Flora at The Danish Lagoon

After my breakfast, I decided to walk around the Danish Lagoon and take photos of its  lush garden.

I was particularly charmed by their gumamela or Hibiscus especially since I rarely see this in the delicate shade of pale pink or white as the ones below.

And as mentioned in this post, this is my best find.  I actually did not know its name but a similar flower was posted in my Facebook travel group and people identified it as the flower of the passion fruit.

Lovely, aren't they?

The Danish Lagoon's H.C. Andersen's Restaurant

After my very early morning walk by the seashore, it rained so I went back to our room then at around 8:00 AM, decided to have breakfast by myself as Yen was still asleep.  

As said in my post about the Danish Lagoon, the resort only has one restaurant and it is called H.C. Andersen's Restaurant.  It actually also served as the resort's front desk as on the left side of the entrance is the receptionist's counter.

Prior to this meal, I dined here twice:  the first time was when I had their very yummy Danish Burning Love and the second time was for breakfast on our second day in the island. What I love about H.C. Andersen's Restaurant was its open-air ambiance. 

They also have a bar with its high chairs.

After taking pictures of the restaurant, I proceeded to ordering 2 sunny side up eggs with ham and rice.

 And for my drinks, fresh orange juice.

As with my first breakfast in this resort, the above meal also cost me Php 2000.00 but it was worth it as the home-y cooking was quite delicious I wondered about who prepared it.  Later, Noel answered this questions when he said that one of the owners of the Danish Lagoon personally prepares the meals serve at H.C. Andersen's Restaurant as she's a chef.

Morning Walk at the Danish Lagoon

Despite staying up late swimming and chatting over our drinks, I woke up at 5:00 AM the following day determined to catch the sunrise.  I woke up too early though as it was still dark outside.

The locals were up early going fishing or harvesting sea urchins.

As it was still too early, I went back to my room then came back to the shoreline at around 5:30 AM.  Sadly, the Danish Lagoon's location did not afford me a good view of the rising sun.

I would have gotten better shots if I were farther up the beach but when I tried going there, my slippers got stuck on the mud so I dared not venture farther from the shore as aside from the sticky mud, I also had to contend with some sea creature (perhaps a shell or an urchin) stinging my feet.
