Round the world in 7 months
Philippines: Boracay
Boracay is still one of my favourite places though you can get "Schnitzel" and "Gulasch" now. It's a very small island with a great beach and you can only get there by boat. There is no foodbridge so you have to walk through the water to get there. The reason why I still like it is because you can have everything. You can dance the night away to party music or you can sit in a small bar with soft or no music right on the beach. You can eat "Cordon blue" but also a whole fresh fished grilled right in front of you. You can meet a lot of people but you can also spend a whole day and night alone if you like. I rent a motorbike for 4 hours but I needed it only for two because the island is so small. So though there are a lot of people, many bars and restaurants, sometimes algae in the water and all the other disadvantages of a tourist place it's still a kind of magic over there, I would call it: The magic of an island!
