Hilton in Lapu-Lapu

During our last few days, Neil & I really wanted to do some snorkeling.  We had been looking around at some places and figured we'd stay at the Hilton.  I told Freddie we looked into staying at Plantation Bay but we decided not to because he might think we were copying him.  *lol*

Anyway...we did get to do some snorkeling.  Not to mention we also had goggles, so when we done renting the equipment we could still look around.  I think we spent about 5 or 6 hours in the sun.  And I got sunburned.  On my forehead.  It was nuts.  I thought I had a bad case of dandruff until Neil pointed out that my forehead was peeling.  *lol*

Neil thought this was neat.  A coconut tree at night.  

On the night we arrived there was a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.  They had a choir that sang some Christmas carols and these children from a local school put on a dance.  As you can see, Santa also joined them.

And these were the trees that they lit.  I have to say, it's strange seeing Christmas trees where there isn't any snow!

And here is the choir.

Neil snorkeling.  I hope he didn't scare the fish away...

The beach!
