We traveled from Manila to Boracay recently. It was our first visit since 2004. I was amazed at how much it had changed, the beaches taken over by commercial enterprises and what sand there was left, was crowded by tourists (including us). We visited Puka beach for a day, it was amazing, reminded me of the old Borocay, white sand and blue sea, beautiful.
The weather was very changeable, we had a lot of rain and when the sun did come out it was burning hot. Still we had a great time and got the chance to take plenty of pictures.
