This was our last day in Bicol. We planned in waking up earlier than 5am for us to be able to arrive at Legaspi before 7am (I've learned that the majestic Mayon Volcano hides with the clouds when it gets late in the morning). But because of laziness, we prepared late.
From Mama Fe's house, we rode a jeepney going to Sorsogon City at 7 PHP/each. Then when we got there, we took a van (80 PHP/each), travel time of one hour. On our way to Legaspi, luckily, we witnessed how awesome Mayon is! I got amazed on its perfect-cone shape! She said hi! ^__^ And I was grateful!
We talked to the driver and negotiated to accompany us at the famous Cagsawa Ruins. Kuya was very kind and said yes. It was not allowed for them to have sidetrips, he said. But maybe Kuya needed money badly, ehehe.
When we reached Cagsawa Ruins we paid 10 PHP/each for the park's entrance fee and a parking fee of 20 PHP. We didn't see Mayon Volcano's perfect cone, as what I expected she got shy and hid. So then, we just had photo opps without the postcard perfect Mayon, sigh. :(
Our flight was at 1:15pm. It was still past the hour of ten, but we didn't wanted to be late at check-in again. So after some picture-taking at Cagsawa Ruins, and buying some "pasalubongs" we hurriedly went through the airport.
We ate lunch at the canteen beside the airport and ordered combo meals. 2 viands (meat and vegies) + rice + drinks for 100 PHP, was not bad though.
After eating, we proceeded inside the airport to check-in. We were very early when we knew that our flight was delayed due to airport congestion! Haha! But we waited patiently. :)
And at long last! After so may hassles and hindrances along our journey, my siblings Teban and Memer's dream to ride a plane came true! Haha! They were very happy and glad! They both seated beside the window.
All the hardships and difficulties was worth it, as I saw those smiles on my siblings, Pap and Sepo's faces. 'Till our next Bicol Trip! So long Bicol! We shall return!
