BORACAY is known as one of the party island of Philippines! There are lots of lovely white sand beaches, resort hotels and tons of water sports. The Bay was like a lake, when the waters aren't being stirred up by Typhoons. Their is an international airport across the Bay in Catalan and lots of ferry and speed boats, ushering visitors in daily.
We took an electric tuk tuk ( the taxi of the island) into the middle or station two, of the island, to explore the beach scene, shopping and have some lunch. There was lots to choose from; we were drawn into an Indian place, Little Taj, by the delicious smells!

Somewhere in the South China Sea, i n a galaxy far, far away ... was the Odyssey and a bunch of fun loving travelers....who had an idea for a fun cocktail party!
Yesterday we joined in with many of our fellow residents to take in some of the many water spots around Coron . We signed up through Get Your Guide, others used Trip Advisor and they both contracted with Psalms Travel Services in Coron. As I've explained before, figuring out our excursions in each port, is a big time suck for me. We prefer to find local venders without having to go through the big agencies (because you usually can get better service, pricing and customization) but sometimes it is just easier to stick with the big guys, when the excursion is super popular. Psalms turned out to be an excellent operator and I laughed when I saw they had used the below images on their Facebook page today. Didn't realize my pink dry bag stood out so much!
We are currently docked at the port of CORON , in the Palawan archipelago islands, of the Philippines . While the port itself is nothing special, and the surrounding town is hardly thriving, the people here are amazingly friendly, joyful and so happy to be around! You can see from below, they have a ton of hotels and restaurants but mostly it's their water actives that attract a fair number of tourist. Known for their crystal clear water, dramatic limestone cliffs and powdery white sand beaches. June is the start of the rainy season, but so far the weather has been good.
