we woke up on our third day in Boracay. After a very lazy day the day before, which was spent lounging and eating to our heart's content, we promised a day of island hopping and seeing neighbouring islets on this day.

we hired a boat, and they took us to crocodile island. (due to the shape of the rocky islet similar to that of a crocodile's shape). it was also the hottest spot for snorkeling due to the abundance of school of fishes in the spot.

everyone went for a snorkel, except myself, Mama and baby Mika.




the rat pack..

Mama was nervous the whole time. she doesnt like having her entire family in one boat (long story). she is one great swimmer my mama, but when talking about the entire family couped up in one boat, there is history she doesnt like. we had to force her to enjoy it.

i miss this little girl..i fell in love with her when i met her. in fact even before meeting her in person.

she made coo-ing noises the whole time. she likes the rocking motion of the boat.

other facets of the island.. karla and myself (bottom R).

snorkellers. can you spot adrian? he couldnt snorkel much as he was so bouyant. it was funny.

why do the youngsters enjoy adventures more? i am such an old person. but thats me.

the waters were choppy and some of the group were getting sick from the choppy waters.

the hired boat toured us around and gave us a 360 degree tour of the island.

we ended up at Pukka beach/islet for some lunch..

private beaches..and on top Right, is the rumored Pacquiao beach house. i could not confirm as the tour guide was very convinced.

the bottom photo is a photo of Shangrila Boracay..its beautiful

trivia: apparently the more secluded Pukka beach was many a times where filipino movies were shot. i can understand, as there were not much people around and there were not much to see, only a vast shore area (not as fine as the sand where we rented our house), and a handful of laidback restaurants.

enjoying photo moments by the sand.

we were famished, when we got there, so we ended up eating loads

our lunch was an array of grilled chicken, and pork belly, sinigang na bangus, and sinigang pork, chicken curry and grilled fish.

after lunch we decided for a little posterity sake at the beach area.

and yes, i still have hundred (photos) coming up from this day..x
