Day 2
Our Day started early with the breakfast we ordered the night before. A quick tricycle ride brought us back to the Tourism Office where we settled our fees, watched the video tutorial and await our boarding.

| Dons Whale Encounter Boat Ride |
Unlike Oslob, where the Whale Sharks are being lured to your boats, in Donsol, we adjust to the Whale Sharks feeding pattern. Fins and Mask are helpful to catch up with these gentle giants. Tours can take up to 3 hours.
We were not disappointed during our visit. After swimming for a few minutes, we were back on our boats and to the boarding station. We were surprised that the encounter was done in two hours.

| Lunch at Woodland Resort |
We decided to extend our stay in Donsol, instead of spending the night in Naga as originally planned. This gives us another day to explore the nearby islands on the Burias Straight.
The remainder of the day was spent at the pool, with a crash course on Free Diving.

Since the weather improved, we decided to take the more than 1 hour drive back to Legaspi hoping that Mayon Volcano would grace us with her appearance for dinner.
We arrived in time for sunset on an elevated location close to The Oriental Legaspi.

We were not only rewarded with the best view, but the buffet at The Oriental proved to be a value for money. The spread included seafoods, complimented with an acoustic band, and a fire dance production just before we left.

We only had a few more hours remaining before the bar closes when we got back to the resort. After a few rounds of very lethal serving of Long Islands, we retired to our beds for another day of adventure.
