Budget accommodation

Many of you will not be surprised to learn that Linda often thinks that I do not pay enough attention to the cost or our accommodation when we are travelling and occasionally she puts the foot down and insists that she will take care of the next booking.
As I write this in our room on the first floor landing of Canoa's Inn, I must be grateful that we are only here for one night. While we have stayed in some 'interesting' places over the last 15 years or so this may be one of the all time lows.
While our host Sr Alberto could not have been more friendly and welcoming - with WiFi which stretches all the way to our room - we are still trying to decide whether either of us will use the shower in the morning.
Canoa is a bit of a surfer town - which thankfully has some excellent fish restaurants - and Tuesday night is happy hour at the Surf Shack so the bucket-sized cocktails were only 3 bucks each but that may be all there is to recommend it.
In the morning we are off to an Organic permaculture farm for 4 nights which should prove very interesting but have just learned that in addition to no WiFi, cellular or television they also do not allow any alcohol - neither Jimmy C nor Mr Page would swap places with me now.
I am sure we will collect some stories over the next few days but you will have to wait until Sunday or Monday for the next installment.
