Boracay, Day 2

Aloha Everyone,

MÖVENPICK promotes its property as RESORT & SPA BORACAY. Of 250 plus accommodations, this property is among the top 10. There are a few European and American hotels whose prices are 3-4 times more for a comparable size room. Our room is inclusive of buffet breakfast. It’s a novelty for many visitors to sit at a dining table with ocean or pool views.








Trying to find a healthy and safe food, I had 2 hard boiled eggs and porridge. J.J.’s plates were more interesting.




There’s no avoiding riding TukTuk. Crudely fashioned, the seats have little padding and since there’s no suspension to absorb bumps on the road.  Add to that bad driving. Seatbelts, no such things. You have to cling onto a metal rod behind the driver for your dear life.








We met Davey, one of JJ’s friends from the expat forum. Lively conversation of his personal life experiences and how he eventually found himself in Boracay. We agreed that life is short and enjoy life where every day is relaxing. Looking at fabulously beautiful sea with our feet on sand, Davey said you can find similar places in the world but here in Boracay, it was still affordable to purchase a flat. He purchased his 4 years ago. 



The two of us had enough TukTuk rides for the day. I took a hot shower then we dined at the Italian restaurant. We were both starving, so we found Seafoods Pasta satisfying. Looking for something sweet, J.J. and I stopped by to purchase chocolate chip cookie at the deli for dessert.



Aloha -- Cathi
