QUICK GUIDE BORACAY, PHILIPPINES

BORACAY ISLAND QUICK GUIDE. As I get on the plane from Manila to Boracay, the Philippines’ paradise tourist resort, the bad weather seems to haunt me. I’ve rented a room there already, if nothing else so at least a way of getting away from the hawkers at the airport.
