Just came back to the hotel after swimming. No it's not actually swimming as I don't know how to swim. Actually, my roommate and I just get into the water and wet ourselves. Don't know the actual term for this. We soaked ourselves in water. At the beach there were lots of filipino, korean and other asian tourists but no white tourists were present. We just saw the white tourists last night. I guess they were night people because they are only seen in beaches during noon time and evenings. We really enjoyed our activity early this morning. Now we're getting ready for breakfast at the Crown Regency HOtel where our general assembly is being held. Out for now... be back when there is time in the evening.

Well this means you need not swim to enjoy the beach. If you can't really swim you can just soak yourself in the shallow portion of the beach and enjoy just the same. In fact just watching the sea is enjoyable by itself. I know many people who do not really know how to swim but still they love and enjoy going to the beach.

I used to enjoy spending time in the sea water splashing around before I learned how to swim. It is interesting that there were Filipino, Korean and other Asian tourists around having fun. I am very keen on swimming from white sandy palm fringed beaches and I love to go off snorkeling around a coral reef. When I go traveling I am out sightseeing in the morning, afternoon and early evening. Once it is dark I like to go back to my accommodation. On my last trip I came back after dark on one day out and the old town looked spectacular. All the lights looked really pretty. I hope that you are really enjoying your time at Boracay Island.

Glad to know that you also visited our country more specifically Boracay Island. Good for you, you have already gone to places outside your country. Me, that was the first time that I had gone to Boracay though I live in the Philippines. Hope you will enjoy your future visits here.

That sounds like a nice holiday. I am a 'white' tourist, if I had been there you would have seen me on the beach early in the morning. Like you just testing the water and paddling about a bit. I can swim but always find the sea or ocean too cold, even in tropical countries. What I really like is the azure-blue ocean sparkling under the sun. I can watch this for hours.
