Bicol Express!!!!

We went to Bicol last weekend with friends on a road trip. We left Manila at 2am and arrived in Camarines Sur at around 10AM. We stayed at Camarines Sur WaterSports Complex on one of their wooden cabins. The place has villas that was beautifully landscaped and the brown colors of the cabins makes it look like you are on an upscale subdivision. Grabbed a lunch and quick nap, then we proceeded to Lago Del rey, A man-made lake complete with inflatables and obstacle course to play around. Jethro had a lot of fun swimming on his own, with life vest of course. The trampoline was a lot of fun. The obstacle course was pretty hard, though. There were two big inflatables called ‘icebergs’, one was around ten feet high, the other 20 feet. I only tried climbing the shorter one and when I got to the top, I was almost out of breath and had to rest for a while before jumping.

At night time we, the lake closes so we moved to the wakeboarding lake. I only tried the kneeboarding. It was such an experience given that I’m not the sporty type of person. Really tested my stamina though.

The next day, we’re on the road again to see the majestic Mayon Volcano. On the way to the mayon, you will be awed by its beauty. The perfect cone shape is something you will only see here. Zooming in on my camera, you can see the ridges where the lava flowed from previous eruptions. Cagsawa Ruins is a delight to see. To behold the actual ruins you only see on pictures before. Similar to the feeling I had when I first looked at the Chocolate Hills in Bohol. We had picture taking and one of the guide was kind enough to take trick shots using our cameras.






We went back to CWC for more swimming and we let Jethro enjoy the water. We went back to Manila the next day with cramps on shoulder and legs from an exhausting but unforgettable activities in Bicol.
