We started to go to a road trip during long vacation, we traveled up north towards Ilocos Province and have seen beautiful places and meet wonderful people in respective municipalities.
Now it’s time for us to travel far down south towards the Bicol Province to see the beauty it has and the fun it can give more to traveler or tourist like us.
At first we decided to drive straight to our destination because we don’t want to experience the long traffic we might have in front of us because as I have said it’s a long holiday in Manila and most will be spending their vacations at their home provinces. So we drove straight towards Legazpi City instead of stopping from a place and visit each towns landmarks.

Actually Mayon is not really located inside the city of Legazpi, It is located at the middle of various towns of Albay. Viewing on top, of course via Map, Mayon is divided into a pizza like geographical locations, we decided to visit some of the towns around Mayon to know its unique trademarks. We started at Legazpi City.
