Exploring the Philippines and Asia - Roxas City, Capiz, Panay Island

Feb. 26-28, 2010

To go to Roxas City from Boracay this is how to do it by land (and water) and costs:
tricycle - main street of Boracay to pier - Pesos80.00 per ride one or two persons
fastcraft or banca - pier Boracay to Caticlan - Pesos25 banca or 30.00 fastcraft
to leave the pier of Boracay there is a fee of Pesos50.00 per person
airconditioned van - Caticlan to Kalibo - Pesos100 per person
no aircon van - Kalibo to Roxas City - Pesos100 per person
tricycle - search for cheap hotel all over the city - Pesos50 contract 50.00 tip

Halaran Hotel is only about 200 meters to City Hall,  Provincial Hall and the Catholic Church.  It is an old building, probably about 50 years old, but clean and gives free breakfast.  For Pesos750 per room it is a good deal.  The room is big, it has two single beds, aircon and a private bathroom.  It is also beside a river.
