• Day of rest Coron

    16 avril, Philippines ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F

    Today we relaxed at the hotel, and worked on trip planning for our hiking trip in Italy, and our time in Greece.

    We started the day with breakfast on site, and then enjoyed lattes in the onsite cafe. Next we spent the morning working on our planning from the computer/gaming lounge next to the fitness center.

    We followed this with massages; both Chelsea and Chris opted to try the local Filipino massage called a Hilot massage. This massage incorporates the masseuse digging their fingers more into the muscle, and is more of a medium strength massage(where Swedish would be light). We both LOVED the massages! So much so we requested second massages for after dinner!

    Following our massages we opted for drinks in the pool prior to dinner. We were having a blast, but when it was time to head out we hit a snafu. The decks were slippery, and when Chris stood up after climbing out he slipped, and sliced his leg on a sharp portion of the pool deck. It was a pretty bad cut, and when Chris saw it he was pretty shocked. We sat him down and he promptly fainted from watching the blood pump out- this gave quite a shock to the staff! (And Chelsea) Another guest ran over to help - she was a nurse from ucla and was very kind and an absolute hoot. She made a bunch of political jokes to make sure Chris had woken up, and then gave us some advice on the cut.

    The staff were fantastic and helped us with first aid supplies, and we headed back to the room. We cancelled our round two of massages and opted for room service instead, given we were no longer in the mood 😂
