My acquaintance with the Philippines occurred in August. The hotel was chosen on Boracay Island. The airport did not enter the list of its attractions, so I and I got to the place of our boat holiday from Panay Island. Ten minutes and we are in place.
Boracay, as a welcoming and welcoming owner, gave us a hot welcome in 30 heat degrees and a cloudless sky. For all two weeks that the vacation lasted, the shower were three times. But it was more likely warm and fast, refreshing water treatments, in opposition to our protracted and catching Handra rain. Water is so warm that you can not get out of the clock. What we would have done, if without a variety of excursions and all kinds of entertainment. Although the island and tiny size is only 7km on 4km, which is not built here! All for people: and diving centers, cafes and restaurants, nightclubs. The wife visited the spa salons several times and came from delight, like everyone professionally, praised personnel help. There are many families with children on the beach. The reason for such a mass children's influx is probably in surprisingly soft snow-white sand, crystal clear water and a gentle entrance to the sea.
Not at night, the cocamandos was lit in the Cocamandos Bar. Honored glory, the institution received thanks to the "achievements of" brave, who mastered drinking aged 15 scells of various alcoholic cocktails at a time. Such records were marked by commemorative metal signs with the names of "Heroes". I also wanted to perpetuate my name in such an international bar, but, unfortunately, I did not like the idea of my idea.
The bulk of the hotel is concentrated on one giant beach, which is symbolic divided into three parts of the station. The most noisy and fussy is central. We stopped at the first station. And we went to the second. The most relaxed and secluded hotels were on the eastern outskirts of the island.
More than once looked at the opposite side of the island, just about 30 minutes a little step. That's where the paradise for surfers and kaiter! We did not participate in such entertainments, came simply attempting and imbued with a special atmosphere. They decided that next time I would definitely dedicate the next vacation to the study of surfish wisdom. After all, to more or less learn to stand on the board, you need at least 5 days, better more. Among the coaches there are Russian-speaking, so there will be no problems with learning. And we have met our compatriots-surficists themselves.
But with the immersion we "on you" - there was a practice in the Red Sea. So misuse the opportunity to admire the rich beauty of the South China Sea, our couple was not going. At first they made a bark on the coral reef. The next day, Osmeleev and how to prepared, went to look at the stentered ship and communicate with sharks. The captain took us into the sea, dived directly from the side. The ship was not the romantic wreckage, which painted to me in the imagination: with the remnants of the mast and the wooden case .. No, the ears of the iron silent, covered with a layer of sludge, silently appeared. However, the painting was clarified by the crowds of sinking fishes without fear. The sharks descended in a cage. Especially fear did not experience, however, to pull out the hand for the rod, so that to touch the tooth owners of the sea, did not dare.
Especially remembered the outset on the empty and almost deserted beach of the West Bank. He is famous for his shells, thanks to their beautiful shape, they won the decoration of Elizabeth Taylor. We did not find a single charming wife on the beach on the beach. Probably disassembled everything to us. But from the soul to concern with the waves. High and powerful, they represent a real danger to swimsuchists. But the fastenness is the feeling of the extreme, which you get when after jumping on the crest of one of such waves, convulsively with my legs and hands, from the last strength, choose to a saving beach.
There was also an excursion to the cave. Here we were waiting for a surprise. It is not enough that the descent to the "underground rooms" was not equipped, (and this is with his decent depth and slippery path!), Inside it turned out to be full of livelihood. When the eyes got used to the dusk, we were surprised to find a lot of bats, rather large in size. An indifferent-silent, they looked at us with hundreds of eyes-beads, see, accustomed to visitors.
During the holidays, we managed to make a lot of vacation, sunbathe, ignite the whole island along and across, I did not have to get bored. I also forgot to celebrate delicious dishes from Chinese cuisine in local cafes - prepare for all the rules, very worthy and not expensive.
