【旅行．長灘島】2012 Boracay. Philippine Day.1

At the beginning of this year, I went to Boracay, which is a tiny little island belonged to Philippine, located in Pacific Ocean.

Honestly speaking, it is a paradise for no doubt.

You won't trust me more after seeing the pictures as following.

今年初，我去了長灘島一趟。

長灘島是菲律賓群島中的一個超小島，

坐落在太平洋上。

那無疑是個天堂，

等你看完以下照片，你就會心悅誠服。

we got departure at very morning, 

approximately 5:00 Am something, that almost killed me, 

since I had reunion dinner with my family the night before that.

我們超早就出發了，

大約是清晨五點之類的，

這簡直差點把我殺了，

因為我前一晚還吃年夜飯到很晚呢！

Then, we arrived Philippine early as well.

After landing in Philippine, passing some MOST SIMPLE routine check by customs, 

we took "crab boat" to Boracay.

"Crab boat" is an unique vehicle around Boracay. 

I'm not so sure that whether it appears in anywhere else, 

that was the first time I'd taken this kind of cool boat at least.

於是，我們很早就抵達菲律賓了，

入境菲律賓，進行史上最隨性的例行檢查後，

我們就搭上「螃蟹船」前往長灘島。

這個「螃蟹船」是航行在長灘島周邊的特殊交通工具，

我不確定別的地方有沒有，

至少那是我第一次搭乘這種船。

We lived in "Alta Vista" first, which is a large hotel in the north of the island.

Due to it is located in the middle of the mountain, 

we had to take shuttle bus for 40 minutes from the port to there.

Given that Boracay has not opened for tourism for very long time, 

the roads and cars are not very well-developed.

It is pretty uncomfortable to commute from hotel to beach area.

我們首先入住在小島北部的飯店Alta Vista，

由於他座落在半山腰，

我們搭了四十分鐘的接駁車才從港口抵達飯店。

因為長灘到開放觀光還沒有很久，

島上的道路與交通設備都不是很發達，

不停地往返飯店與海灘區實在令人不太舒服。

"Alta Vista" should be a pretty large-scaled hotel in Boracay because it contains more than twenty buildings in the whole area.

The suites there are not luxurious but quite spacious and neat.

Alta Vista 算是島上很具規模的飯店，

因為整個區域裡包含二十棟以上的建築，

雖然那裏的套房並不是很豪華，卻蠻寬敞整潔的。

We liked to sit in balcony in our suite, enjoying the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere.

Nothing can be more satisfied than sharing the pleasure and happiness with someone I love. 

We could even see the ocean and mountain (and a golf court) at the same position.

我們喜歡坐在房間的陽台，享受著新鮮空氣和平和氛圍，

再也沒有什麼是比和自己所愛的人分享快樂與幸福更滿足了，

我們甚至可以在這個位置同時看見海和山（還有高爾夫球場）。

Happiness is so easy and ordinary, it only depends on what you feel and how you think.

I won't forget the moment ever, feeling that I have it all in the great world.

I couldn't help but fall in love with island immediately.

It is certainly a paradise.

幸福其實很簡單又平凡，只是取決於你的感覺於想法。

我永遠不會忘記那一刻，我覺得我擁有了全世界。

我忍不住立刻愛上這個小島，

它絕對是個天堂！
