Philippines - Donsol, Sorgoson Island

We leave for Legazpi on Cebu Pacific - it's only an hour's flight and we see some gorgeous islands on the way. We land in Legazpi with a great view of the Mt Mayon volcano.

We try to find some other travellers to share a van to Donsol but they all prefer to take the shared van from the terminus. We don't want to cut it too close since the last van is around 4pm and it's getting close to that time. So we splurge and take the van by ourselves.

We arrive at Armor Farm Resort (P1000 per night for a fan room) around 4:30pm, check-in and walk to the Donsol Tourism Office to register (one off P300 pp) for snorkelling with Whale Sharks in the morning. Shortly after Barbara and Martin from Vienna, Austria, who were at the airport and took the shared transport turn up - they paid about 1/8th what we did (P75pp rather than P1200), so we defintely plan to take the shared van on the way back! As it's up to 6 people per boat (P3500), we decide to go snorkelling together tomorrow.
