Strolling barefoot,along the beach of Boracay Island,where the white sand is as fine as confectioner’s sugar and the water warm and inviting.
Distance Approx 280KM
Day5
Boracay to Ilo Ilo
Taking a water taxi back to Panay Island, we remount the Kawasaki's and head back into the Nabas Hills along quiet back roads, paved and unpaved. It’s devoid of traffic and beautiful, with dense jungle creeping to the edge of the road and stretching to the distant hilltops. We pass through a small town where the locals are drying rice on thin mats placed on the paved road.
On the western coast of Panay Island,the road runs along the fertile plain between the ocean and the inland mountain range. Small towns dot the coast and rice paddies and palm trees fill the plain in between. Steep foothills covered in grasses rise dramatically from the plain, and broad rivers sweep majestically from the mountains and continue to fan out until they reach the sea.
South of San Jose, the road heads up and over the mountain. We call this section “Motard Mountain” and for good reason. The sinuous road clings to the folds of the mountain as it ascends, but is interrupted in places where the earth has moved or been washed away. Perfectly paved bends crumble without warning into dusty, rocky construction areas and reappear, whole again, within 50 yards. It is an unpredictable and exhilarating romp, a supreme test of bike and rider. One second you are leaned over hard, rear tire squirming for grip, and the next you are dropping off a 6-inch lip onto gravel and hard-pack. A smattering of houses crowd the edge of the road along this stretch, and their residents lounge outside, watching the impromptu parade of KLRs. Continuing on to the stop for the night IloIlo.
Distance Approx 280km
DAY 6
Depart Ilo Ilo for the port of Dumagas to board the ferry to Bacolod on Negros island, we ride through hectares and hectares of lush green sugarcane fields as we ascend up twisty mountain roads skirting around the active volcano of canloan,we ride down the east side senice Oceanside road with dense jungle creeping to the edge of the road and stretching to the distant hilltops, completing the tour that evening in Dumaguete.
Distance Approx 310km
