Lignon Hill, Legazpi, Albay

The sign at the entrance gate of Lignon Hill

After checking in at Mayon Backpackers Inn and resting a bit, we started our day tour of Legazpi. We left the inn at around 8:30AM and head to the plaza to catch a jeep that would pass by Lignon Hill. From the Legazpi City hall, the fare up to Lignon Hill was P10. It's not easy to miss as there are  huge signs of Lignon Hill along the road or you can just ask the jeepney driver to drop you off there.

Bicol Trip Day 1: Exploring Bicol's Beauty

What do I have in mind related to Bicol? Well, some are Mt. Mayon, pili nuts, pristine beaches to mention. Bicol has many wonders that is just waiting to be discovered. This is my first local travel this year that is far from Manila. And for the past travel trips I've been to, this is somewhat mixed of planned and unplanned things. Confusing? Let me share to you guys..

The Very Familiar Cagsawa Ruins of Daraga, Albay

You would see it in almost every photo of Mt. Mayon, a ruined church tower with the grand perfect cone of Mt. Mayon standing on the background. But what exactly is that tower and what is the story behind it? I too have always wondered about that but I never thought that reaching that place is very easy.

Where to stay in Bolinao: Bing's Beach Resort

We were actually supposed to stay at one of the cottages in Patar Beach but Patar Road is just so bad, it's not paved, it's dusty, and filled with sharp rocks, that we felt that the vehicle we are using might give up long before we reach Patar Beach. So just as we were about half way to Patar Beach from Bolinao town proper, we saw Bing's Beach Resort which spans on both side of the road where the one facing the beach is the resort and on other side is the hotel.
