Hello!
I'm heading across to the Philippines next week and am planning to spend about 5 days in Malapascua over Christmas, followed by a few days in Boracay over New Years. I've given myself 2 days to travel between Malapascua and Boracay overland, mainly because I don't want to lose diving time whilst waiting for flights and would like to get to see a bit more of the Philippines than just 2 small islands! Do you think that 2 (long!) days travel is enough, as I can cut Malapascua short by a day or 2 maybe if needed? Also does anybody know of any good places worth visiting/hostels/guest houses along the way? I've tried looking online and can't find anything, ideally I'm looking for something backpacker-cheap, ideally by the beach or at least outside of a city but I'm not very fussy to be honest. More diving along the way would be a benefit as well of course!
Anyhow, thanks in advance!!
