The Phillipines...Exotic Boracay...


Consisting of 7000 islands, the Philippines can boast of good opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. Favorite places for these sessions - Boracay, Alona Beach, Bohol, Puerto Princesa in Palawan and the island of Apo. Fans can go canoeing on the river Pagsanhan, 70 km south-east of Manila. If this place looks familiar, it means that you will remember Coppola film "Apocalypse Now", some of the shots that were filmed on this river. Cave explorers can explore the Underground River in Palawan, stretching for 8 km network of caves.

Language which is spoken here: the Tegalo, but English is understood, too.
Do not drink the water. US dollar - is the most recognized currency in the Philippines, and easier (and cheaper) to swap than checks.

Boracay - one of the 7 000 islands, which is located in the Philippines. This place has the right to be called "the most beautiful beaches in the world," White Beach Borakeya really deserves to be, you looked at him. The island width of 1 km length of 7 km. On this island is accessible only by boat or bank (outrigger) from the neighboring islands by name Kataklan. On a white sandy beach of feeble breeze blows cool, but on the other side of the wind is much stronger. Boracay is good for beginners, because there are shoal. We must take a few hundred feet from the shore, that would reach the depth. New users should not leave the shelter in the Gulf, because it can be dangerous. The beach itself is constantly littered with debris due to the many different storms, so be careful with the launch of a snake.

For advanced kiteboarders there is convex reef, which creates a good wave. This huge mass of sea urchins, lovers can hunt for them. Also remember that in the outflow of water sticking out the top of the hidden coral, which can break your boat or you can pile up fast, and you'll have to wait for the tide that would swim back. There is a local windsurfing school, who sit in their rental equipment. They will be able to advise you at what time do a better surf. Intermediate and advanced kaitery can get to the other bays, which can be accessed only through the sea.

The only thing to watch out here - are women. Because some women are not really women ... Transsexuals are also found in the Philippines.

In general, Boracay - is a big kaitery playground. People here are very friendly.

Nightlife

Here, restaurants satisfy all international tastes. Let this small island, but it has everything! There are night clubs and bars that are open all night. All the festivities take place at the "top" white beach. Food is not expensive, and fresh seafood simply excellent. When ordering a cocktail, the bartender usually comes out of the bar, climbs up a nearby tree and takes out a coconut to make it a cocktail for you. You haven't tried something better in your life!

Transportation

The island is really small, just 1 kilometer wide and 7 miles long. You can very easily pass on a bicycle or bike the whole island and enjoy its beauty. Local transportation is a bicycle with a sidecar. They go everywhere, and they are really cheap. And once again want to remind you do not agree on the first bid.
