I FELL INLOVE WITH CORON!

Wasn't feeling well 2 days before this trip but thank God the fever didn't trigger during this trip. Had our flight 10:50 and arrived there around 12. We're all anxious if what's it gonna be there.

While heading to our hotel we passed by some wild horses, big balete trees and that really gave me the creeps, it was really a virgin island but interesting one.

Had our yummy lunch and siesta after to charge us from climbing the 724 steps Mt. Tapyas.. *binilang ko* lol..nah, kiddin' but they say to be exact it was 758..whatever the figures are it was worth it..It's a 360 deg view of the whole coron town. After the tiring hiking headed to maquinit hot spring like it was 40-45deg...Fancy that huh! haha.. It was so relaxing but very hot too.. We can see the water boiling and not to mention it was smoking..haha! went home around 7 coz dinner's gonna be 7:30..passed bu the super dulom road of coron town...good thing kuya dexter didn't brought up the ghost story about the japanese maybe..haha!

soo much for the 1st day.
