Puka Beach Time

Overall, today was another do nothing day for the most part. One of the guys in our group suggested checking out another beach called Puka Beach on another part of Boracay Island.

There aren't actual taxis on this island,  you either jump on a motorbike or you take the tricycles which is a motorbike with a side car attached. The 5 of us squished onto a tricycle with me riding behind the driver

We got to the beach within 15 minutes and I have to say that it was exactly what I wanted. There were barely any people, it was not commercialized at all like the beach that was by our hostel and the view was beautiful because we just got there a few minutes before sun set.


My cuts have healed a bit so I decided to just jump in the water , it was really  nice and all of us enjoyed ourselves. I'm really glad we came here because I was feeling a little overwhelmed by how touristy Boracay was so it was nice to just get out of the crowds and watch the sun set.

Kelvin, Daniel, and Christopher are leaving tomorrow to new places so I'm kind of bummed that our new travel group is splitting up but I'm hopeful that we can all keep in touch and maybe travel the next time I'm back in Asia. I just meet the coolest people on these trips, it's great!

Sidenote: I'm really glad the guy I asked to take this picture knew what he was doing because anything could have made this really nice scene not turn out. Asking a stranger to take a picture with an SLR is one of the drawbacks of owning one I guess lol
