Crinkly III Philippines adventure day 8 - Off to Coron (7/29/19)

Get up for the hostel breakfast which was tiny (a piece of ham and cheese each and 3 slices of bread) so we scarf it down and pack so we can walk to the airport nearby for our flight out. Check in and get to the gate where we board our small plane for the trip over to Coron. Rough landing (maybe for a small plane it is normal but for what I am used to, it was really rough).The island has beautiful green hills which makes for a nice change in scenery. Take a van to Hop Hostel which is up on a hill in the city. Beautiful building with amazing views out over the bay. 

Crinkly is enjoying this new hostel and its views

Getting dark as the sun sets behind all the thick clouds


The wifi is spotty throughout the building which was a bit annoying (thats if the wifi was even accessible where one was). Theres a nightly free dinner which is small but a nice gesture. Went down and had a smoothie which wound up being mostly ice which detracted from the tastiness. Take our stuff up to the room where they have both single sized mattresses and queen sized mattresses; the 2 biggest people in the room got the 2 single sized mattresses. Go figure hahah. After we get settled, we head down to the fun and sun dive shop to check in and make sure we are on the same page for our dives the next couple days. After all that, we go back to the hostel to pay them. Shortly after we get back there is a hard rain (glad we werent caught out in that). Rooftop bar is closed since we are in the rainy season but its still nice to go up there when its not raining and chill and enjoy the views. Chill in the hostel as we have some diving to do the next day.
