Boracay Island Chapter 2 (Mount Luho - Bulabog & My Birthday!)

That morning 2nd November, we woke up, the sun seems very happy with us on the island :P . Our tour agent already awaited us as usual. I already had my 3 in 1 coffee in my room.

View from our room in Alla Luna Rossa.

Luna Rossa!

Our first destination was Happy Dreamland. Our main reason here to Mount Luho is to ride the ATV, but we were early for our turn, so we went to this park first. The fee for this park is around RM10 i guess. Actually from our hotel, we used a tricycle here, all in the day package.

In the park, we went to the 3D paintings museum first. Its good for pictures, very unique. There's einstein, waterfalls, james bond, spiderman paintings and lotss more. I took few photos, hihihihi :

Santa take me home!

Dreamgirls, lol

row row your boat!

u wont win dragon, i am toothless!

After we satisfied with all the photos we took, we went to the mini zoo. they have this mini zoo for some animals that can be found in Boracay like peacock, lizards and others.

hello there, i am a peacock

U can hold the lizard, most ppl find it slimy and yuck..but i like it, they're very cute..hahahaha. after me, the korean girl was screaming when holding the lizard, hahaha..so funny.

dare? hihi

After the mini zoo, we ride the bicycle coaster, i friggin dunno what its called. But it was quite dangerous, u pedal the thing and it move on the tiny rail. The rail is long and bout 5-7 meters high from the ground. Safety is very less. I would not recommend it for ppl who fear of heights. The ride took bout 10 minutes. The park also have some playground and stuff. I think i saw haunted house too. oh well.

It was our turn for ATV, yeay! We get ready, with helmet, i got blue ATV. There will be a leader and we will follow him to the top. He showed us how to handle ATV. Our group consist of i think 15-10 ppl . Before u go, the guy will take a photo of u, obviously they gonna sell it later if u want. As ist not east to take to hold a phone on ATV. But we took a photo before we took off..hehehe :P

The ride start and we vroom away our ATV up to the mountain, hilly. Some ride fast, some ride slow..we pretty much average. There were boys filled with adrenaline, there were girls scared of falling..hihi. U cant race, that was the main rules..but i saw boys still racing among them..meh. If u turn to the right more than u should, it cannot move cos it'll be stuck..slow turn is the key. It was shaking, my whole body was shaking, hahahah..so extreme. around 20 minutes of riding vrooming :P , we reach Ocean Tower Boracay.

the stairs to Mount Luho

Those who want to spend time here, can spend around 20mins..if not, u ride back down. We parked and climb the stairs to the tower. It was lovely!, the view of the beach is sooo pretty from the tower, Puka Beach.

Puka Beach!

They also have this photographer who took photo of you and they will sell it to you if you are interested. I was posing and jumping, hihihi..the photographer said 'u can take good photo, very photogenic' ...kikiki..blush . We enjoyed our time at Ocean Tower Boracay.

Free Your Mind, like a pad ad my friend said, meh?

They even upload their pics in their FB page after several days, so u can just save it to ur files from there. But i did buy 1 photo, just around 3 - 5 ringgit.  We ride back down to the place we started after that. Our tour agent already awaited us.

We take tricycle to Bulabog beach, our next destination. Bulabog beach is on the other side of the island. Our tour agent said, during August. the wave on the white beach is high, so most water sports will transfer to this side. This beach during November and the rest is famous with Kite Surfing. It was the first time i saw people do kite surfing.

U can take classes too, learn how to do it. We walk along the beach, i saw some abandoned villa, what a waste, very pretty. And there are lots hotel too on this side. As usual, photoholic..lmao!

We also walk along the narrow road of the hotels and B&B around that area. There was also thi B&B called The lazy dog..hihihi

After we spent time here, we ride back to our hotel as our tour was over. Our tour agent recommend us some clubs to hangout and he can bring us there, we said we will contact him. He was originally from Cebu actually. We were tired and need drinks, we went to D*mall and had our lunch together with Buko Shake. Delicious, the buko shake, in english in coconut shake. My fav drink in Boracay so far.

Buko Shake!

After that, we went back to hotel and rest. At about 6.30PM we went swimming in front of the hotel...hahahhaha...cos people were in the beach that night, so we soak ourselves in the beach as well, lol first time in my life i swim by the beach at night. Not really swimming as i don't know how to swim, hihi.

We actually asked the guy that drive us to hotel on the 1st day about transportation back to kalibo airport. He said, we need to buy it at the Southwest office. Aisshh we did not know that we need to but that the first day we come here. remember okay, if u wanna go, buy the return trip the same day u arrived so u wont be rushing here n there. We took the tricycle and he drop us in front of the office. We buy the return trip, same price. We need to be in front of the hotel at 6AM, great!...

That night i put on the white dress i bought from the muslim lady for last night at Boracay, cos tomorrow is my Birthday! hihi..yea i was born on 3rd Nov 19 krik krik...not gonna tell u :P. We walked around D'talipapa first as we need to buy souvenirs .

D'talipapa

D'talipapa is the best place to buy, cos it was cheaper than other places, lots of choices. Kak Ani as usual buy lots of shirts for his colleague and friends, i was like 'kak ani, omg when will u finish'..hihi..until he went to the toilet and vomit..yep true story, shop till u vomit, new tagline :D .

Boracay Tshirts

bags, accessories, watever u want, they have

I was looking for the carved coral stone they sell, i saw one previously but i didnt buy. Now i wanna buy and i cant seem to find one. meh...I also bought a sling bag with a lizard pic on it, still lizard..lol. and some dried mangos (with halal Philippine logo) for my friends.

i love my lizard bag :)

Dried mango and other traditional snacks

After the shopping and the hunt for Southwest office, that late night, we went to one beach bar, watching firedance while having juices,

and kak ani bought me a cupcake for my birthday! 12 o'clock, 3rd November happy birthday to me!  I also made this necklace with my name on it, handcrafted.

sunburned me , cupcake and coconut juice

12 o'clock! happy Birthday!

We head back to hotel after that, and had a nice sleep in. well me, Kak Ani was talking to the bellboy downstairs. that morning 3rd November, at 6AM the van waited for us at the lobby, i have to push Kak Ani to move faster as he always late. the van bring us to the Boracay Jetty (bye boracay!), and we loaded into the boat and to Caticlan Jetty. From there, we ride another southwest van to Kalibo. We checked in for flight AA to Manila, it was delayed for 1.5 hour bcos they face some problem with something. People were asking the stewardess..feel bad for her as its not her fault. We finally get on out flight to Manila...see you in my next post Manila!
