My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding
anniversary in Legaspi City and Misibis Bay. We actually score a good offer of
Misibis Bay during the travel expo last year which includes airfare and
accommodation. I will have a separate post for our Misibis Bay trip. For now I
share you some of the highlights of our Legazpi Half-day city tour.
Our flight schedule to Legazpi is 5am, so we were at
the airport as early as 3:30am. Imagine
I wake up my kids at 2:30am, binihisan nalang sila since they already took a
bath on the evening. There are so many firsts on this trip, our first PAL
experience, Rhaine’s first flight, our first travel as family of four and our
first visit at Bicol. So imagine how excited I am about this trip.
Mount Mayon is an active volcano with perfect shape and
can be seen from any corner in Bicol. My husband is so lucky to capture the
volcano during our early morning trip.
We didn’t avail the tour packages that Misibis Bay
offer, ang mahal kasi imagine they will charged us Php 5k for 2-3 hours tour. Pricey!
Good thing our friend helped us looked for the van who will tour us around the city;
we just pay Php 2,500 for the van and gave our driver/tour guide / photographer
a tip.
Our first destination is the famous Cagsawa Ruins. This
is always a part of every trip in Legaspi and this has always been a must see
place for tourist. Entrance fees are collected at the gate for only Php
20/each. I believe they will use it for the maintenance of the ruins. I was
surprised how beautiful the place is, I remember the Ruins of St. Paul during our
anniversary trip at Macau, ang ganda nya promise! Since the weather at Legazpi
is unpredictable, we just enjoy the gloomy weather that day.

| Welcome to Legazpi City! |
Cagsawa Church was destroyed and buried during the
eruption of the Mayon Volcano in February 1, 1814 and this church bell tower
remains uncovered by the volcanic debris. This is one of the perfect places
where Mayon Volcano appears to be a perfect cone. Kaya lang mukhang nahihiya si
Mayon sa amin magpakita eh.
After Cagsawa Ruins, our next destination was the
Sumlang Lake. I will write about this place on the blog soon.
