Philippines

While diving in Thailand one time I met up with a Dutch guy living in Hong Kong who didn't stop talking about how wonderful Boracay was. Obviously this rubbed off on me and I decided to see for myself. I flew into Manila where I stayed a few days before flying down to Panay and getting a boat across to Boracay.
