paradise is a state of mind
Poking my head out of the sand for a moment to share these pictures. I don't have a lot since I forgot my camera and only had the camera in my cellphone. Bantayan Island was so beautiful, usually when we step off the port the water would be muggy and unclear but in Bantayan the water was still so clear it was like... staring at a clear glass.
My friends were right, it was like Boracay in the 80s before it became popular and acquired all those bars and people more concerned with partying than the beach.
Boracay is a lot more accessible than Bantayan but it's certainly worth the trip, once we saw the beach, we forgot all about the long hours it took to get to the island.
The beach was breathtaking and the resort we stayed in had a sand bar and during high tide the water would cover the shore so we would stay on the sand bar during the afternoons. Then we went island hopping and the other beaches were also as breathtaking as the main island and time was so slow, it was like, we could lie on the beach the whole day and be surprised that only three hours passed.
I can understand why some people never left the island and retired there, it's very idyllic and the sort of life people would enjoy after a hectic work life.
I will certainly be back in Bantayan one day.
