started the round of photo-ops of course in boat stations 1, 2 and 3 in white beach. immediately compared to all the underrated beaches in our country... found out that white beach sand is as fine as what publicity exactly describe.

since booking via airplane is very expensive though advisable, budget allocation is still a must. i have decided why not experience the land travel from bus to ferry. travel time is really suffering but the expense to be done is really amazing.

Due to enormous booking this peak season, I have to plan an alternative and still cheapest way going to boracay island. This will be my 1st time on visiting this place so though its gamble for everything (accommodations and transpo going back), I still have to use my adventurous and resourceful ability to make it happen.

why i chose land and ferry trip compared to simple booking a plane ticket ?
1. very expensive plane fare
2. road trip and ferry ride adventure
3. i have open time to spare
4. experience strolling from luzon to visayas on difffent types of transpo
5. off-budget for a flashpack
6. observe the Filipino travel cramming habits on Christmas day
