The third part of our Boracay trip is scribbled below. You may check out Day 1 and Day 2 if you haven't seen those posts yet.
So here's day 3.
We started our day with a light breakfast of bread and cheese spread we bought from a local store. The resort offers free coffee in the morning so we took advantage of this. After eating, we headed to the front beach and started another beach bumming. Our tour for the day was scheduled to start at 1PM so we have enough time to swim and soak up the sun.
This time we stayed in the water until our skin hurt. The view was very stunning that all of us can't get enough of it. I mean, look at those pictures! Ain't that one heck of a view? Swimming... swimming...swimming...
It was around 11AM when we finally decided to put a halt on swimming and go back to the resort to clean up. Then, we were back at Michaela's to eat our lunch. A simple rice with munggo, menudo and adobo by the beach. A bottle of soda after meal have completed our savory feast.
Around 1PM when we started walking towards Kuya Nonoy's post in station 2. We were greeted by Gab who have guided us throughout the tour.
Our first stop, ATV ride with Truck Art. A quick orientation and safety instruction on how to maneuver the vehicle was done before the tour started. I was nervous about the thought of driving an ATV on a highway at first but hey, what do you know! I was a natural! I easily got the hang of it and it was smooth driving from then on.
The destination of our ATV tour was the Ocean Tower View Point where you could see the whole island of Boracay. Going there, we drove on a paved road and were presented with a nice view of the ocean along the way.
We asked a lady to take a picture of us three by the tower's entrance. I thought there was some lift to get us on top but there's none so we had to climb our way up. It's kinda extra challenge walking up the steep stairs. So I had to pose my victorious pose when I reach the last step and to the platform.
We were welcomed by a fiber statue of Doreamon overlooking the ocean. A few more metal stairs after and we were on top of the tower along with other tourists, most of them Koreans. There are two telescopes on the tower (both were defective), a customized chair for taking pictures and there was this photographer who will ask you to strike a pose and tell you that pictures will be available on the tourist desk below. Later we found out that they charge a huge-jaw-dropping amount of four thousand pesos for these picture packages!!! A freaking huge and unreasonable amount! Oh well, it's more fun in the Philippines because of this, I guess.
We stayed for 10 minutes checking out the whole place before we started descending back to Truck Art terminal. Our next activity was Sky Cycling. A total workout ride! You have to pedal your way through the track under the scorching heat of the sun. Boom instant sunburn!
Next, the 3D museum where they feature painting that would look like you're part of it when picture is taken. Different paintings can be found inside, from cartoons, animals, Santa Clause and even Pacquiao.
We followed up our museum tour with a quick visit to the small aviary found in the same place. They also have this humongous-domesticated-friendly monitor lizard you can carry for a photo shoot.
The final activity of the day is the adrenaline-pumping zorb ball. From where the Truck Art is located, we traveled about 10 minutes to reach Zorb Park Boracay. When we get there we saw several Korean nationals climbing towards the platform where the big ball is being launched. They have two type of going down the hill, wet and dry. A person will be strapped inside the ball for the dry zorbing and for wet, the inside of the ball needs to be filled with about two buckets of water.
So yes, we went back to station 2 dripping wet after the zorb experience. It was so much fun and tiring at the same time. The third night marks our last night in Boracay so we went back to the resort to change and then checked out what's for dinner at Michaela's.
Day 4
The following morning, Southwest was scheduled to pick us up by 1PM for our travel back to Caticlan. We spent the whole morning looking for souvenirs and pasalubong. We went from D'Talipapa to D'Mall to find things to be brought home.
We mostly chilled through the rest of our time in the resort while waiting for Southwest. It's time to go home. Our vacation had ended. However, I know that it's not our last in Boracay. I'll be visiting the island again. When? I'm not sure but what's definite is I'll be back. Solo, with friends, with my partner...
Who knows!

been to Boracay twice, both are week-long vacations but I've never been to 3D museum. I really wish to experience it on my next visit. You seem to have a very good time there :)
ReplyDeleteYup! It was so much fun! It was actually my first time to see paintings like these so we took so many pictures, posing from one painting to the other. This is a cool side trip you may try when in Boracay. Let me know your experience if ever you get to try this in your next trip to the island.
