Days 29 to 30 - Mactan (Cebu)
Just a couple of lazy days at the Shangri-La resort on Mactan Island, so not much of note to write about.
Each morning we took advantage of the nice (though incredibly busy) buffet breakfast. The first day we ate in the main restaurant and had to queue for about 15 minutes just to get a table. The second day we went to the smaller breakfast in the Ocean wing, which was more relaxed and overall more pleasant.
M did a little bit of exploring, walking along the main road and then down to the Hilton ferry port where you can get a ferry to Olango Island, but when the sun was out it was very hot and humid so his exploring was limited.
We walked around the nicely manicured grounds and checked out the shops and cafes at the resort. We did notice that there were a lot of children around, also that 90 percent (or more) of the guests were Asian, and we had read that the Philippines is a major destination for South Koreans.
Each day we'd go to the beach bar for happy hour, it closed at 6pm which seemed a little on the early side to us, though as the sun was setting around 5:30pm it kind of made sense.
