Boracay, Philippines

Boracay is a resort island. We tendered, after long delay, having to turn the ship around due to high wind and choppy water, high swells.

We took the hop-on-hop-off bus ($5!) to Station 2 which is White Sands Beach. We walked through "D'Mall," stopping at the Hobbit Tavern. It's a nice bar, staffed by little people. I tried our hotspot again, after not being able to get it to work since Singapore, and it worked! Wayne was able to get his long- desired San Miguel beer and we shared some calamari.

Back to the ship, and dinner at Cagney's.Read more
