I woke up in the Villa Amuntai, the hotel I was staying in. For breakfast, I had bibingka, and then I headed towards the Bataan World War II Museum, to see some history. When I arrived, I walked in. It was very cool looking at all the different guns and statues of famous people from the war. I even saw a group of statues huddling around a table, strategizing! I stayed there for about 3.5 hours (I woke up at 6:57). Then, at 11:12, I decided to start looking for a place to eat lunch. I found a cute restaurant called Wa Nam Restaurant. I ordered Fried Rice & Asado. It was very yummy! Then I decided to swim a little bit. Or go on a boat ride. I decided to do both! I went to Five Fingers cove! Unfortunately, it was a 1 hour and 20 minute drive. However, that wasn’t going to stop me! I rented a car to get to Bataan (I previously was in Manila) so I drove there myself! By the time I got there, it was 1:18 ( I took around 56 minutes to get to and eat at the restaurant). But I didn’t care! I started to swim in the water. It was pretty warm and it was fun. The rock formations were undoubtedly beautiful. I got in a boat and made some new friends! The people here are very friendly and kind. I almost stayed for 5 HOURS! It was 5:39 by the time I got in my car again. For dinner, I went to the Pupung Grill. I had Pork Sinigang, which was hearty, very tasty, and warm. It was like 26 degrees Celsius outside but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. When I finally got to the hotel again, it was 7:58! I went to bed, feeling content with my adventure in Bataan.
