Just chilling

We really like the simple decor of Coral Eye Resort - poured concrete and wood and nothing overly ornate. All of the bathroom facilities are on the outside back of the room and between the sides is a giant Buddha which you can also see from the inside through a full window - so of course Mike had to catch me brushing my teeth while meditating with my pal.

It takes a day to get into a grove with each new accommodation we land at - and we’ve got it here pretty quickly. We had our massages this morning and promptly decided to switch to the package which includes unlimited massages. We both feel so much better and are just staying inside and hydrating with the AC on for a while before lunch. Tough life.

One great discovery we made at the grocery store here is this dip bag style of coffee. Without it we would have two choices - bad instant granules or the mud they serve with breakfast. This stuff is great so we bought extra when we were in Sorong in case we needed it. Coral Eye has a nice water feature in the room with unlimited filtered in cold, hot or room temp so we can still make our nice dip bag coffee in the room before the rest of the resort even wakes up. More U.S. hotels should offer this. We have seen in at least once before but I can’t remember where - but it beats the crappy pods of Starbucks that some offer.

Did a little walk up and down the beach and checked out the one hiking trail to see if we will do that tomorrow on our own, but overall just really enjoying the lovely slow pace now.

Mike took a photo of me on the massage table before the two therapists came back in but I had to veto including that since it turns out I have a visible bald spot on my head 😳. I’m not gonna let that discovery ruin my chill vibe tho - life goes on.
