A whale of a disappointment

Rode into Donsol on the roof with some kids from school, who pointed me to Giddy's Space, not the cheapest, but free wifi and breakfast and it's only 2 nights. Had a wander round town, walked through the market and watched a basketball game. Then took a tricycle across town to register for whale sharks tomorrow. Could not believe my …

    “Back Packer Room”

    Stayed here two nights. Would not recommend for backpackers as there are a couple other places in town that are cheaper and nicer. This is more of a resort with a couple of backpacker rooms, but the prices for food, tour and drinks are out of my budget. Comes with a free breakfast though. Nice.
