Reminiscing Bicol Trip Part 2 - Mayon Volcano

DAY 2

I was born in Camarines Sur but I have not seen Mayon Volcano. My mother said after a year she brought me to Manila so I had no chance of seeing Mayon. It was through her stories then that I become so fascinated with Mayon. She said that it is so beautiful especially when it erupts that they would go to a nearer place just to witness its' actual bursting of lava.

But whenever my father invites me to go with him in Bicol I always refuses since I know that they have a family disputes there. My only exception is that if we'll visit Mayon Volcano then I'll gladly go with him. And that happened three years ago when my brother decided to spend their vacation in Bicol and convinced me to go with them,"para mas tipid daw, kaming tatlong magkakapatid ang maghahati sa gastos."And so I agreed, since I've been wanting to see Mayon up close.

Day 2 - I was excited because finally I'll be meeting Mayon for real, hahah...but we made a stopover first at Dad's Pinangat to have a lunch - foods are great especially the "pinangat", panalo talaga!

Already had a glimpse of Mayon here :)

Lunch Time at Dad's Pinangat

Special "Pinangat"

After that satisfying & scrumptious lunch @ Dad's Pinangat, we headed to Cagsawa to finally catch the beauty of Mayon Volcano unfortunately she was hiding in the clouds when we got there so we just stroll around and waited for hours.

Until finally she reveals her beauty...

An up close view of Mayon Volcano :)

 That side of Mayon Volcano is where the lava usually flows, the other side of her is greener and more beautiful. I'll search for that photos & put it on my next posts.

 

 And before Mt. Mayon hides again in the clouds, we took the opportunity to have a few shots with her...
