Relishing the summer interlude, I brought my camera with me to Albay Province where I got to see for myself the famed Mayon Volcano. Situated 15 kilometres northwest of Legazpi City, it is renowned for its perfect cone. I took less than an hour to reach Legaspi via plane from Cebu.
Mayon Volcano has the most symmetrical volcano in the world. Mayon Volcano bares its serene exquisiteness with sporadic tendrils of smoke rising from its crater. Clouds every now and then wrap the volcano, concealing its grandeur from the admiring eyes of the sightseers. It’s also amazing that you can see the volcano from almost every part of the province and even from the neighboring island province of Catanduanes.
I then hopped on a van for an hour's trip to Tabaco, Albay port where a ship transported me, after another two hours, to San Andres, Catanduanes. This pearly island in the pacific offer scenic natural surroundings. A laid back rural charm virtually untouched, unspoiled and unexplored. If one looks for a serene feel, a lifestyle among gracious people away from the bustling urban pace, Catanduanes Island is just perfect!
