It was a long day of travel as we headed out of the Philippines to continue our holidays elsewhere.

We booked our return flight out of the Boracay area from Kalibo instead of the closer airport, Caticlan. This involved a shuttle bus ride from the hotel to the Boracay port at the south end of the island. We had a slight shuttle breakdown, but we were quickly transferred to a new shuttle and we made it to the port in no time. Then, it was a short ferry ride across the waters to Caticlan, where our journey had first began.

From there, we hopped on a bus which was the beginning of about a two-hour ride to Kalibo. We passed natural scenery that was similar to other Asian landscapes – rice paddies, green tropical trees, coastlines and so on. There were houses of the very poor shacks to full-size first-world looking homes with front patios. I took video a little bit late on the scenery, but you can get a sense.

Once we arrived at Kalibo Airport we prepared for our flight on ZestAir. Yes, you read that right, there is an airline called Zest Air. 🙂 For a domestic airline, it was cheap and good enough.

It was an easy and quick flight to Manila. We had a long layover, but then got on Kuwait Airways for our night flight to Bangkok. I wouldn’t say it was the best airline, but it gets a thumbs up for the food. The rest…well, it still may have Delta beat… 😉

So, now we are in Bangkok for a few days.

More to come,
