For there are always surprisingly good surprises before goodbye.

This Albay city tour was not in Pop’s rough itinerary for this trip but since we felt we could squeeze in an activity before our 2PM trip back home, we decided it was a go for this one. First half of that day then spent at Five Views where there is view of peaks of the most famous Mayon Volcano as well as mountains of Malinao, Masaraga, Iriga and Isarog, Lignon Hill where there is yet another view of Mayon as well as city of Legazpi, at postcard-famous Cagsawa Ruins then finally at its replica church in Daraga.
Quiet morning from our villa’s terrace.
~~~
What used to be busy with all non-motorized activities
~~~
One of those feet shots
~~~
While waiting for us to be checked out
~~~
Like a sharpened giant pencil
~~~
Not space-saver but I just love this table
~~~
Guess its perspective
~~~
Oh these independent kids…
~~~
… and this cutest little girl
~~~
At Five Views, finally Mayon almost showed its perfect cone
~~~
Less than those five but still quite a view
~~~
Quite a family picture
~~~
Now on this side of the bridge
~~~
View of Legazpi from the hill
~~~
Airport runway also visible
~~~
Because our Kuya tour guide wanted to take our photo from here
~~~
Not-so-perfect Mayon again
~~~
In a few minutes it changes
~~~
I should have brought those round holders of whatnot
~~~
Cloudless
~~~
Why this squint, my brother?
~~~
One of the most fun shots for this trip
~~~
… and this one’s just pacute.
~~~
This one’s a fail but it was funny how it looked like I was about to step on a stranger she.
~~~
Oh there you are again, tip of the cone!
###
Behind the scenes of Pop’s fun photo
###
On the way to ‘inside’ of the church
###
Another photo op spot c/o our guide photographer
###
Solo “pacute” shot
###
That half arc a window, actually
###
Wall ruins in panorama
###
Family picture while perfectness revealed
###
Oh those giant rocks
###
Oh what fine weather
###
And so this proves my fascination with the partially exposed rocks
###
And another one by the belltower
###
Food and drink stalls on the left side facing the view
###
Finally got to try chili ice cream
###
From where we had our chili ice cream
###
Twins?
###
Colorful native items for sale
###
Souvenirs overflow beside the ruins
###
Not as old as what was buried definitely, but this has its sign of years
###
Oh Mr/Ms Sun
###
At church in Daraga
###
Interesting furniture in here, huh
###
More cute creations at the airport cafe
###
From Daraga Church, we were brought to the airport around noon. We were early so after checking in, we spent some time at some cafe to grab some eats and do last-minute pasalubong/take-home shopping.
I am no travel planner.
