Sunlight, the air, and an ample swell window make for a great day of surfing in this part of the world. The teardrop shaped island of Siargao is famous for world-class surfing and has introduced the sport to Filipinos.
All roads and flights lead to Boracay at this time of the year. The tourists are coming in droves and businesses are picking up with the true new normal. People in the tourism industry are going back to work.
As the saying goes, an ocean breeze keeps one’s mind at ease. I remembered that as I stared at my laptop hoping that Zoom meetings would just go away and everything would go back to normal. We needed to get away again, somewhere isolated and yet safe and easily accessible from Manila. For us, a visit to Pico Sands Hotel is the moment we were waiting for; time to head for the beach and enjoy some fun under the sun. All is well with the new normal, at least for a few days.
