Murder of "Feilin" -- March's journey to Long Beach Island
The winter in Nanjing is a long nightmare for those of us who like summer, wet and cold air, dead sky, boring hibernation life, no! Don't live like this any more! We must fly to the tropical island to swim!
We use the fastest speed: apply for leave - book air tickets, hotel transfer plane - apply for Visa - apply for insurance - pack up. I'm still not excited after all these homework. It seems that I've been hibernating for a long time, and I'm almost forgetting what it's like to be excited.
D1: in order to save money, we're booking Cebu airlines, which is a low-cost airline. It starts from Shanghai Pudong Airport (almost every time I go out, I have to take a plane to another city. I feel sorry for Nanjing, which is known as the aviation industry of line 1.5 city). It starts from Nanjing: Taxi --- subway --- train --- airport bus --- plane --- minibus --- ship --- Tutu, After 24 hours of driving, we finally arrived at Long Beach Island.
It's said that it's a direct flight from Shanghai to Boracay Island, but in fact, the plane arrived at calibo airport in Panay Island, Philippines. It takes about an hour and a half to get out of the airport by minibus and then take a boat to reach the real Boracay Island. The one and a half hour mountain road was absolutely zigzag, and the air conditioner in the car was extremely cold. I had a headache and my stomach turned upside down. I was really tortured!, When I arrived at the hotel, I was just in time for breakfast at 6 o'clock. I took two mouthfuls and poured into the room. Then I began to sleep.
D2: sleep until 2 p.m. and walk lazily to the seaside. When we see the blue, it's like chicken blood. All the hard work in front of us is floating clouds. This is the starting point of happiness. The hot feeling spreads from the pores to the whole body, and goose bumps get up! The feeling of excitement was ignited, and the colorful fireworks exploded on the top of my head!!!
We stayed at the Regent Hotel in S2, and it was only 5-10 minutes walking to dmall. It was very convenient to eat, drink and play. The first thing is to exchange money. Unfortunately, there is no place to exchange pesos in Nanjing, which makes us feel penniless. So that when we came to the dock, we couldn't pay taxes. Although the staff at the dock could exchange them for us, the dollar to Peso ratio was as low as 1:35, and it started from $100. Black bar! Fortunately, two mm from the same plane lent us 1000p. I'd like to thank these two mm for their help when we never met. Coincidentally, we found that we stayed in the same hotel, and even more coincidentally, they lived in the room next to us. The exchange rate in dmall is also unsatisfactory: 1:40.05. After comparing several companies, we changed $200 first. The opposite side of the exchange point is the smoke restaurant. If you have money, you can eat a squid rice, a chicken curry rice and a cup of iced tea at a reasonable price of 205p. In the afternoon when we strolled on the beach, local people kept selling US goods or recreational activities such as diving and sailing. We came to relax on holiday and didn't want to participate in any activities, so we declined politely. I plan to go to d'ttalipapa to buy seafood in the evening. If you walk from the main road to S3, it's easy to see the sign of d'ttalipapa. But if you walk from the beach to S3, there seems to be no sign, so when you see a shop called moon, you have to walk into the alley. I personally don't recommend d'ttalipapa seafood. Seeing that you are a tourist, don't think you can cut a lot of prices. Moreover, the hawker will use the tail of prawn manually to make you think it is alive. When you ask yourself to choose, the hawker will not sell it to you. Let alone short weight. Now the seafood is not sold to you by "kg", but by "piece". We bought four large Live Prawns 1400p, two female crabs 400p and some shellfish 150P. After eating the practice of Long Beach Island, we feel it's not good. The price is on the high side, and I don't think it's cost-effective. Generally, people's psychology is: "if you come to long beach and don't eat d'ttalipapa seafood, it's a loss." so I advise you not to eat it, and you won't listen to it. After eating it, you'll feel better. I also bought a 50p / bag of dried mango on the 63rd. It's very busy on the beach at night. There are all kinds of bar, BBQ, mashaji and cold drink shops. Warm, quiet, sexy, find a time to kill your own taste, that is to enjoy.
D3: the sun has been hanging in the sky since early in the morning. The degree of the sun's toxicity is directly proportional to the beautiful color of the sea. Today, we plan to play with the sea. Long Beach Island has a 4 km long white beach, which is known as "the finest beach in the world" and "one of the seven most beautiful beaches in the world". We take Tutu from the hotel to Notre Dame reef. The sea area is relatively flat, When we wade to the reef, we can see the beach on Friday. The green algae are a little better here. When we walk to the sea, we can't see the green algae in the photos. Moreover, the sand is the whitest and the thinest. It's like white pepper. It's almost noon before we know it. We decided to go to Nami hotel for lunch. From a distance, there is a mountain on the beach to Nami, so we made a super stupid mistake - we walked back to the main road from the beach on Friday, and decided to walk from the main road to Nami. Because there was no map, we just walked by feeling, But it's a pity that there's no sign at all.) after staying for an hour and a half, we quickly reached Puka beach, the northernmost part of long beach. Tired almost lying down, there is no way to stop a tutu asking for 150P to drive back to Nami. When we see Nami on the cliff, we can't wait to take the wooden elevator of the hotel to the restaurant. When we sit on the seat near the sea and have a simple meal, we feel that we completely forget the Long March one and a half hours ahead. The sea from the cliff is beautiful! There are people swimming in the sea and snorkeling. In the distance, all kinds of sailing boats and crab boats paddle through the blue mirror. There are colorful parachutes shuttling among the clouds in the sky. Coconut trees are swaying in the sea breeze. Birds are jumping up and down on the dining room tables and chairs! In a good mood! We ordered two simple meals and two drinks, which were only 1400p, and they tasted very good, and the weight was also very large!!! Cost effective!!! After enough rest, we reluctantly left Nami. Because of the wrong road ahead, we decided to walk along the beach to the mountain between Friday beach and Nami to see if we could get there. The truth: there was a plank road along the mountain. My God, it won't take more than 15 minutes to walk back. So we must write down the lesson of blood, so that no one will make the same mental handicap as us. Then take Tutu from Dame reef to dmaii, buy drinks at budgee Mart supermarket (the first floor with more tourists) and go back to the hotel to drink slowly in the refrigerator. After a short nap, we went out to look for food again. Tonight, we are mainly omnivorous. First, we found another smoke in dmaii near crafty's Boracay supermarket (the third floor where local people like to go) and drank 260p / small bowl of beef soup. It's delicious! The soup is fresh, the beef is rotten! recommend!! Then I went back to the beach and strolled to S3. On the way, I ate sweet corn and noodles from andok's grilled chicken shop (which felt like KFC). I saw 1:40.20 at the exchange point beside the beach and changed $200. The music on the beach is deafening, and the fire dance performance is very passionate. Go back to the hotel all the way and have some beer. ha-ha! Beautiful.
D4: the weather is not so good. The sea is gray when we have breakfast at the seaside, which can't be compared with the day before. Even if the weather is bad, we have to continue our happy holiday. We took Tutu (150P) to Puka beach, which was just about to walk the day before. It was stormy and rainy, so we couldn't go to the sea. We just sat on the beach and watched the local children surf and play. We had a lot of fun. The children were crazy to play. The wave was 2 meters high, More than a dozen children were held in a row to meet the beat of the huge waves. One wave came, and the children were scattered and sprawled. After laughing, we rearranged the formation to welcome the coming of the next big wave. We also laughed and clapped our hands! We bought ice cream for one of our shy little brothers and sisters, and met a group of new friends from other parts of the Philippines who came to long beach for a trip. Talk, laugh, play and make a fuss, and spend a leisurely morning here. Back to DMALL at noon, I ate Bite club's "face like" hamburger, a hamburger and two bottles of coke 500P, hamburger was awesome enough to pack it away. After a nap at noon, the weather turned better. We put on our swimsuits in our T-shirts and went to Puka by Tutu again. At this time, the sky was cloudy, but the waves were still very strong. After playing in the sea, we could not bear to be washed by the waves. We just sat on the beach and let the waves hit us. Although the waves are too big to swim here, there is no green algae at all! Bubble water is still good. There are few people on the beach and it's quiet. It feels like a private beach in the evening. Cool! At sunset, I went back to Shakey's Pizza next to regent and made a palassa spa 350p / person. The elder sister's technique was very good. She pressed it very comfortably and tipped 100p / person. The only disadvantage was that there was no partition in the massage room. Everyone pressed it together. Although she covered her body with a towel, she still felt inconvenient and shy when changing clothes! After going back to the hotel for a bath, I suddenly wanted to drink beef soup, so I went to the smoke opposite the exchange point in dmall to drink beef soup. I ran into the "group of five friends" in the store for the second time. I had a chat for a while. I'm happy! At the second stall, I went to I love BBQ, where I roasted small wings, but the seafood barbecue platter was very good. The seafood had a big taste, plus three glasses of beer 1200p, which was good! I boarded the happiness Ferris wheel 30p / person tonight, and it took me a long time to stop. I feel like it's worth it! In the third stall, we went to Shakey's pizza. The banana boat was so attractive. The shrimp and French fries were mixed in a basket. The shrimp was very big and delicious. The two bars of beer were only 750p in total. We also bought two mangoes at the fruit stall. At this time, we were too happy to eat. The water bar of Regent Hotel was recording a variety show. Although we couldn't understand it, we still went back to sleep after a long time. The carnival on the beach continues, and the dream paradise island continues to release its passion.
D5: the first thing I do when I open my eyes on the island these days is to open the window and see the sunshine outside. Today, I'm back to the bright sun. The sky is so blue that it's almost cloudless! Such a fine weather can not be wasted. We decided to rush to Puka for the third time. We saw Puka in the rain and cloudy Puka. Today we must see Puka against the hot sun. Sure enough! Puka under the hot sun is fascinating. The water near is transparent and white. In the distance, you can feel the fluorescent blue of the lake. In the distance, you can feel the mysterious deep blue like sapphire, layer by layer! Blend with each other, as if the level of oil painting rendering. Further away, the clouds are pressing on the sea level like marshmallows. Q wants to put them in his mouth to see if they are mango flavored marshmallows! It's absolutely the place where philene was murdered. The third time in Puka met the "friends five group", it seems that the heroes think alike ah!!! "I love you my friends," we yelled
At noon, we went back to the hotel to check out. The pick-up bus took us back to calibo airport on time. The plane was one hour late. In order to catch up with the time, the plane arrived in Shanghai two and a half hours after taking off. At night, it was chilly and windy in Shanghai. At this time, I have not returned to my home in Nanjing, I have already begun to miss Long Beach Island. I miss the dream paradise island, which is full of freedom and passion. The emerald in the sea with blue sea and white sand is a paradise for people to forget all their troubles!
Tips:
1: If the situation permits, prepare more 20p change before you go to the island. At the wharf, there will be a staff with a service card and a number of clothes to help you carry your luggage to the ship. That's a charge. The market price is 20p / piece of luggage, once on board and once off board. The staff will press their hands on the box and don't pay for it. You don't want to take your luggage (it may be night when you go, so it's ugly to ask for a tip. Although we also asked for a tip when we return, it's not so uncomfortable). Moreover, we only had 1000p lent to us by the kind mm next door, and there was no small amount of money, So I can only float out 4 knives gorgeous, that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable! So if you just want to carry your luggage by yourself, remember not to let other people touch your box under any circumstances. On the contrary, if you want to save money and energy, you can enjoy their service comfortably.
2: Take the Tutu on the island with more care. Before you get on the bus, you must talk about the price at the right place and clearly state that it's the price of several people. (two good-natured mm from the next door walk together, and the price is cut from 150P to 100p. When they arrive, the driver says it's 100p per person, so they have to pay 200P.), We only met one who drove away without change (fortunately, he lost 25p). This is for reference only!
3: When buying seafood, pay more attention to the fact that it is dead and full of life, a small amount of weight is missing, and the package is changed. It is said that it will be cheaper to buy seafood at noon. It's not just seafood on the island. Try more foods you haven't eaten.
4: The green algae problem is a headache. It really destroys the aesthetic feeling! It seems that it's been a long time since I checked the situation on the Internet. A few years ago, someone talked about the green algae problem, which made me feel whether it would be pollution or not. I have a sad imagination about whether it would be more and more serious if it was allowed to develop. So those who really want to go to long beach should stop worrying about whether to go right away or wait for the green algae to go. If you want to go, go early. Even if there are green algae, long beach is beautiful and cost-effective.
5: When we went to the plane, we filled in two forms. One is the entry form (in duplicate, unlike some other countries which have a receipt, we need to collect it when we leave). We were worried for a long time because we didn't see the receipt. The reality is that you don't have any extra forms on hand after you enter the country. 2 is the customs declaration, but also to open the luggage to the frontier inspection personnel, so please tidy up the inside of the box, messy open will be very embarrassing（ Fortunately, our boxes are still neat, ha ha) on the return trip, Kalibo airport was in a mess. We could see the flight number clearly and then queue up. There are few duty-free goods at the airport. Don't expect to spend all the money to buy at the airport. I have to pay 500p / person tax when I leave the country. It seems that I haven't seen any bribes.
