On our frugal attempt, we opted to visit the D'Talipapa to buy some fresh catch of the day.
1) They are quite expensive and the price is monopolized. Imagine that the raw chicken is more expensive than the roasted chicken being sold near the villa. The seafood choices are expensive as well. Crabs are being sold 450-500++ php per kilo. That's why I have mentioned on my first post that if you want seafood you will need to buy from Kalibo or Caticlan first. Kalibo sells 250 php per kilo for crabs. So If you plan to bring home some back to Manila, you might want to do this after your beach trip.
Very well organized. But encounterd few rude sellers like the chicken seller. Must have started his day bad.
Huge prawns.
Huge Pacific Lobsters
Surrounded by souvenir shops, and expensive clothes (ranges from 400-800php) and shirts for bargain 2 for 160-180php
Then in the afternoon it was time to hit the beach again.
In the evening, it was time to go around again and look for a nice dinner.
There are lots of restaurants to choose from. But of course we wanted a taste of fresh sea food and I am still in the look out to be on a budget.
You can even land on a free dinner buffet c/o Astoria Boracay! Which we declined because we had to listen for some 90 minutes or so. =))
Sorry for the blur... but the one that caught my eye at Astoria. Looks lush!
W had dinner at station 2/3 I guess and it was delish. For only 250 pesos you get to have pasta, curry,tuna,shrimp,chicken,spring rolls,crabs,mussles and more. Not bad. Inclusive of unlimited drink.
And so after dinner we walk around more
I just love taking pictures..
And some frogs.
I'm still thinking.. are these real??
So we called it a night. I had Starbucks before heading back to our villa.
The next day was all helmet diving and island hopping and beach stuff.
Im starting to miss the white powdery sand :)
