ATI-ATIHAN PARADE!
ATI-ATIHAN in Boracay.





Strange Outfit :-0





Neat Costumes :-).





It was fun looking at the ATI-ATIHAN festival parading up and down the beach. I just wish they didn't start the parade so early in the morning - 6:00 am! Specially when you've just hit the sack at 5:30 am after a night of dancing and clubing ;-). The ATI-ATIHAN Parade went on till 10:00 pm. Lots of rhytmic sounds, drum beats, whistles, colorful costumes, local people, dancing, street traffic, heavy drinking, and partying involved at the ATI-ATIHAN Parade :-).

Gabby, Tyler, Ryan, and Diana on their way back to Willy's Boracay Beach Resort via Tricycle.

This Map illustrates the areas and routes the ATV Guide will take you around Boracay Island. We explored Puka-Shell Beach, Mt. Luho, Diniwid Beach, Ilig-Iligan Beach + other Beaches.


My Lucky # 13 ATV. SWEET MACHINE!



I will definitely recommend G1 ATV - Island ATV Rentals to explore Boracay Island.




From Willy's Boracay Beach Resort you have to take approximately a 20 - 30 minute Tricycle ride to get to the ATV Rental place.


DINIWID BEACH
We had a "FUN"tastic day exploring Boracay Island via ATV :-).

We were going to explore the island via horse back riding. I'm really glad we decided to "giddy up" on an ATV instead ;-).






L to R: Gabby, James, Katherine, and me.

My nephew Matthew and me all strapped and ready to go up :-).


Up, Up, and Away We Go!

This photo shows me taking a picture of the boat. I'm glad I didn't drop my camera ;-). I found floating up in the sky to be quite peaceful and very relaxing. I could have fallen asleep, it's like being on a hammock. It was fun when the wind tilted us from side to side. Looking at the view of Boracay Island from up in the sky was truly spectacular.

Gabby snorkeling in Crocodile Island, Boracay.

This guy is selling some fresh "Buko" or Coconut Juice along Crocodile Island and he will deliver it to your "Banka" or Boat.

Cocomangas Club is frequented more by the locals and by a few tourists. Jonathan and I sure met a lot of strange and bizzarre creatures in this club. It's also known for the "Still Standing After 15..." Shooters Wall of Fame which you get a Cocomangas T-Shirt and your name printed on a plaque posted on the wall. Dennis this will be a piece of cake for you ;-).

Notice the 1st Shooter is a Canadian Praire Fire :-). Well I've had one of this concoctions before and it sure packs a powerful punch ... Burn Baby Burn! The owner of Cocomangas you guessed it is a Canadian.
