How to See Coron in a Day

Today was a sunny day in Coron! We had a some nice views from our deck and the hotel's dining room.





Our plan for the day was to meet up with our local guide, Noriel, who would take us around in his tricycle (actually a motorcycle, but with elaborate attachments).

He took us to the market we walked through yesterday to pick out food for lunch. Then off we went to Cabu Beach.





We even found a friend in the sand. Say hi!



Noriel grilled our lunch: fresh fish, eggplant, some rice (not grilled, but still warm from buying it from the market), and some dipping sauces for flavor. Way yummy, and Mark even did well with eating a whole fish!


The Filipinos are on to something with those foil plates... Smart!

After splashing around a bit more, we decided we weren't hot enough (that was total sarcasm). Off we went back through the bumpy, jungle-y roads to some hot springs.


This was out of the back of the tricycle.









And this is what the hot pool looked like right before we gingerly tip-toed in.



Wow, that made us find our sunburns! It was nice to overheat in the water and then come out and be cooler in the previously too-hot air. Definitely tiring though, so back we went to our hotel for showering, laundry, dinner, and more card playing.

And hopefully the internet works today.

And double hopefully, I win more rounds of cards. Mark's still up 7-4.
Unacceptable!
