Good bye...........Mayon

At last we reached the Mt. Mayon station and we immediately put our cameras in motion. Picture doon, picture dito, then takbo sa souvenir shop and buy some pasalubong again for those waiting at home. But there's not much to be bought at the place. Many of them are the usual t-shirts with the Mt. Mayon as background picture and some key-chain with the Mt. Mayon embedded or carved into the shell of the pili nut.There are also several orchid varieties native to the place, but I didn't buy because of the hustle of carrying them back home. I promised that next time, I will be visiting the place with a bigger car, or a mini bus.

Trip to Bicol............the land of

We left Albay province and its beautiful Mt. Mayon, promising to visit the active volcano more closely later when we return back. We reached Naga City about noon and partake our lunch in a local restaurant and taste the local food being offered. As a true blooded Bicolano, I decided to order some of the local foods that they can offer, starting with the "Bicol express" and others that seems so exotic to our taste buds.
An hour later, we are already on our way to Vinzons, Camarines Norte where my relatives are expecting us.
