CORON – The birthday getaway: Day 1

I woke up around 7AM to find an uninvited roommate – a gecko wandered into the room! It was a mix of fear and amazement as I stood there, staring intently at it. I grew up hearing a gecko’s mating call but I have never seen an actual gecko so seeing one up close was amazing. It looked different to how I imagined it. I heard stories of how a gecko’s grip is so strong that it would probably tear off your flesh once it attach itself to your arm so I expected it to have sharp claws. Ridiculous, I know.
