Sugar Rush and Windy Affairs

 
Our third day  in Boracay started of with our search for the legendary Jonah's Shake. One of my friends who has been to the island a lot of times told us not to ever leave without slurping some Jonah's shake. Currently there are two location of this popular  spot, one on the main road and other is in the beachfront near Willy's rock. We decided to go the beachfront since the ambiance is more enjoyable there. It is actually a long walk from our place and the high tide also made it even harder to pass by the beach.

Finally
We went in and quite surprised that there were only a few customers at that time.  The place is relatively small but the colorful and bright colors made it up for the lack of space.  We only ordered fries, mango crepe and shake since we ate a lot in our hotel. The fries was the first to arrived then followed by the crepe. After a few minutes we finally got our shake.

The shake was really delicious and extra creamy. Quite pricey for a shake, but eventually we find ourselves having difficulty to consume it all.  Indeed no trip to Boracay is complete without trying Jonah's shake.

We eventually had our stomach full after our early merienda. We decided to walk around town to get to know a little bit of the Aklanons besides the usual beach bumming. First stop was the Holy Rosary Parish Church at the towns plaza. it isn't as big as other churches in the country but it does have the "church" feel on it.

Another popular beach in Boracay would be Bulabog beach aka as the Kite Mecca, it is located on the east side of the Boracay (opposite of White Beach). Most of the windsurfers and kite-boarders enthusiast take advantage of its steady winds during the months of November and April.

Through the years, Bulabog has put the stamp on the world map as one of the top windsurfing and kite-boarding beaches in Asia. It is less developed compare to that of the White Beach but it's worth it going there. The sun was scorching hot when we walked around Bulabog beach good thing our friends bound to Manila want to meet us up for lunch at D'Mall. 

Walking back to D'Mall
We skipped on the lunch thanks to the merienda we had earlier. After a few chitchats we head to Boracay Showdown in D'Mall to play some shoot around We bid goodbye to our friends since their flight  is in Kalibo  and go back to our hotel.
