Stories from Coron

The first two days at Coron were amazing. We went on a overnight kayaking adventure to four of the surrounding islands.  We made a fire on the beach, slept on the sand, explored a stunning lagoon, and snorkeled in perfectly clear water.








After we got back to Coron town we decided to explore the city on a motorbike, however about 30 minutes into the ride our tire popped.  We tried to find a pump but discovered that the tube had been completely destroyed and unfortunately we had no choice but to try to make it back. 




After the ride we felt complete exhausted and defeated, we had little motivation left for the day.  In perfect timing we meet two Filipinos, Armand and Riza who invited us to go on a boat tour with them the next day.  We decided to join and that night we also joined them in a hike to the cross (a viewpoint of the city), a dip in the hot springs and dinner on a boat.  It was a truly amazing two days and completely unplanned. 





It was hard to believe but Coron was our last stop in the Philippines and on Sunday we flew to Vietnam.  We have been loving Vietnam so far and will be sure to share more soon.
