Day 207
Feb 27 2015 Santander Philippines
The first stop of the day was at a local
market to purchase some food for the next few days. We got chicken, fish, squid as well as some
vegetables. We tried to take money out of
the only ATM in the area but it was off line so tomorrow we have to go to a
neighbouring island where hopefully we will have better luck. After the market we went to Oslob to go
swimming with the whale sharks. It was
very cool to be swimming so close to such a large fish. Isabel freaked out when a whale shark swam
very close to her with its mouth sucking in water and wanted to get back in the
boat. After the whale shark swim we went
to Tumalag Falls ticket area. We paid 40
PHP for the entrance and 150 PHP for 3 motorcycles to take us into the falls and
back. At the falls the kids and I went
swimming. The water was cool as was the
area around the falls from all of the mist.
When the falling water hit your head it actually hurt a bit. It is a very nice water fall. The rest of the day was spent swimming,
reading and doing homework. We got an e-mail
from Airbnb saying that we had 3 options.
#1. Look for a new host and they would refund our original purchase
price plus 20%. #2. Take a refund on our original purchase price
if we could not find a suitable place in the area. #3. They would assist us in getting
compensation from the host for the lack of amenities. We are going to go with option #1 or #2 as
without the pool and beach we are in a pretty isolated area. If we had a pool and beach like we were
supposed to it would have been a very nice place to relax for 15 days.
