The Little "Angel" Resort (continuation of last post)

It turns out the resort's name was Little Bridge.  Or should I say current name because we learned from the staff that they were in the process of renaming the resort to Aplaya de Butong since it was under new management.

Anyway, we found ourselves staying at a quaint resort out of the usual transport path (jeeps don't pass this road).  There was a hotel with its own pool and a balcony for each room.  The room assigned to us just happened to be beside the chapel.

After settling in, we went down to do some exploring.  We noticed that on the walls between rooms, peices of cloth were hung, probably local designs.  Going down the stairs, the first thing you notice is the painting on the opposite wall in the lobby.  It was a huge portrait of Mother Theresa meeting with Pope John Paul II, made more vibrant with a red background and their smiling faces.  

There were several sets of furniture in the lobby, all made of hardwood.  One set had wheels for armrests.  Another seemed to be carved from large logs.

We made arrangements for dinner.  It turns out that the food was all a la carte so it was a good thing we ordered early.  We asked for a dish of mixed vegetables and a possible choice of simple meat dishes (breakfast fare actually which were easy to prepare) to be decided when we got to dinner.

It was drizzling softly so we thought we might be able to explore the resort.  We walked down a path leading to the beach from the hotel.  We found ourselves under a covered pavilion.  We guessed it was an activity area.  Beside it was a set of doors that led to a large hall, probably the function room.

The waves were fierce.  It was after all a rainy afternoon.
