelings, liangzi "broken," and friends called internationalization of slums, an afternoon flight to agree!!, Birkeland (small propeller aircraft, by 30 people or so), had in Manila domestic airport security, once again I was stopped to the lost experience (last time was in Jakarta), bag some zero-dollar coins and banknotes, RMB I took out on the plate, the result is seven individuals chasing me for money (they even not $ 5 $ 10 $, $ designed to 1, it may be green RMB pretender to the right, but in Southeast Asian countries, this is often the case). Another feeling is lagging behind and inefficient, as the capital airport, changing the ticket holder should have a computer, the entire manual, and the odd slow, another pleasure is the baggage weight to that person's weight (a white to a free physical examination). Two busy 40 minutes, I haven't changed my vote, I rush into heart (in fact, my patience good enough, plus on this early experience, meditation, 5th Scriptures "patient and wait"), actually I chucked aside, to later gweilo were good, I was finally broke out, a good English and Mandarin maniac yelling, two hands mess MM is finally changing., 45 minutes to navigation, 5 minutes by car to the beach (compared to Karim wave was 1 in little more than an hour by car), the boat (is that a crab boat) 20 minutes to their destination, wading ashore. Not landed, I was amazed people, Sea Beach is very beautiful (well beyond Phuket, Samui, Langkawi, Bali, slightly down in Maldives, but stretches of white sandy beach of 4000 meters is not and elsewhere).

Let's first talk about live: I live in ASIA hotel, just put into use, the hotel is small, only five three-story building, the atrium design excellently lived very comfortable and quiet (later I went to several other comparison of hotel online, or find here good), the first is the location is good, is on no. 2, 3 minutes to walk to the white sand beach, junction is easy to change money shopping TOURCENTER, is very quiet at night.

The second is very safe, opposite the police station, next to the coast guard, the door was also real gun security (I and he took a picture, in fact, security is very good on the island, except that the Philippines was held firearms can be private, so to see Dutch guns everywhere, compared to just to Manila, one out of the airport, opposite two armoured, next to a group of soldiers holding M16, that's nothing); the third is facilities good, room is big, new and big balconies, the following is a fancy swimming pool that is worth mentioning is also a small kitchen, just inside the microwave oven and fridge, but lack other tools and seasoning, or I can DIY seafood meals (if you could go next time, remember to take on the condiment, the island my biggest complaint is that the locals baotiantianwu Ah, in the total absence of imagination cooking), if you say what shortcomings, is a simple breakfast, besides the hotel should have complimentary mineral water, desk with two bottles (there is also a big fridge), experience thought out put is free, the second genius known to 70P, angrily to the supermarket to buy a quantity of water in the wild and beer, I almost broke the fridge, the waiter when doing HOUSEKEEPING did not go to the refrigerator. A few days later I went to several other hotels (maritime, Lorenzo, Friday and NAMI also has two remember name), what impressed me is the best, not for other NAMI, unbeatable sea views, hotel built on the cliff, the elevator to the beach, a stretch of white sandy beach (the best for the whole island, the sea is very brief, go view 60 meters away still only to his chest, and crystal-clear, front head is a young foreigners, and even McCain have very happy, specialized led me on the above photo. This hotel is located at the southern side, transportation (from maritime ride motorcycle 15-20 minutes to the said reference to users wherever they are 30P, was told to 100P, counteroffer to 70P) is quiet, but much less meet the people-Hi hilarious and shopping in mind, the guest is gweilo and some people in Japan. But love static or honeymoon is very good. Lorenzo and NAMI similar, only in the North of the island. Serene is built on the seaside, very convenient. Shortcomings is too much noise, and a little old. In fact, the island has many while small hotel should be a good choice. By contrast the foreigner's preference to residential areas.

Repeat play: in fact the island had is the sea, and fun projects (umbrella, scuba diving, water motorcycles, airships, banana boat, etc) there are other places, but the price is cheaper, a water motor 1 hour 3000P, Hainan is cheap, but other's have played, and only on the next FLYINGFISH, users said yes, actually do, 15 minutes (0P, with multiply 5 people, three people fly into the water, ecstatic.

The sea is also one of the packages selected boat 3000P3 hours, the other is by boat, by 4 people. The evening is to soak it up, breezy, bending, stars, on the beach to be light and songs, choose a seat, smoke a cigar, Luzon, a glass of cocktail (very cheap Island cocktails, I drank a long island iced tea, blue Hawaii, Bloody Mary, count down each Cup to 20 Yuan), listen to songs, or chat with others,Cool man, the island's second night, outside Beach also serene off fireworks, is to celebrate the Chinese new year. In addition MASAGE is also worth a try, the beach are all there, about 45 minutes, 300P have shop price is 500P, tavern, price 500P. Be sure to use COCONUT OIL to the skin well and treating sunburn, even on the first day at sea didn't bring sunscreen, hands and face injuries, tried it, very good. In addition to rent a bike or AVP Tour is also good

Continued to eat: this point of the island is not afraid to flattered, see said only a restaurant, also went, maybe, later found a DMALL, far from the words, big see Mong Kok is excited, it knows that only make fried rice and fried.

The other is a smell of barbecue and tasteless seafood. (To be continued, even more WHIR, tomorrow to write)

Internet is recommended to go eat a mango SERISE, good, later became the daily will drink (go to the Beach Street, DMALL a parlor, flavor, is best done in a Cup, 50P DMALL also has a home, a Cup, 30P taste good, is not now), HALOLO also tried, General.

DAMLL RI Mong family ICEMONSTER next to do ice cream shop, well worth a try, I like blueberries. Seafood don't have to say, every day, buffet, impression to the Islands tour is on an island for locals prepare seafood meal taste was OK.

Shopping: the Earth is on the island, but a centralized store or look at the previous DMALL online said island no price to tell, in fact, it is able to cut, but is not too much (my owner doesn't allow up to 30%), DMALL-RI cartoon beach shoes is very interesting and to the son bought a pair of nemo (looking for Wayne, no small) 150P.

Other than what souvenirs, I didn't buy anything, don't want to carry too much back to Manila, say shopping nor I am good at and love it. Back to Manila, went to Robinson, turned out to be a big supermarket, something is very much, the price is cheap, is not how many well-known brands. Buy a few pieces of LEE and POLO t-shirt, 400P-600P, bought a lot of Cebu production of mango stem (delicious), in order to back away and buy a variety of Luzon cigars from 135P ~ 300P a box to 200P a (best of course is your own), and later met visitors from Cebu back, where I discovered that these prices are cheap.

Leisurely on the island for four days, the whole island and visit the faster, people are lazy, here is a really good place to trance, Ah, Oh by the way, also do a hand and nail care, comfortable! completely different from domestic, two people to do the last 45 minutes, the program very much, I fell asleep, woke up and saw that the Nice! 250P (later to a local MM, as also do 150P), my boss, reply me is differentiated.

Think about 40 RMB also values, like beautiful GGMM can try. Also during the weekends to the village on the island, at their church, and the villagers to talk, feel that the locals are very friendly. At night there is always a serene next to a group of people at the show, visitors can join, surging inspiring. In addition the beach sand or dance and dance of fire ' performances.

1. in General, Pola cover is a good place for leisure, however recommended that you want to go, or a family or a few friends to come along (lovers), or a person to stay on the island a few days would be boring, after all, I do not like foreigners every day on the beach lie down on the Sun-a-day.

The island is small, fun things that so much, let you go every day to bubble will be boring.

2, it is best to change money in Manila, the better the exchange rate to the dollar as an example: Manila airport 1: 53; island is 1: 51.

On the island, almost TOURCENTER major currencies can be exchanged, including won and NT (true is the gas man)

3. eat don't pick up, if you want to do it yourself, remember to take on the condiment, 6 am, opening in fish fresh DAMLL, you can do at the back to the hotel, but the tools provided by the hotel, you can only do steamed.

4. here is a diagram of a relaxed, don't think about it, and blank themselves better.

Of course, based on my own terms, this island to last that long enough to make people really boring, no more choice and you can see, no worse than in Bali (which really made me not mind, despite going two)

I didn't care, I'm not what you're never too old to play on the island quite happy, soon forgot about it. A very pleasant one, start also doesn't determine that image or quite like that is small height, people also very thin, not doing makeup and television is not the same, then go through to get drinks next to it, heard her and next to the old couple (presumably her parents) speak, say, Sichuan dialect is definitely Yes. Back to go to several children, the right people to take photos, she is also aware of some note, and immediately wore dark glasses is gone.

Impression of long beach I.

Impression of long beach I.

Sat Philippine Airlines, direct machine after four hours to go to Manila airport (NINOY AQUINO International Airport, now called) from the international airport to the domestic airport and only 2 km, take the Inland flights one hour to card Declan (Cadiclan) airports, inland machine is propeller aircraft, aircraft can put 50-60 people, and so on each passenger luggage and more stringent restrictions, the travel agent's proposal is to not bulky luggage stored at the Manila hotel.

Starting and landing distance aircraft are very short, the altitude is not too high, the window you can enjoy the sea and island scenery, feel safe also. From card Declan (Cadiclan) airport take a bus to Terminal only take five minutes and then take a local crab boat for half an hour to be a magazine as one of the world's top ten islands of long beach I. (BORACAY).

According to reports, the long beach I. only seven kilometres long and the narrowest places only one kilometer wide.

In the long beach I. most famous white sand beach is 4 km long beach coconut forest hides a two to three hundred restaurants and hotels, all activities at the long beach I. around the beach. Instead of long beach I. main a road (MAIN ROAD) does not have any desirable because it does not store or restaurant, and even some sections have not even lights at night. Long Beach I. peak season is from November to may and from June to October is the low season, off-season much rain and storms. So the price is cheap accommodation.

Long beach of white sand beach I. very slow, so the crab boat makes it difficult to rely on the shore, only wading ashore, as a lesson in advance, we all put on shorts, slippers or sandals, as waves of relatively large, many people still feel wet to the waist, if you do not want to lay water, there are many professional "beifu", a piece of luggage or a person only 10-20 pesos ($ RMB approximately swap six pesos), bulky baggage will charge a bit more.

Watch the little Filipino carrying a big tourist in waist-deep water, really a bit in mind almost too, and truly feel the hard life of the local people.

In the long, white sand beach I. a total of three stop small Pier, actually not really Pier, just press the lots to split up North is a Terminal, where the most wide, sandy beach is the best, man is minimal, the hotel is the most advanced, like Pearl Beach Resort and Friday of the Pacific Beach Resort is a farmhouse-hotel, cottage-style hotel in the island is the most upscale.

Luxury hotel is in front of the beach, private beach exclusively for our hotel guests enjoy, do not allow hawking. In the middle of the Terminal II, is the most popular beach, is also the most crowded beach. The South is the Terminal 3 has a lot of cheap hotels, is also very popular, there are many small restaurants and bars don't have. Three so-called Wharf distance and not very far, between each terminal walk for half an hour you can reach. Of transport on the island is largely similar to blatantly bucket motorcycle taxi (Tricycle), a maximum of five people can be seated, scooters 50 pesos, a man as long as seven pesos. Where are all the same price.

Compare the relative quiet since the day, after dusk on the island is the busiest time, Sun a downhill, numerous beach restaurant started business, in the local folk music to recruitment, with red lanterns as signs, there's a hand torch circled around the table, there's a candle's Bisha marking.

Local restaurants to barbecue, taste not afraid to flattered, desirable only fresh and eating environment.

Philippine singer is world famous, in long beach I. many restaurants bars have live music or singing, the playing of all inputs and soulful Philippines love songs, often the atmosphere on the beach to the climax of the day.

It is worth mentioning that the long beach I., fruit drinks, sweet yellow mango sauce, slightly sour green mango sauce, thick coconut milk sauce, banana milk lotion, pineapple, papaya sauce we are worth drinking.

Shops in the various SHAKE as long as 30 pesos a Cup, restaurant and hotel is 70-80 pesos a Cup.

Dusk on the island is also the most romantic time, many couples, barefoot stroll along the beach, drips with seawater, listening to the ocean, hand in hand, enjoying the sunset afterglow, admirable.

A lot of tourists choose this time chartering sailing, blue sailing stood Golden sunset and colorful clouds with blue green endless sea, the landscape mukojima. The sails, the setting sun, cloud, the sea and horizon gracefully makes a long evening of unique charming Beach I.. And enjoy the unique scenery of the time just half an hour.

Long Beach I. ordinary hotels are usually 2-4-storey building, although not large, but most of them have its own restaurant and swimming pool.

Since the beach is public, beach coconut forest with numerous wood cane products shop, bag shop, Sha Cage shops, fabric lamp shop, beach shop, swimwear beachwear shop, slippers, shell products shop, mostly concentrated in the D ' MALL area. There are also national flavor of dining and entertainment facilities is also a house next to a House. Long Beach I. only two larger point of a cashier at a supermarket, the other is a small shop. Long Beach I. not less than the number of bars and restaurants, sometimes both limits and not obvious, a different decoration, different styles, and tastes of different populations. Music is light, soft, strong and even R & B of all kinds. More famous with Live band pubs have COCOMANGAS, HEY JUDY and SUMMER PLACE.

Long Beach I. activities to maritime activities, sailing, diving, diving, fishing, flying fish (considered long beach I. most exciting water sports, boat trailers with a floating mat, speed of floating mat will stand up, when the whole body to tense seize floating pads on the rope, fear of being left to the sea).

Our referenceThe island tour to white beach of the beach, the day long, the boat is relatively bumpy, everyone's clothes are wave wet, feel is very stimulating, watching young boatmen in crab boat on bamboo stand on either side of the body to keep the balance Board, we all admire. Due to the waves, the usual superficial time can see fish, see, fear of danger, we shortened the superficial and swimming. Also incorporates a full Shell Beach, a dock, local hawkers to competing vendors, although no deal, they are very friendly, and not, we at the beach watching the waves, pick up a shell, exploring the caves of coral reefs, experience this and city life very different feelings. Play the banana boat is also very interesting, every ship to six people, a speedboat drags, suddenly turning or stopped, most people fall down, down, down, up in a stimulating yet.

To be fair, the Philippines, Thailand, massage levels as well but the price is almost too good to miss, in the beach coconut enjoy Philippines Auntie's massage as long as 300 pesos an hour, watching a lot of tourists, collapsed in a beach chair, blowing sea breeze, the State under the skilful maneuver of dissatisfied consumers feel sleepy, watching is excellent.

Hotel environment better, have air-conditioning, a bathroom, as long as the extra 100 pesos.

Long Beach I. tourists many Europeans, but in recent years, Korea had become the largest source, it is said that has accounted for a total of 30% of the tourists, the island was to see the Korean flag, which also indirectly explains Korea people's position in long beach I., even many Korea emigrated here started a restaurant, karaoke, bar and Cafe, and Korea are also encountered the beach most tourists.

In the long beach I., more popular addition fabric lamp, shell necklace and various decorative slippers, Sha Cage, especially from European tourists welcome, whenever the encounter on the beach wearing colorful yarn cage or modified Sha Cage Belle tourists, beautiful stature with beautiful sandy cage, with the sea breeze, the graceful, elegant, often make.

Tattoo and plaits are long beach I. comparison of featured products, tattoo's booth at the island abound, tattoo is not a real use acupuncture, just using a not easy peeling black fuel in various parts of the body to draw a variety of patterns, the less you spend 1-2 hours, the more you spend half a day, but also in two hours cannot be stained water, it can maintain two weeks or so, the tropical heat of short skirts trousers with long beach I. unique tattoo pattern makes long beach I. on another kind of landscape.

Long Beach I. of Plaits and Thailand, Thailand will be equipped with many beads, and long beach I. basically use rubber series, due to the low-cost, most young girls will be tempted to try.

Hand painted t-shirts on the island is another local product, many t-shirt shop door are the local people on-the-spot painting t-shirts, mainly long beach I. scenery, you can also press the intention to draw any guests.

Long Beach I. on mosquito is I visited the island in the highest level, even breakfast will have their patronage, my cabin, beach dinner without taking protective measures that go back a few bites of 40-50 Pack, and the itching.

The island of each store and the store has sold a Classic sign OFF! anti mosquito cream (Insect Repellent Lotion), insect bite drug effect up to 8 hours after use, wonders, and every meal or evening prior to wipe some of the trip, no mosquito can patronize me, many travellers also bought more than back home, that is to the child. Recommended if you go after the long beach I., bought a try, never regret it.

Filipinos warm and friendly, naturally optimistic, always take every opportunity to enjoy life, even if they're living in the slums of poor people, never give up any "poor joy".

With this in mind, we are also in the long beach I. deep experience, beach launched kill the aunt, the island sells seashells on operators, taxi drivers, young boatmen have confirmed this. I was wondering if this is not because they are Catholic's sake?

Go to the long beach I. necessary items: visor, sunscreen, flashlight, sandals slippers or diving shoes, sunglasses, mosquito control agents.

Go to the long beach I. not to be missed: maritime activities, fruit sauce, tattoo, plaits, watch the sunset, enjoy the Philippine singer singing.

2005 may 1 Philippines vacation-3 long beach I.

Cebu Pacific is another Philippine Airlines, aircraft compared to the old and dig out, only to a small bottle of lemon tea and a biscuit, but to be fair, less than one hour of flight that can only give so much stuff.

Soon arrives at callipo airport, small luggage at a small so-called visitors arrive at the ' Hall ' piece, we all are crowded together, luggage, I and husband caught empty back to the airport which took some photos, while the sun overhead, but it is strange that there is not hot, even with a touch of prestige, people feel very comfortable. Dragging luggage out of the airport, could examine the terrain, it was a small guide for detonation on an air-conditioned bus, can do 50 people, large buses exercise in Kalibo to Caticlan is on the road, the road is very narrow airport from the beginning of the term, along the way but are low in the village, there is nothing worth watching the scenery, not a comrade Lenin was sleeping the past. I do not know how long a, comrade Lenin woke up and found also in the village lane between run, livings ' boring is ride ', then turned and sleep. Two wake up comrade Lenin feel almost coming, quickly removing sunscreen from scratch get a maniac. It was a long time for a long time, the car was finally stopped, also saw sea, Mama MIA! Caticlan arrived. Walked into the waiting Hall, has a lot of people there, from the corner of the Hall was beautiful music, walks to take a look at the original is disabled carers in plays guitar, fiddle, Philippines pulled towards the life attitude of people really worth learning the world's people, their poverty, but they have every enjoy life bring them pleasure, there is a place where music would be someone with the rhythm of the dance, sing, or precisely because of this Philippine singer is world famous, in my opinion the Philippine singer does not necessarily have a colorful, has moved the audience because they are in your heart to sing the song of joy, with their songs, the everyone infected to everyone happy! you know, the work of the white collar in the Philippines can be happy, they each morning and afternoon have a tea time, the supply of refreshments available are provided by yo! plus, the lunch they really want to take a NAP, the company must provide them with something similar to the bed for their NAP! strongly envy ... Ran quickly said come back to me. Carrying luggage from the waiting Hall on Bangka (crab boat) is a physical work, if your box is very large and you don't have to worry, there will be lots of Filipino young man's struggle with your luggage, of course, this is the tipping, 20peso on it (the equivalent of 3 blocks much money in expensive anywhere you want to remember to tip, of course, it would be nice if 20peso) from the crab boat launch to we're no. 2 is not long, almost 20 minutes away, of course, the boat Pier No. 3 paused to down some people.

No. 3 near the most popular beach, where the accommodation are generally family hotel, 2 Pier Beach were slightly less, some AA level resort and holiday resort, it is critical that the island I see only bank here (depressed Bank 3 pm is closed) No. 1! there is AAA luxury hotels, hotels in General has its own agency relative quiet beach, something that never!

2005 may 1 Philippines vacation-4 long beach I.

We live in a Patio Pacific Hotel, the hotel most let us down is a little far away from the beach, 2, 3 minutes on foot, through the hotel and a small alley is the beach, but also because of this we can quiet sleep, 嘿嘿! but this hotel has the island's only professional rock climbing wall, the price is very cheap 120peso/person, less than 20 Yuan, climbing wall, next to the swimming pool, a lot of people who play there in Korea.

Yes, but demonstrates that, to the long beach I. Korea people that call a more than Bali on Korea's proportion is even higher, shop signs are basically a Korean, I and my husband go have been deemed to Korea, this is depressing but person than as Japan, of course, this is obvious, we both have straight legs Patio Pacific does not send the upscale, the hotel is divided into three regions for accommodation of two 3-storey building was a little storey restaurant at the sides, we lived in this building before there is a small road, this small narrow road parallel to the coastline, the island is the only way to get the car, the road is the shuttle's basic 3-wheel motorcycle, passengers can do two passengers to anywhere 7peso. The greatest car that is micro-pickup, back when her husband is sitting in the cab is sitting straight, of course, this is way down the line. The room is nothing special, but is very suitable for family of 3, a double bed + a single bed, or sentence, not for anything else, as long as clean. The hotel fully qualified! time has elapsed in the afternoon, a short rest we came with a small guide for a small restaurant Beach, restaurant on the second floor, facing the sea, sitting in any corner of the restaurant can easily see shades of blue sea water caused by a and the Palm Beach of silver. At that time, I wanted to sit in this local eat, estimated fart is fragrant, haha! before I heard the Mango Shake a stick at cant wait point a Cup, but for half an hour passed, and that's a fart without up! watch boss busy cleaning up the dirt on the table next to the disk is dirty dishes, but do not feel hungry. Small guide then explained that Filipinos are such that they are very slow, you push him his attitude would be better to make you feel guilty, but no effect, so eat here to learn to wait! after a while, we dish up slowly, this is the Philippines dishes, feel about the people of the Philippines, taste of home cooking is not afraid to flattered, especially in the basin of the acid meat stew, is called an acid, even my it can stand as sour of inside acid meat taste, only drank sour soup to eat inside the turnip. In our dining when I noticed that the boss has just busy sometime end with a cup of coffee, sit on the beach Sun Chair and enjoy the scenery, the cozy really admirable. Look at this small restaurant bar, the bar and there's special design, up to the bar after the wall hangs a large rucksack, next to a colourful aquaplane (I wonder if is not is called aquaplane), a mosaic picture frame hanging on them, it is – windsurfing instructor certification, small guide said that Germany is the boss who love windsurfing, came to long beach to fall in love with this place, the island like him a lot of foreigners, not willing to leave here here to open a small stay! years ago in Lijiang I have had the ' leave the noise of the city, give up everything to stay ' in Flash, but too much distraction-mix, few people can really give up urban life!, pulling away! back to dinner, I Shake that Mango has not come, ask the waiter knows that no ice, some casual chatting, saw the waiter-a giant mug to me, Mama MIA, my delicious Mango Shake!, hungry for a husband of Jara child almost stream! (the next time we don't choose the island of other drinks, drink a day for several large cup Mango Shake, but recognized the most delicious and most dense or new to the island to drink the cup of ice with less) after dinner stroll on the beach for a while, found on the beach as we are wearing so ' land ' is a bit silly, decided to go back to retooling, and then out to sea to find boat.

Changed swimwear and then went to the beach, is close to sunset, time and tide wait for no man, quickly find a boat out to sea! we walked a long distance never seen someone up and asked us to ' Sailing '? zahuishi? it may be because many tourist season, less shipping.

As I look at the top of the sea, a little of the local people was to me the ' Sailing '? Yes!!! Comrades, I can find you! basically no how to bargain, to contract, 500peso/hour but I was told he said very clearly that we both personal to a wind sailing (wind sailing very environmentally friendly, entirely by the wind, Middle long hull can only accommodate a helmsman sits in the bow of the sails, passengers can only operate sitting or lying on either side of the ship wangdou), when the ship was at sea and not come back, and so neared time came a few small Japan, the people come together in playful told me plus 4 personal, I'll force card words he said to him, no, absolutely not, had to ask two individuals a! he did not speak out, I'll ship shore pulled her husband to nautical miles away, it ran on the side of the wangdou and husband sitting on the other side, at the same time small wangdou sailor shouted "Go! Go! Go!" Hee hee, that a few small Japan also finds a way to vessels, we set sail! I have always thought that watching the sunset by the sea is very beautiful, but this time only to find that lay on the ship at sunset more beautiful, no, no, ' beauty ' was not so, say it, it should be said that it was a fairy realm of enjoyment. Lying on a sailboat on the sky, wangdou feel the gentle sea breeze and sea of plaster, golden sea, van red sky ... Gradually, the sea voyage of colourful yachting in fire red sky lost colors, all became silhouettes. A beautiful rendering of the sea in front of the sunset. Mama MIA, comrade Lenin's camera?!!

More Boracay travel gonglue

2005 "11" go to Boracay, back pressure of work, one after some experience to write down, put up until now ... so the information is then, now is not necessarily accurate, particularly in the exchange rate, etc., but should be no major discrepancies:

Have long heard that long beach I. (Boracay), has been Lonely Planet and internationally renowned United Kingdom BMW tourism magazine; one of the world's most beautiful beaches of White Sand Beach. Jay, during the national day of 7 days, the whole process related information and experiences contributes, ctrip, information on long beach I. is small, would like to help.

There are two points that need to be placed in the preceding wrote:

1. Philippine currency is the peso (Php), and the dollar's rate of 1USD = 55.68Php (Airport Exchange, then look at a few places, the differences are not large), i.e. 1RMB equals 6.9 ~ 7.0 about pesos.

With this concept, the following content to the fees we have counted.

2. go to the route of the long beach I.:

2.1 Shanghai – Manila: China Eastern Airlines need to Hong Kong, the Philippines airlines direct flight about 3 hours

2.2 Manila-Caticlan (from long beach I. recent airport): local, Asian Spirit airlines: flight time approx. 1 hour

2.3 Caticlan-long beach I. (White Sand Beach): take the local "crab boat", takes about half an hour

30/9

Advance through travel agency bought China Eastern and Cathay Pacific airline flights, Pudong-Hong Kong-Manila to return, $ 2150/man (not including tax, about $ 540/person).

Shanghai to Manila direct only PAL, but time is not economically viable. Family trio (2 large and a small one) 30 September afternoon ride MU709 to Hong Kong, about two hours later by Cathay Pacific CX905, about midnight 12 points to Manila airport. The flight schedule is very reasonable, 29, Friday up to a half day off, please do not affect too many time in, so look at the boss's face.

Out of the airport, take a taxi to the hotel.

As with other places, many people up and asked you to stop the car, are not ignored. Airport Exit on the right, there are special taxi point but not the jump table, wall there is a table of the Manila divided into different regions, different regions, different price. The hotel's address to them, we lived in the city centre of hotel Makati area, the equivalent of Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road area, fare as 330Php. If you want to make a table of a taxi, walk with luggage to the airport outside of the Road stopped the car. Taking into account security of Manila is not good, plus is midnight, expensive, they are more expensive.

About 30 minutes to our scheduled Hotel: Best Western Astor Hotel. By the way: ctrip in Manila hotel is small, then I in Elong (http://www.elong.com/) online find them at many of the hotels in Manila, the price is cheaper than ctrip, require advance booking 5 working days.

We live in this room is between 3-4 star, Php2600/d, BBF. If you are not a special requirements Deluxe, personally think that this hotel enough.

1/10

In the morning, grooming, breakfast.

Room rate only BBF, we three, additional fees paid to a person Php200. Breakfast not very rich, but still OK.

Today we are going to fly to Caticlan. There are two airlines have Manila to Caticlan route.

Asian Spirit (www.asianspirit.com) and South East Asian Airlines (www.flyseair.com). Every day there are many flights back and forth, but be sure to book in advance. The plane is very small, Asian Spirit about 50 seats, SEAIR probably 20 seats. Low season may luck you can buy tickets for that day, but certainly is full price. During the peak season in the absence of advance (usually one month in advance), simply don't want to have a ticket. Now is the low season, my two days prior to departure to directly call the Asian Spirit, booked 1, noon-1: 30 flights Php2150/people/one-way, (full price tickets about Php3260/person), three hours ahead of time to the airport, the airline counter payment tickets. If you have to stay in Manila, you can find a local travel agent or booking the hotel.

(Also another route: Manila to Kalibo, then sit for about two hours bus to Caticlan, personally think that spend more time on the road, the higher the cost, not cost.

But if you want to look at along the local scenery is another matter)

After checking out, we rushed to the airport.

Hotel Concierge recommended we use their taxi, ask price, bid Php500! you have made a mistake and not a limousine is fixed to the hotel door and other guests. We go to the streets to stop the car, playing table, also 30 minutes to the airport, Php97 block!

Here to remind: Manila has two airports, international airport and domestic airport, not far from the distance between, just 10 minutes by car (not the traffic jam), if you are an international flight to Manila, then diverted to other Philippine cities, remember to go to the domestic airport.

Manila international airport is very small, domestic airport is smaller, the total of a Terminal, boarding time someone stood in the door yelling, you should pay attention to listen, because there is no broadcast notification, or e-cards.

Not sure, find a look like airport staffPeople ask (seems to have seen a few).

This we check-in from the Terminal to the aircraft side just 3, 5 minutes, the small aircraft are very rare, with four propeller, airframe also dwarf, a rise in the sight of the cockpit with waved us pilots in?

Bow buff enter the engine room, seats and aisles are entire small N number, do not know what those foreigners big fat Seidel on non I mouth wide, the cockpit door was wide open, inside two pilot, surrounded by dense instrumentation, buttons, joystick, GPS, etc., all show that followed saw on television are exactly! our seats are forward until the plane takes off after a long period of time, the doors are always open, I stared them how to start, accelerate, landing gear, into the sky.

Altitude has not high, so the scenery along the way, especially the quick glance into the aircraft started to fall, see the following water blue one piece, and coastal waters are Turquoise green, when the Sun is shining, the sky, the sea glittering, Harbour large corals make surface seawater colour depth, rendering dazzle iridescence.

Off the plane, into the "airport" is actually the size of a room, with my son's elementary school classroom, also includes baggage! out of this room, just standing on the road.

Here also is a village. On the right a few steps to the junction, a pergola with someone sitting at the table edge ticket, this is the "taxi", "taxi ride from here to the dock." Php30/car, the so-called "taxi", similar to our previous three-wheeled motorcycle, baggage not more words can sit up to 5 people. We can imagine a village of dirt roads, potholes along the road to avoid uneven, the villagers raise chickens, Ah, Ah, good dog about 5 minutes to the Terminal.

Advanced go to buy tickets in the Hall, there are two Windows, one is designed to give local Filipinos ticketing, another is to foreign tourists.

Fares Php19.5/person. Through the corridor, to a place on board. Not our common connection terminals and boat landing stage, but before we receive a small boat, estimated at low tide, the vessel was unable to rely on. Several guys take the boat to the big ship side and pull us big ship. Here it is necessary to pay attention to: the young man took the boat to the big ship side, do not pull on the ship, we have to pay us each and then, on this Php5 threatened Act, I have no reason they cut. But obviously only to tourists at the boat better local Filipinos don't dare tell them to. I firmly answered "No Way!". To be honest, if they do not mention, I will also be given, and must give more. Want a hard line on request, any assimilation! they see our resolute attitude, to sit in a Korea behind us who for money (our boat head), probably at our firm, Korea will resolutely not to, a stalemate, the guys asked, we had to pull up the big ship. Can imagine that if we had this header, followed by several tourists must pay for a good money.

PERGA, watching the Green Sea, unpleasant extinguished.

The local "crab boat", in the ship's sides flank with bamboo added to increase the balance and stability, the likeness crab. Boat turned a corner and a long white beaches like satin, as demonstrated by the near and far, this is the famous White Sand Beach. They say the blue sea and the sea here is green. White Sand Beach of about 4 km, in Northern, Central and South respectively three boat docking points, called Boat Station 1, Boat Station 2, and Boat Station 3, thus the entire beach is also divided into three segments. Which Station 2 is most concentrated and most lively areas, most of the hotels, hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, etc. are concentrated in this.

Ship for about 30 minutes, stop at Station 2. We wish to disembark.

Therefore, the so-called "station" is the beach of a hut, walls and writing "Boat Station 2" and the words, you're not careful look really out of sight. The local government for the protection of the environment, not to build any dock or similar facilities. Ship in shallow water, disembarked directly into the sea, probably go a 7, 8 metres to beach.

Therefore, never before to your Levi ' s and NIKE, swap shorts and sandals, or of you regret it.

We followed a Korea MM dressed heavily armed, no way into the water, the departure of fellow music top top to hold all the way to the beach MM, it is cheaper to make up the Tip!: can it in Manila before boarding the plane for shorts and sandals, or to the Caticlan by machine, in the adjacent bathroom for (I in the heat exchanger, the result put on slippers to used in there, and finally back to Shanghai is slippers out Pudong airport. ）

And no advance booking hotel.

Every time I go on a journey to a new place, except high season or at arrival, we are not scheduled hotel, like long beach I. or Phuket this tourist destination is developed, a considerable number of various grades of hotel or hotel, generally find live, second, if the prior booking, or don't know, the money paid and not come back. So we are to look after the temporary (if you dragged a large quantity of luggage is another matter). Like today, it is 3 pm, time sufficient, we went along the beach, along the way a received a variety of restaurants, hotels, hotels are mostly small, 5-10 rooms or Bungalow (cabins). Finally get tired, and pick a room called Bamboo Bungalow, separate cabins, not facing the sea, has a large balcony, hammock, a big bed and one little bed, including three for breakfast, Php2700. Not cheap. To make a night of stay will if you see a good place to change it tomorrow.

Put down the things that can't wait

Out of the door.

Well, at this point our long beach I. holiday began, and my main part of the travel ended also because after 5 days, our basic daily activities is:

10: 00 – 10: 30 morning

11: 00 – 12: 30 hotel (afternoon) meal

12: 30 – 18: 30 lying on the beach, reading, sunbathing, massage, sleeping, with son dig sand,

The water bubble, sailing, watch the sunset.

Thirsty and hungry is called back to the Chair of the restaurant.

18: 30 – 21: 30 back to the room a bath, changing, and every day find different restaurants for dinner, then sent back to the son to bed room.

21: 30 – 02: 30 I and husband pub, Skate back room to sleep after shaking.

Fairy-like days.

To sum up:

1. natural landscape:

First class.

"White beach" lives up to its name, white in the Sun, but almost impossible to not wearing sunglasses look. Sandy and fine and soft, like flour. The gentle slope of the beach, only 50 meters from the sea to go only to the thigh, most suitable for playing in the water for swimming. Green Sea transparent pure crystal-clear, you see a white yellow sheath fish. People stood in the water, swim and Polish your feet. Seawater is warm, especially around noon, almost hot. There are sailing the sea, red, blue, was nice. Till the sunset sky, golden rays shining on the sea, surrounded by sailboat, snapped the shot comes out just like a postcard. Island surrounded by lots of coral group, is a great diving and snorkeling.

2. live

I said before, such as non-peak season, there's no need to book.

But be sure to do homework before you go, on local accommodation situation have a overview. Www.elong.com and www.boracay.org has many presentation. There are a variety of grades, there are a large number of luxury, such as Friday ' s Resort Boracay Regency Beach Resort, the Pearl of the Pacific, Nami Beach Resort, etc., costs of roughly 100-200 dollars, I always preferred a small hotel, 40-100 dollars, such as Sandcastle Beach Resort, Sun Village Beachfront Resort, Dave ' s Inn, Straw Hat, etc. Our next day transfer to another hotel, called True Home Hotel, located in Station 1, very good, two floor 7 rooms in total, the boss is Italy, Mediterranean decoration style, on the beach, in-room antique furniture, we have four pillars of carving a big bed, plus a chaise couch (just for the kids to sleep), included two early (all-day breakfast, so feel free to get up when you are not afraid of breakfast time has passed), the more a person breakfast extra Php200/person. We live in is not a beach front, Php2500/night, another face the sea with large balconies and hammocks, had already been laid down, prices did not ask.

The hotel has laundry next door on the left side, 3 kg minimum charges Php120. Morning, evening, you can take.

Personally think that in the third section of the beach, it is recommended that you live in Station 1 and Station 3. These two relatively quiet, not too many tourists, and he constantly local hawker, beach and water are cleaner.

Station 2 is very lively, the people, the sea has too many sailing boat, motorboat, the crab boat, a sight on the sea view was resistance, of sorts. Station 3 not lived, but the Station is only 1 out of 7, Station 2 8 minutes walk to the excitement, no impact. There is also a "Mo 's" short distance (i.e. between between three Station) daytime Php7/person, night Php10/person. But for tourists generally offer higher, you can press the standard owner doesn't allow it. It has been paid the Php100, we usually give Php10/person.

3. eat

Mainly concentrated in Station 2. National cuisine: Spain, France, Italy, Japan, Korea ...

Of course the traditional cuisine in the Philippines are also worth a try; fear not eat, if you eat it all. Recommend one Home Spain restaurant: "Ole", where seafood is authentic. In addition, there is also a small museum restaurant "Mong Kok" similar "Typhoon", there are a variety of Cantonese Dim sum: chicken, shrimp dumpling, cabbage, pork, etc., as well as fried rice, noodles, etc. Average price of a dinner in about 50 ~ 300 pesos, there are two or three seafood restaurant, price expensive we point a lobster, two fish, prawns, only three vegetables and rice, total Php3500. Various Fruit Shakes not to be missed, basically 50 to 80 pesos a Cup, the most worthy of recommendation is Green Mango Shake, very tasty.

4.

In addition to the preceding speaks of, notably, the return trip from Manila to Caticlan flights booked in advance, especially during the peak season.

In addition, because Asian Spirit and South East Asian Airlines this small company because of the weather, flight arrangements, or any other cause, flight delay or cancel is very common, even in the air on the note with the "We are not responsible for any missed connection flights". Be on the safe side, as in time to catch up from MAnila flights home, preferably one day in advance to return to Manila, half day sightseeing in Manila city. Recommended Manila a local famous restaurant: Kamayan. Address: 47 Pasay Road, Makati City phone: 815-1463, 843-3604. Taxi drivers should know. Authentic dishes that moderate in price in the Philippines, with the band in each table in turn, generally to a consumer can Php100-200.

5. play

1/main activities lie in the Sun at the beach, reading, trance.

2/the sailboat sailing (sailing): you can do around the island, or Sunset Cruise. We package all day, from 10: 30 am to 4: 30 p.m., total Php2500, boatmen and watch people good, also full of experiences, there is no longer a bargain.

Believe that the price should be cut. Along the dock II ~ three snorkeling locations, see coral reef, feed the fish. We ask how do lunch, water boatmen, if we trust him, extra pay Php1000, he will prepare food and drink, we stop in a small island, you can do a BBQ. Good idea! he paid the Php1000 deposit, arranged with the boatmen on the second day to our hotel at the beach.

This is my first time sat junk voyage, and not, as we see in the TV, the sailboat, pull the handle.

But by the fisherman boat, along with an Assistant, is responsible for qifan, sails etc. Sailing as the previously mentioned "the crab boat", in the sides flank, flanking the same boat with a very strong nylon rope into mesh, we sat on the Internet.

The greatest feeling is the navigation is very smooth and quiet.

Because full is powered by wind, no engine noise, no fast boat as the Braves, but very softly gliding over the water, a very quiet and peaceful feeling. You can sit or put foot into the water, across the warm water; or lie down, looking up at the sky.

The snorkeling, boatman has prepared for our tools and life jackets, snorkeling is feeding the fish in bread and jumped into the water, where the coral shape is different, there are colourful fish suddenly Wai up, grab the eating of bread in my hand.

He also saw two clown fish! most excited, her husband, the son and the diving, the two men after launching, was refused.

At noon, we went to a small island (seems to be called "Crystal Cove"), the boatmen let's wanderaround, go to the bathroom, he and his assistant began to our barbecue.

(Note, this small island to receive tickets, seem Php75 per person in advance must clearly with boatman, fare includes the fee). Essentially, chicken wings, chicken and pork, and from his home of white rice, beer and soft drink Cola. The Boatman told his wife prepares a dipping sauce seasoning. I wonder if it is not really hungry, grilled things taste really good. Then see to another to help tourists, roasted crab and prawns of is. Regret not playing well with the boatman in advance greeting, but also to add to and we are ready to point.

Matters needing attention:

1) sunscreen: prior TU good sunscreen, also took on board.

The sea voyage without cover, without retaining fully exposed, Sun protection is of particular importance.

2) camera: remember in waterproof plastic bag.

The boat has a small cabin can put small items.

3) large towel.

Before going out from the hotel take one to avoid windy, covered with wet, very cool;

4) directly put swimwear on the boat.

3/scuba diving, snorkeling and other water sports

4/night: in the Station 2 set up most of the restaurants, café, bars, various shops and vendors.

Our basic program every evening: dinner-stroll around the shops-bubble. Some have a live band, just find a place to sit or lie down, have a glass of Sangria, look around and go for visitors, all colors, a variety of languages, various dress, so slowly at night. Every day, evening, beach sand with locals start stuffing, technology is a must for the Castle, night spots on candles, don't have a taste. Sand there is a box next to the usual, if you feel good, feel free to give me some tips.

6. shopping

1/Philippine mangoes stem

2/all kinds of gifts are shellfish, etc.;

3/the island there are a couple of home furnishings stores, there is a local style of home furnishings, candlesticks, tableware, fabric, size furniture, small furniture, etc., is worth a visit;
