    Thanks Ded, I appreciated your recommendation but didn't make it to Crafty's Bar !

    It was Chinese New Year during our visit, but Mount Luho, Puka Beach, and the north end of White Beach were peaceful. Enjoyed the swimming and snorkelling .

    Thanks Steve, having been to Bohol three times I was curious to try Boracay

    I would be happy to go back again to Boracay, especially in our winter months, but I understand why people have mixed feelings about it.

    Nice pictures and the beach doesn't look crowded
    Was supposed to go there in 1993 but we had an appointment with Mr San Mig the night before and missed our flight

    Nice photo's Alan thanks for sharing...I love the special sunsets from the beach in Boracay and have taken so many photos myself.

    Despite the increased commercialism and crowds it's always a lovely place to visit for us.
    What were your lasting impressions of Boracay Alan?

    Welcome back, Alan ... and thank you for sharing those - and so many other spectacular scenes - ALL superbly captured on camera.

    Thanks for the comments I liked Boracay, my company was great, and I would return there ! Parts of it were very peaceful, like the north end of Station 1 :-




    Elsewhere was certainly busy, not “ typical “ of the Philippines, and I can understand why some would not like that, although we didn't find eating out too expensive :-





    … It WAS Chinese New Year, after all :-

    Thanks for sharing the pics - certainly brings back really happy memories!
    We are heading to the Phils in May and I wanted to try somewhere different so heading to El Nido for a beach break, but Rina is still keen on a trip to Boracay, Tagaytay, Iloilo and Kuala Lumpur in 12 days! I dont think we will be relaxing too much..
