I ordered some Irish Coffee. It was good!

I believe we dipped into the pool after this (hehe this is the disadvantage of not blogging my travels while the memories are still fresh 😅) because based on my journal for that day, I wrote that I learned how to dive. 🏊‍♀️

For lunch, since the food in the resort was a bit pricey, we decided to expand our options. Per the recommendation of our tricycle tour guide yesterday, we visited a nearby restaurant outside the resort.

We ordered some shrimp, fried scallops, and crab (and that soup that was a version of sinigang I believe). Seafood in the province will always be the best because it's fresh!

It was so entertaining hearing their reactions and side comments while they watched the movie. After it finished, we had a brief post-movie discussion. And that's when I realized how smart my friends are. They had interesting insights about it. They even caught the subliminal messages in some scenes. 😎

For dinner, we headed back to the dining hall to eat. It was another bounty feast (with some drinks involved 🍸).

When we got back to our cabin, we saw that the bonfire was lit! We spent some time around the bonfire and exchanged stories (and also sang some songs).

And that's how we spent our day at the resort! We were really in vacation mode because we were just relaxed and chill the whole day! It was our last day at the resort the next day, and we're scheduled to travel back to Ilo-ilo city! Stay tuned for more of my posts for this trip! ♥

As planned I spent the rest of the day around Kichijoji. I just  went sight-seeing and walked towards the direction of the nearest train station. I always loved strolling in new places (which I also did in Hongdae, Seoul). I actually saw a yakitori place with lots of locals on my way to the cream puff store (even saw one foreigner taking photos) so I knew it was a good place. But I was getting tired already (huhu) that's why I wasn't able to stop to check it out. I tried to locate what place that was on the maps after, but failed (because the shop name was in Japanese 😓) Although I got the chance to drop by another recommendation from Simon and Martina, Satou Steak House, wherein I basically went in line to buy some hot and juicy meatballs (that smelled so good but I had to wait again to eat them upon arriving at the hotel). That great travel tip still holds true: if there's a line in front of a store/restaurant, join them! Because you are surely up for something really good!
