Happy Easter, everybody! This is the time of the year that is worth celebrating because it's the time that God affirms how much HE loves us.
I took a few days off (Wed - Fri) this Holy Week and spent it in Bicol. All the while I was thinking of REST, REST, and REST, but, boy, I was wrong! We literally drove around Sorsogon and Legazpi and were soo tired after, but we definitely had a wonderful time!
Here are the places that we've been to, that you may want to check out too:
- Cagsaua Ruins - well, this is my third time here. I posted some pictures of this place too. Kind of depressing here since the all of the houses surrounding this place were wiped out by the typhoon.
- CWC (CamSur Watersports Complex) - do you want to try wakeboarding? Oh, this is definitely the place! Cheap pa. :)
- Butanding Encounter at Donsol - I thought the boat was a little expensive, but, when we got to encounter a butanding (whale shark), wow, it was definitely worth it pala! Butandings were huge! I screamed when I first saw it. We weren't able to take a picture of it (while in the water) since our camera (which is supposedly "water-proof" didn't turn on). Haaaay.
- Rizal Beach at Irosin, Sorsogon - Nothing special here. But better than what we have in Bacon. Oh, we found out that Alex hates the sand. :(
- Bulusan Lake - it's an hour away from Rizal Beach. Nice place for trekking and kayak.
- Sanbinon Hot and Cold Springs - This place was really crowded! It was as if, all the people from Sorsogon were here! LOL!
- Satellite Market - for shopping native bags and stuff, this place is highly recommended! We went here twice! LOL!
- DJC Halo-halo - located in front of the Pacific Mall. Oh, the best Halo-halo I've ever tasted!
- Gasthof - Our fave resto in Boracay is now in Daraga. I love their Baby Back Ribs!
- Daraga Church - located on top of a mountain, when you get here, you'll see the whole Legazpi. Sayang, we got here around 7pm already so we weren't able to take some pictures.
Well, we've been to a lot of places considering that we only had 3 days (Wed, Thurs, and Sat). I've been to Bicol for the 3rd time already but, this is the only time that I get to discover and love the place more.
