We started the day bright and early. The room package we got had free breakfast but the problem is they serve it by delivering it to your room so it usually arrives late. So if you have a plan to go out early, it will be ruined by the late breakfast. On our first day, we really forced them to allow us to eat at their resto. I had the tapsilog which was too sweet for my taste and my friend got the tocilog which was delicious.

After that we walked by the beach to look for the cheapest helmet diving we could find. And here is where we met Kuya Ariel. We got the helmet diving at 600php/ person which we think was cheap considering it was a peak season, but we heard stories that you could get it for as low as 350php/person on non-peak days. We went to station 1 for the starting point of the dive but unfortunately they were fully booked so we went back all the way to station 3, so in a way we got a short, fast tour of Boracay haha. Kuya Ariel was very accommodating and nice and he even offered to pick us up after the dive and pick up our CD pictures after.

The helmet diving was fun! It was a bit scary at first because of the pressure going down causing your ears to pop but at the bottom it was ok. There were some fishes and corals but I think they were just placed there for the tourist's pleasure. Nothing still compares to the reef of Palawan. The whole dive was supposed to be 15 mins, but since we were the last one to go down, we only took around less than 10mins, madaya. It was a fun experience but I wouldn’t repeat it again unless it’s in Palawan.

After that we swam at the beach but it was irritating because there were a lot of moss in the water. It ruins the beauty of it. I really hope the local government would do something about it because a lot of tourists are complaining about it.
 |
We had our lunch at Bite Club located at D'mall. We ordered the Burgerella plus potato wedges which costs 260php. It was a great burger! Really juicy and the bun was soft. You can even choose the sauce to add on it, for example you could have the mozzarella or the peppersteak sauce. It was probably the best food that I ate in our whole stay.

After that we went to Real Coffee to experience their famous Calamansi Muffin but it was out of stock at that time. They should bake a lot since it is peak season and there are a lot of tourists. It was really frustrating. We ended up ordering the Iced Mocha (140php) and a Banana muffin (50php). The muffin was a bit dry and I didn’t enjoy it that much because I was really looking forward to the calamansi muffin. Anyway, after that we went back to the guesthouse to just rest. We did not try out the island hopping because there were some feedbacks that it wasn’t that fun, and also because we already had our huge share of island hopping in Palawan.

In the afternoon we tried out swimming in the beach in front of station 2 but again we got turned off fast by the moss found in the shore. They were literally everywhere. So we just enjoyed the sunset and took some pictures.

We had dinner at Don Vito Restaurant. They serve mostly Italian food. We ordered the Meat Lover Pizza (350php) and the Carbonara (320php). The carbonara was delicious, very creamy. Watch out for their huge service charge though haha.

 |
After that we went out to explore Station 1. Our goal was to find The Sitio. Unfortunately, we were already at the end of station 1 and we were not able to find it. We found out the next day that it was located at the back near the road haha. So, a tip in exploring Bora, bring the map given to you at the port, it is very useful.

 |
Anyway, we ended up trying out the popular Jonah's shakes. No offense to anyone, but I don’t think it’s the best shake in Bora. Or maybe we just got there at a bad time. My friend tried the mango shake which was too sour, and I tried the Choco Banana Peanut Butter shake which was too sweet.

It’s also very fun to explore station 1 at night because the beach is at high tide, so you would suddenly find yourself walking in the water almost knee deep to reach the other side haha. We also saw the Cocomangas bar which is known for their 15 shooters and illusion shaker. I really wanted to try the 15 shooters but when we got there, the place is packed with people so we opted to not go in (anti-social kami eh haha). After a very long, tiring walk to the end of Station 1 and back, we collapsed at our bed for the next adventure to come.
