After we checked in, we decided to walk down the shops. Our hotel was Astoria Boracay, located at Station 1, where all the water activities and shops are. We walked down and found d-mall, the so-called shopping centre for Boracay. When I read about it online, I was expecting it to be a building but no, it's just shops located together on the ground floor. There's a Ferris wheel and a rock climbing wall in the middle but I doubt its operating. There's shops as well as restaurants but there's also restaurants down the streets of station 1.




We went for the land activities the next day. It was a package that my mom went to some booth along the street, which includes activities for the next two days. So we went to ride the ATV/Buggy, and I had an ATV to myself. We were supposed to follow the guide up the mountain, the highest in the island. I've got mud over myself even before we left the shop LMAO. It was due to the rain the day before so we're quite lucky that it didn't rain that day.


Once we reached the viewing tower, where we had to pay to gain entry and climb sky high stairs up with my slippers, the view was amazing~ Even though we had to pay to gain entry, everything is cheap but you've to pay for everything. All the activities were located at the same mountain, I only realized it after we've ended all our land activities, either they're smart or its a tourism strategy man.



And then we rode the ATV down to the place we zip-lined. It wasn't as awesome as expected. Oh well. 

We rode down to the place where we played the zorb, it's simply a big ball and it tumbles down a slope. We climbed sky high stairs to the place where we're supposed to go into the zorb again with my slippers. I swear it takes like 5 minutes to get up and less than 30 seconds to get down. It was filled with water inside so we got wet even before it went down the slope. I was so determined not to tumble down but no, it's impossible guys. You'll just tumble around inside the zorb. And because I was in it with my sister, I got elbowed in my stomach and I just gave up. LOL. And so we're drenched from the zorb and WE HAD TO RIDE DOWN TO THE SHOP. What is this man.

We took a bus back to our hotel where all the water activities were. The weather was so hot, the ice-cream we ordered melted so quickly. :< So my siblings went to para-sailing, which was only open to two. Next time, I'll get to do para-sailing okay.

After that, we've ended our agreed activities with the guide so we decided to soak ourselves in the water before heading back to the hotel and wash up. Even though the beach was awesome, I didn't see any sea-shells that wasn't chipped. Or maybe it was too hot I decided not to look for them in that weather.


We bathed and my parents & my brother went for a massage while me and my sister went for a facial. My face feels like shit after that so, never go for a facial in Boracay. For dinner, we went to Sand bar, a high class dining on the beach. The food prices were so expensive, I guess it was because for the fire dance performance that they have. They even seal up their place with cloth before the performance. Exclusive much. The food was so oily, and I had diarrhea even before the trip so the food worsen it that I puked that night. And then my brother puked on the third night. So, be prepared for really oily food!


The so called last day of the trip, it was drizzling. We had a private boat to ourselves, where it will take us for some island hopping. Which was nothing much, because the only island we went was for the cliff jumping lmao. 

So the boat first took us to a place for snorkeling, where other tourists where too, in-front of some island. The corals were so near, I kept kicking them and it hurts. TT The view wasn't amazing if you had been to Maldives for snorkeling. The best part was, we had to pay 20 pesos per person to snorkel there. It was cheap but it was the first time I hear that we have to pay to snorkel in the open waters lmao.
