Day 25: Bangkok

Sleep in day! Wooooo! Eventually we surfaced at around 11 am and left the hostel to go find some breakfast. We ended up at French bakery Konnichipan, which Kyle remembered from his last stay in Bangkok. The pastries were delicious and we were both stoked to have a NORMAL SANDWICH with NORMAL BREAD oh man […]

Day 23 – Day 24: Coron – Manilla – Bangkok, Thailand

Today we moved out of our hostel in Coron. The morning was spent sleeping in, watching basketball and packing up our clean washing before checkout at 10. For brekky we went to a restaurant around the corner for pancakes, muesli and an omelette. For the next couple of hours we parked up at a bamboo […]

Day 22: Coron

Today we completed the Coron Ultimate Tour following another omelette brekky from next door. We were picked up via tricycle from our homestay and taken to the small boat port where we boarded the boat and waited for the remaining 20 people. The tour consisted of 7 sites from 5 different spots. They managed this […]

Day 20 – Day 21: Coron

In Coron we stayed in Javal Homestay, basically a couple of floors in some locals houses. The owner was super friendly and the room was really nice, it had a TV with ESPN so needless to say Kyle was stoked. Drinking water was also included which was great. Our first day on Coron was spent […]

Day 17 – Day 19: El Nido – Coron, Philippines

3 day 2 night expedition time with Buhay Isla! After brekky at the hostel we caught a tricycle to the port to arrive by 8:30. Once the full team of 12 had arrived we were on the boat and heading out for day of exploring the islands in the El Nido area. The boat was […]

Day 15 – Day 16: El Nido

On the 15th Kyle went out for his second day of diving. He completed two more open water dives, but had to forgo the final dive due to a dodgy tummy. But Kyle is now a certified open water diver, yeow! I took the day to relax on the beach and read my book. For […]

Day 14: El Nido

Scuba diving day 2 and today Kyle made it out to complete day 1 of his open water dive licence, yay! For the first dive, Kyle completed his confined water basic skills training (which was in the shallow in the sea so not really confined water at all) and I had a fun dive with […]

Day 13: El Nido

Sooooo unfortunately Kyle was up all night with a dodgy tummy and couldn’t make it to scuba diving 😥 To stop a double up on rescheduling fees I still headed out for day 1 of the advanced open water course. Today I completed deep dive, underwater navigation and peak performance buoyancy. I had the course […]

Day 12: El Nido

Today we had a sleep in. A loooot of people in the hostel are sick and both our stomachs have been unsettled so we are very paranoid. The water quality is very poor because it hasn’t rained for so long so we are using bottled water even to brush our teeth. Once we made it […]

Day 11: El Nido

BREAKFAST AT THE HOSTEL IS INCLUDED! Wooo finally. Each morning there is a spread of bread, jams, fruit and sweets, with the option to cook yourself eggs as well. Today we walked along Corong Corong beach (about a 2 minute walk from the hostel) to Marimegmeg beach to go swimming (Corong Corong beach is too […]
