Coron Adventures Take 2

I'm accessing this blog today in the town of Coron. We had a little R&R and we decided to stay here for the night. When we left the office we just plan to go to Landbank to open an ATM account here to save from the bank charges. We waited for almost two hours while we wait for our ATM card. Since we've been waiting for so long we just discussed spending the night here and see the sights which we were unable to see the last time.

We decided impromptu we didn't even brought any change of clothes. So, we proceeded to the market to buy a face towel, shorts and a shirt. we also went to the souvenir shop here since i bought my girlfriend belle something that she wants, a pearl necklace. We also look for a room to spend the night in and we found an air-conditioned one for 600 a night but sadly it is full. So, we settled to the 350 a night room with just a fan and two beds. We went to hire a tricycle for our trip to Maquinitan where the hot spring is located. A note to all travelers do always ask some local how much usually is the going rate before you try to negotiate a ride. We hired a tricycle for 300 pesos which is the going rate here in Coron to the hot springs. The driver would wait for you there while you go inside and take a dip in the springs. The entrance to the springs is 100 pesos.

When we got there the technique they say in staying longer in the spring is for you to immerse yourself slowly in the pool. i really enjoyed sitting on the little waterfall while the hot water is streaming down your back. We took a couple of snaps of the place and got to dipping in the pool. The only downside of a hot spring from a swimming pool is you're perspiring when you get out of the pool. but all in all it was a fun and adventurous day. The cleansing is a plus since the warm water opens all your pores you could flush out all the dirt in your body. The Coron adventure hasn't been concluded yet as i write this blog. But i will update you on the next blog.

Keep on reading..
