Other stuff in Boracay

Snorkeling and feeding fish. There are dozens kinds of fish. They all come nibbling on my hands. Hurts a bit. Free exfoliation.






Someone came up with this idea of doing "still standing after 15" at Cocomangas, a local bar. Basically, anyone or any group who takes all 15 shots on the menu gets their names on a plaque on the wall and a T-shirt.





Here are the 15...







15 gone.







Me after the 15... Nah... I did only one, "Chico's Surprise," in honor of my first car. The bailey in it tastes good, but it's gotta be 40% proof or stronger. Took me more than an hour to finish the thing.









The Flying Fish. It's a fan-shaped raft where we sit at one end. The other end goes way up in the air when they start dragging us with a boat. To quote a friend, it's the marine version of the bucking bronco. Lots of fun. Especially when I was one of the only two who didn't fell. Hehe.



Parasailing. One of the several things that I really wanted to do until I tried it. The view is awesome.







Unfortunately, it drifts like a boat does, so after some 5 minutes, I was all ready to puke. Couldn't wait to get back to the boat (?! like it'd help...). Glad I did it, but no one can ever make me do it again.





Wet market. Where we get all the tasty food.








A make-shift walk way in a flooded alley. It seems to flood a lot in Boracay after rain.










Wind shields stores use. This is really clever. Light, effective and easy to move around.







The entrance of our resort. The hotel is clean and not too crowded, just the way I like it. The only thing is that they don't have steady supply of hot water and I really don't take cold showers well.
