Boracay Walking Tour - McDonald's Breakfast, Heavy Rain - Canceled Tour - Moksha Cafe, Boracay, Philippines
We were supposed to have a nice Boracay Sunset Cruise Tour, but heavy rain ruined everything. We ended up spending time in Moksha cafe in front of the tour stalls on Bulabog Road.

This is Amit Dhanan, walking lady from Boracay, Philippines.
So, we're just going to the bank to take out some cash today.
And this is the Bulabog beach.
You can see that there's like a slanted coconut tree which seems to be very popular.
People are always coming to take pictures.
I've seen lots of Instagram models.
They're coming to take pictures with the coconut tree.
And then, we're just walking along this way.
And then, we'll just walk up to a bank to take out some cash.
And then, after that, we're hoping to buy a T-shirt from the D-Mall, correct?
Yeah.
Okay, D-Mall.
And then, most likely, we're going to sit at a cafe and have coffee.
And then, we'll buy water and some groceries.
And then, we'll come back.
But later on, we have to go out for the sunset cruise.
So, that's going to be a separate video.
So, here, you can see this is the kite center.
And then, like, you know, people are coming here.
Those battery-powered taxis are dropping off people here because they cannot actually come on this path.
So, that's kind of the end point.
People can be dropped off.
And here, like, you know, lots of tours and kite lessons.
So, I think that's what people are waiting for.
And also, I love Boracay right here.
That's where people are taking pictures.
So…
Where?
I don't see anything.
You saw something?
Oh, this?
Yeah, that's where we were before.
So, we had garbage.
So, we just wanted to throw away the garbage.
Because there are too many ants in the unit.
So, if you have, like, you know, compost or if you have, like, you know, raw food or fruits or anything,
then it just gets eaten by ants.
Oh, I feel it started raining now.
Okay, we might have to take a shelter if it rains.
No, it's just transfer.
It's taking them to the boat.
Oh, actually, we have to wait for the other side.
Okay, after this, I think we can cross.
Okay, see, we started doing video, then it started raining.
That's so bad.
Yeah, and I am not using my GoPro.
This is VGI.
Oh, so, yeah.
And it's not good for water.
Oh, yeah.
So, you cannot…
So, how much walk to the bank?
It's not far.
It's close? Okay.
Just straight ahead and then turn left at the corner.
Oh, okay.
But if you look at the sky, it's…
I think the rain is not going to stay too long.
So, we have to just, like, you know, take a shelter somewhere until the rain passes.
So, last night we saw a frog there.
And we were trying to…
I took a video.
Yeah, we were trying to move it, but it got stuck.
It didn't want to move.
Oh, no.
You know, it's raining.
I think we have to…
It's okay.
It's not a heavy rain.
Yeah.
It's not heavy rain.
Okay.
So, this is like a house here.
I think this is a house.
And it has a huge area.
Yeah.
Like too much trees and fruits.
Yeah, lots of trees and fruits.
And it's a nice house.
And trees.
Yeah.
See, I told you.
We should have brought the umbrella.
Yeah.
At least I can cover my VGI.
Yeah.
Okay, so here is how VGI looks like.
It cannot take rain.
Okay, you know, I think it looks like it's gone.
Let's keep walking.
And we'll see.
Oh, it's a little bit windy.
So, today is not that hot, right?
No, because it's cloudy.
Yeah, it's a little bit better than the last few days.
Lots of Korean stores here.
Yeah, so there are lots of Korean stores and groceries everywhere.
Yeah.
And lots of Korean people too.
I think they migrated here.
Yeah.
I think they do business.
Yeah, like this one is Korean.
Yeah, there's another one.
Korean.
Oh, they haven't started lunch yet.
Actually, we are too early.
This is breakfast time.
It's only like 10.
Yeah.
Not even 10 yet.
Yeah.
I think we may need to have breakfast.
Look, look.
The doggy.
The doggy is riding the bike.
I didn't see it.
So, we got some mangoes.
I think this is where we bought stuff from last night.
And this is there.
Yeah.
You know, it's windy.
I didn't use my mask.
Actually, I have to put my sponge.
I removed my sponge and now it started windy.
So, whatever you are not doing, something is starting to make you do that.
You know, we always go this way.
Why don't we just turn the other way?
Which way is the bank?
Yeah, it's just there.
Okay, then we can just go that way.
Oh, actually, if we are going to McDonald's, we can have breakfast there.
We didn't have breakfast already, right?
No, that's not breakfast.
Hold on, hold on.
We have to wait.
They are first coming.
Okay, maybe after this, we can go.
So, this is the what?
Balabog?
Balabog Avenue.
Balabog Wetland Park.
That's the name.
Yeah.
So, this is the park.
Balabog Wetland Park.
And then on this side, there are some coffee shops and stores.
Korean stores.
So, this looks like a lake.
Oh, that's the BPI.
Where?
There, BPI.
Oh, that's the...
Okay, so we found the bank.
It's just right across.
Okay, so we can just go to the bank.
We can go this way.
There's a path this way.
We are just showing them.
Because we always show the other side.
You want to go this way?
Okay, then.
Why don't we show this side, this side?
Oh, there's a Mongolian barbecue here.
Look at this statue.
And this is what?
It's like a Korean girl.
There's another cafe here.
There's a nice cafe and stuff here.
So, if there is McDonald's,
Jollibee is always close to it.
You know?
Like, this is McDonald's here.
And on the far left is...
Not very far left.
You saw Jollibee?
On the left is Jollibee.
I don't see.
Yeah, you might not see because of those trees.
But it's just there.
Oh.
Okay, so there's Jollibee here.
So, it looks like this is a kind of mall or something.
And there are a few restaurants in here.
Food spa.
Spa wars.
Food spa.
Yeah.
Then the office.
Restaurants.
More stuff there.
Travel agent.
I saw travel agent too.
But those look like apartments.
So, this is Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team.
Barangay.
No, Barangay.
Oh, okay.
Barangay Peacekeeping Action.
Okay.
Okay, do you want to go to the bank first?
Yeah, we have to finish the bank.
Then let's go to McDonald's.
Oh, someone put a plastic bottle in the water.
That's why it becomes so dirty.
Yeah.
Too much garbage.
Yeah.
Okay, do you want me to show you the Jollibee?
Jollibee?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Okay, I don't want to cross the street.
Yeah, I will just...
Okay, there's a street.
Careful.
It's just there.
Oh, it's just there?
Okay.
So, the Jollibee should be somewhere there.
Okay.
Okay, so we have to cross the street now.
Oh, they're changing the lights.
Yeah.
Hi, Kuya.
Oh.
He is occupied doing a job.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, we're going to cross here?
Maybe there?
Okay.
And you can show the logo again.
The Isla Borraca, yeah?
Isla Borraca, yeah.
Everywhere is Isla Borraca logo here.
Yeah, yeah.
That's where people are taking pictures.
Oh.
Oh, I don't know what is this here.
Looks like they're making something.
Yeah, I think they're trying to make something.
But maybe it didn't finish yet.
Yeah, looks like that.
Okay.
Look, there's another Coffee 85 breakfast cafe.
Maybe we can go and check menu?
Yeah, we can.
It's okay.
Let's cross now.
Okay, let's see what type of stuff they have.
Oh, they don't have any menu outside.
Yeah.
Let's go inside?
Okay.
Coffee 85, there.
Coffee 85.
Okay, okay.
Where are you going?
That is BPI.
Oh, BPI is there, okay.
Okay, so this is the BPI bank.
And I see there is a machine there.
Okay.
So this is the BPI.
So this is the card I'm going to use.
This is McHugh Bank from Canada.
And I'm going to see if I can, you know, take out cash and what type of currency rates they gave.
So this is the BPI.
And we'll see, you know, if we get good exchange rates.
And if it works properly.
Okay, so this is, we're going to enter this.
Oh, actually this is even touch screen.
So please wait your transaction is being processed.
Enter your PIN and then press enter.
So I'm just going to enter my PIN.
Okay, and then I press enter.
Okay, so it gets a cash withdrawal.
Okay.
You have to choose.
Would you 10,000?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, so let's try 10,000 Filipino.
Or you want to take more?
That's it, 10,000 is the higher amount.
No, no, this other amount here.
Okay, how much do you want?
$300, maybe 12,000?
Okay.
Okay, let's try 12,000 and see if it works.
So we are trying to do 12,000 Peso.
Submit and let's see what happens.
Oh, select account type, checking current credit.
I mean savings.
Okay, this part I'm not sure, but I'll just.
Let's see if it works.
This transaction has a fee of 250.
Your bank may charge other fees.
Do you want to continue?
Yes.
So they're charging 250 Peso, which is not bad.
How much does it cost when you change the money?
I don't remember.
The money will come out here.
Okay, so card is out.
And let's wait for money.
Oh, actually it worked.
Okay, so this is the money.
Hold on, we got to take the receipt.
Do we need it?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
We need a receipt.
So we can.
Okay, so I got that.
Oh, the receipt is very hard to read.
Almost there's no paper, ink.
No ink.
But it's okay.
It's like empty.
It's like just a paper, nothing in it.
Okay, could you put out the money first?
You give it to me?
Yeah, just put out the money first.
Okay.
So we're going to check the restaurant for breakfast items.
And let's see if they have anything we like.
If not, then you can just go to McDonald's.
So it's really nice that the cash machine worked.
But we're going to figure out the conversion rate once we are there.
Oh, this is the pharmacy we bought the medicine from.
You want to buy some medicine?
Actually, I think I need medicine because I have bad cold now.
Do you need something for a cough?
A cold?
I don't know what is good for me.
Yeah, I have like a blood nose.
No, there's actually really no medicine for that.
It's going to grow on your own.
But you're taking Tylenol, right?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see what they have for...
Here, here, here.
Coffee 85.
They have upstairs too.
Oh, they have breakfast.
They have upstairs.
Okay.
Hi.
Thank you.
Because we are trying to save cash money.
We're trying to pay by credit card.
And...
I think book.
Yeah.
So these are all battery powered.
When I kind of riding them, I can figure out that, you know, it's not making noise.
Then we asked the driver and he confirmed that, you know, these are not fuel.
These are all battery powered.
Which is very environment friendly.
It's like the Tesla of Boracay.
Okay, so we have here...
Let's go inside and see what they have here.
So this is the magrons.
Okay, so here's the menu.
We got breakfast, silog, silog bowl.
Oh, actually I kind of like that.
Sinangang and egg.
It's like fried rice and egg.
Yeah, yeah, that looks very nice.
And it comes with coffee and hash brown.
And it's a very good deal.
186 peso.
Not only that.
There is mushroom, pepper, and egg.
Okay, so...
With egg.
Louisiana with egg rice bowl.
One piece mushroom, pepper steak.
Pepper steak?
What's pepper steak?
It's like a beef steak with pepper.
Oh, with pepper. Okay.
I'm not sure.
With mushroom, pepper.
Mushroom, pepper.
Okay, so...
There's mushroom on top of it.
Okay, so we're gonna take that 182, two items.
Okay.
So this is what it looks like.
This is iced coffee.
And this is the hash brown.
And this is the silog bowl.
Beef patty with egg.
And we'll just eat and try now.
Hi guys.
So we're supposed to have the sunset cruise.
But look at the weather.
It's a really pouring rain.
And I'm not sure at this point.
The tour is still going to be on or it's going to be cancelled.
But if we just straight look up.
There's the banner there, sunset cruise.
I think that's where we're supposed to be meeting.
But it's questionable now.
Whether this is going to happen today or not.
So this is the MUX.
MUX is where we're waiting for the tour.
So the tour just got cancelled.
And they gave me option to reschedule for tomorrow or refund.
I asked for a refund.
Because I noticed that you can do this type of tour right away.
On the station too.
So we're just going to watch the weather.
And see how it goes for the next few days.
Because we're here for a few more days.
So for now we're just entering the cafe.
And do some...
Bad day coffee, good day coffee.
Let's see what they have.
Thank you.
We are so...
So this is the schedule.
They have actually lots of stuff in here.
So let's see.
Maybe we just get snack type of thing.
Main course, we don't need that.
And then there's the Caesar salad.
And garden salad.
Oh, we know a salad.
Garlic or chicken with teriyaki.
And then we have the coffee right here.
So let's just make a decision.
We'll see what we can get.
We still got french fries and Americano coffee.
Cream and sugar.
There's a carrot cake.
And then there's the mango shake.
And it looks like it's still raining outside.
But we don't worry about that for a while now.
