nap, freshening up, and having breakfast, we were taken by our guide to Cagsawa, the famous church and bell tower which was reduced to ruins during an eruption in February 1814. The full view of the volcano was awesome, partly because there were not much clouds that day.
From one of the souvenir shops, I got a free cell phone pouch (I was so excited because “I love Bicol” was printed on it! You will see it encircled in the photo) for buying 3 sandos for my nephews. We used it for my digicam, but unfortunately, we lost it after around 5 hours in a beach. Huhuhu..Our guide then took us to Albay Parks and Wildlife, where we took more pictures in the lagoon
area and with the animals. This was where I saw for the first time a bird calledbleeding heart pigeon, which can be found only in the Philippines! Check out why (zoom the picture and be amazed!) After a hot and tiring tour, we had late lunch at…tadaaah --- Jollibee Rizal Street! Miss ko kagad ube keso special eh..
We went back to the inn to get swim stuff, and proceeded to Sto. Domingo, a coastal town rather far from Legazpi, where we scouted for a nice resort. The beaches had dark sand, which was typical of areas with volcanoes.
It was almost dark when we went back to the inn. After resting a bit, we went out again at 7pm for dinner. Randy had in mind a somewhat special place, the resto in Hotel Venezia. Kami lang ang andun the whole time! It was a memorable dinner for both of us, for me especially. It was sort of the culmination of a lot of Randy's hard work for the past few months.
So ends our first day in Albay. Watch out for the next part of this blog about this trip..
