Magayon!!!

We spent our Holy Week exploring the Bicol region. Pinakamalayo ko nang napuntahan sa South Luzon before this trip is Camarines Norte. Now, I can proudly say that we’ve conquered the Bicol region! Hehehe.

With 3 drivers, and a total of 28 hours on the road, with all the curves—the most extreme called “Bitukang Manok” because of its similarity to the intestines—and all the mountains of rich forestry, we had an adventurous and relaxing time.

Pero pinakamasaya ang pagtanaw namin sa Mayon Volcano. True to its name which is derived from the Bicolano word “magayon” which means maganda, it’s really a breathtaking sight. Sabi nila, swerte raw pag nakita mo ang tip ng Mayon kasi most of the time natatakpan ito ng ulap. AY! Ang swerte namin! Kasi the whole time na nandon kami, nakikita ang tip.

Of course binisita rin namin ang Cagsawa Ruins. Ito ang church na natabunan noong sumabog ang Mayon. Naiwan na lang ang belfry at bubungan ng dormitory.

Hay... ang ganda ng Pilipinas!!!
