Crinkly III Philippines adventure day 5 - Heading onto the big island to start the festivities (7/26/19)

Wake up and check out before heading to the dive shop to eat at their restaurant (hippocampus) where I had the eggs benedict which were ok, not bad but not great which is par for the course for getting eggs benedict at places - very few places get the eggs right. We had been talking with the dive shop owner the day before and he offered to take us to our hotel on Cebu today as he was going down anyway which was incredibly nice of him and saved us a bunch of logistical arrangements which was awesome and extremely convenient. We get to the island and load up his car and then head down to D Coco Palms resort which is where the wedding guests are staying tonight. 

About to load on the boat and head to the big island. Such a beautiful day for a boat ride.

Piece of heave on earth.

Crinkly found some Filipino brothers

Eat at Jollibee for lunch before getting there but once we get there, we check in and hang out in the courtyard with some friends while we wait for the night to begin. Eventually a van shows up and takes us to the mother of the bride's house where there are drinks, fresh fruit, appetizers, and this elaborate show in the driveway to get the wedding festivities going. After the celebration we go back to the place and it turns out there was a big 75th bday for one of the grandma's associated with the family where we eat a little bit more (def not needed) and hang out for a bit before heading back to the hotel to hang with everyone by the pool for a few drinks before going to bed. Go up to the room to shower and there is no wifi, no hot water, the shower doesnt drain, and the shower head leaks and sprays everywhere which makes it really annoying. Must say, for a "resort", I was not really impressed but they did have a pool and nice grounds.
