March 25th, 2010 - Boracay Picnic: The Perfect Summer Getaway
I’m pretty sure that people must’ve heard the place called Boracay in the Philippines by now. It’s a very popular place where the sun is shining brightly all year long, where the waves are perfect for surfing and the sand is as white as powder. With all that, it’s been a perfect place for tourists and beach goers for a swim or simply for a picnic. I prefer going there to do everything.
Seeing the turquoise water wash up in the shore makes me want to go in to its crystal clear water and take a dip. I do more than just a dip. I take a plunge and enjoy it for hours. While you’re in the water, you can view the wide stretch of the beach with a lot of people sunbathing, kids are playing, some people are having a good and relaxing massage while they doze off and what I notice is that a lot of people are eating their packed lunch.
If you’re on a budget, I suggest that you bring packed lunch instead of buying food from the stores at the beach front because you’ll have a hard time looking for affordable food there. Most are charging double for their goods. I know. This happens everywhere but what can we do. That is why I am telling you that it is smarter to bring your own food. If you really don’t like carrying a lot of stuff to the beach, then you can look for some stores that don’t sell their merchandise as if you’re paying for everything. To be fair with the vendors, there are some who stick with the original price of their commodities and they keep it that way because people buy from them. You can also bring a small thermos to keep your coffee hot when you drink it by the shore.
It’s really very dramatic when you and your friends go on a picnic and you choose the beach as your picnic venue. Good memories as well as lasting ones are made in this tiny island. Once the sun is about to set, you’ll see everybody scampering to get their cameras ready to take photos of themselves and their loved ones with the sunset as the background. I have one of those, too.
It’s actually a must for just about every traveler who goes to Boracay to have at least one pictures taken with the sunset. When the night comes, this is when the party starts. Well, the party begins just before the sun sets but the fire dancers come out at night to make it more exciting.
The beach front still has lights so you you don’t have to worry about having a dark picnic by the beach. They’re going to bring you fire lamps that you will be able to lay on the sand as continue with your picnic. Don’t fret. The beach picnic will not end there. As long as you’re on vacation, you can easily have your picnics on the sand as much as you want.
