Good morning from Boracay beach
Before I show you how beautiful Boracay is there is something I have to put into
this video because only a few days after I left
Boracay they closed the island to tourists now this had been expected and
was threatening and basically by the president, president Duterte of the
Philippines had warned that they had to clean up the act in terms of the tourism
had boomed so much on Boracay and the corresponding development hadn't gone
with it like sewage, clean water licensing of a lot of places so they tried to crack
down and warn them and he warned them that it was gonna happen but they didn't
clean up their act enough the local municipalities and the businesses so he
closed the island to tourism and that's gonna be for six months until the end of
2018 Boracay will be closed to tourists now the idea is they're gonna go up
they're gonna clean up all these messes, put in new sewage clean it
up so that it can be preserved for the future which is a brilliant thing so
although currently Boracay is closed in 2018 from the middle of the year to
almost the end of the year that's what they estimate they said six months I'm still going
to show you the beauty that I saw while I was there so let me take you for a
spin around Boracay like it was then and when you go and when I go back it'll
be even more beautiful so come on, let's enjoy Boracay.
And come evening time in Boracay you are spoiled for choice as to what to do and
where to eat you can come and chill in a place like this where you can sit on the
beach all those restaurants cafes bars entertainment plenty to do and plenty to
choose from of all different kinds spread right along the beach from station 3 I'm
in station 2 at the moment right after station 1 all different kinds of food
all different kinds of prices there is some fast food cheaper restaurants as
well because obviously eating on the beach the food isn't going to be the
cheapest if you go into the mall there's also some cheaper food as well you're
obviously not sitting on the beach now I chose tonight since it's my last night
both in Boracay and the Philippines to find me a nice
quiet table on the beach and this is my table for tonight
the food was really good now it's time to wander along the beach
I was hoping Boracay used to be famous for its fire dancers so I don't know if I'm
just err at the wrong, not late enough, but I haven't seen any yet they
have been making some changes in Boracay to the way that it's set up to try and
clean it up and make it a bit more tourist friendly and environmentally
friendly I'm going to wander down the beach I'm going through station 2 now
wander down see if there's any life going on
now as you make your way out of station 2 towards station 3 you'll
notice it gets noticeably quieter there's less cafes and restaurants less
people station 3 is probably the quietest end of the place that's why I
choose to say that if we stay in station 2 you're in the middle of the action
yep but be prepared to have quite a lot of music going on until quite late at
night and don't get a beach front window in station 2 you'll be overlooking all
the action and get all the noise so don't pay extra and get a beachfront I
prefer to stay in station 3 it's a little bit further walk up, helps me digest my
meal and I get a nice quiet night's sleep
I'm back home, well home for the night anyway
evening how we doing good good
ood night sleep well
