We got up at the ungodly hour of 4am on Day 4. Who gets up at 4am while they're on holiday? I guess we did. Anneka had arranged for a boat on the previous day to go out for some dolphin watching. At first we weren't interested since it entailed unnatural waking hours, but we eventually got around to her idea.

It was quite a trip, except that there were about a dozen boats chasing the dolphines like a pack of rabid wolves. So the dolphins were just running, or going deep. Our skipper was pretty good in reading dolphin sign, and more often than not, we got quite close to a fleeing pod
After dolphin watching, we went to look for whales and other sea creatures. I spotted a couple, but did not get a good closeup. My camera only had about 3x zoom.
It's only 8-frigging-o'clock and we're already heading back to the resort. Time for nappy nap.

There was this extremely phallic pole sticking out of the beach right next to our resort. Of course, I had to go sit on the pole for posterity. There's nothing like squatting on a huge staff to get your morning going.

After two awful nights of horrible service, we decide to venture away from the resort to look for alternate food. We found this quaint little hut next door with a HUGE grill going and an amazing selection of food. Those were our orders btw, a couple of pork bellies, a couple of chicken thighs, some pork chops and a couple of marlin steaks. That was the best meal I had since arriving on Philippines. The service was excellent too....unlike a certain resort I shan't mention.
