We had another fine breakfast and as we were finishing up we heard the drums beating. We knew from before that this signals the start of a wedding procession. We headed up stairs and were able to get much better footage for the event. Later we spent time at the beach and got our stuff ready for our imminent departure. In the evening we met with Duke and JP, a father and son that we met a few days earlier. The hotel put on a Cultural Show that had four different dancers. They used masks, fire sticks and torches. A fine day for us.
This is one of the traditional demon masks
Nice decorations in the breakfast area
