What to do to kill boredome in Boracay

For my four days now in Bora, boredome hasn't struck me yet. Strolling on the beach with a special someone, from station 1 to station 3 is fascinating. I usually have leg pains at night, but last night after the long walk, pains forgot to attack me.

But for those who want to brave the waters of Boracay there are plenty of water activities to do. Island tour commencing at 10 am and ends before 5pm costs php 500 to 600 per person. It already includes buffet lunch and unlimited snacks. Snorkeling at the coral garden is included on the package. Glass bottom boating is also a good choice which costs php 700 per person, snacks included. Helmet diving for the more adventurous yet aren't prepared for a scuba dive, costs php 700.

Jet ski, para-sailing, speed boating, banana boating --various choices of water sports and activities. But for those who just like to walk on the long stretch of white beach, you can savour the moment with a hair braid which costs php 200 to 300; or henna tattoo which costs php 100 up.

Just let me remind you that costs for these activities, just like that of the resort accommodations varies in season. January is considered a peak season, but there is what they call the super peak which is the summer time. So expect the price to double if you come here in March.

You can also shop around for souvenirs --anklets and bracelets starts at php 10, earings made of shells at php 30 up. There is also a foot bikini for php 50.

We lost our room key and paid php 800!

On our way to Isla Bonita Resort this monring to pay our deposit before we finally transfer, we lost our Fat Jimmy's room key!

My husband tried his best to locate it by going back to where we walked, unfortunately he couldn't find it. Without any choice, he was forced to pay for the lost key. And though the one-pager leaflet in our room says it cost php 300 on lost key, we found out that since the key is attached to a keychain, we are charged php 1000! The staff gave us discount, and we ended up paying php 800. Indeed very precious keychain! This becomes a lesson to us -- always leave the keys on the resort when you leave your room.
