Bicol Region - Sorsogon, Albay, Camsur trip (thread III)

[nettai]

...can the van drive next to the lake, or do we have to walk from the entrance?

I cannot answer anything re: Pilar to you (sorry), but yeap katabi lang ng parking yung lake. May mga cold springs rin around Bulusan lake; I think Balay Buhay sa Uma will do.

Matnog is also a good alternative, but if boats can get by the islands there, methinks keri nyo rin pumunta ng Caramoan; ituloy nyo na lang yun.

FYI lang sa mga bbyahe, mainit na dito

Hi mga sissies, I hope someone can answer me on this,
From Naga, gano pa kalayo to commute Tabaco Port? I' m trying to search on web and it seems, may mga van bound to Tabaco sa Naga Van Terminal. I hope someone can confirm that and how much would be the fare. TIA!

[chiqmom]

^hello sis, yes meron van from Naga going to Tabaco. More or less, 3 hours ang byahe. hindi ko alam how much pamasahe. but yes, better mag van ka although mas expensive siya kesa sa bus. sa bus kasi aabutin ka ng ilang oras.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ Thanks Chiqmom for the quick response, appreciate it!

Just a couple of weeks, and I'm back in Bicol region again. Cant  get enough
Will be leaving Friday Night bound to Legazpi with mom.  Checking yun google map, dadaanan namin yun mga town ng Camalig (Cagsawa Ruins) and Daraga (Daraga Church) before we reach Legazpi proper, I hope someone here can confirm that. I prefer sana na bumaba na dito at pumunta very early morning bago dumiretso ng Legazpi and then to our accommodation. Is that possible? or mas mahirap mag commute and better na bumaba sa Legazpi at dun pa manggaling papunta sa mga tourist spots na ito? TIA!

[chiqmom]

yes sis, if you are travelling from manila, dadaanan niyo muna ang Camalig before Legazpi.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ thanks sis chiqmom for answering my queries.

We are set to go directly to Cagsawa Ruins and then Daraga Church before heading to Legazpi to check-in. I saw Sumlang Lake and I would love to include it in our 1st day itinerary. Mas mauuna ba ito?

[chiqmom]

Yes, if travelling from Manila mas mauuna ang Sumlang lake, then Cagsawa, and Daraga Church na.

^ thanks sis  chiqmom!

Hello. Question po, san meron bang makakainan ng lobster in Naga?  Yun mga paluto style lang preferably para mura. TIA.

[baliwsayo]

Meron po bang cheaper transpo going to Misibis Bay?

[crookshanks]

I?m hoping there?s someone from Bicol who can answer. With the alert level sa Mayon, i?m thinking if we should cancel our trip this Sunday. Last year pa namin to nabook as well as yung hotel namin for 3d/2n. Parang may nabasa kase ko na yung Legazpi is malayo sa PDZ and even EDZ. So nagdadalawang isip ako if tuloy namin or hindi. Our 2nd day is sa Misibis. Rebooking will not be an option kase pisofare lang yung plane tickets namin. Hope someone can advise nung situation in Legazpi. Thanks.

[chiqmom]

hello sis, I'm in Legazpi. So far, normal pa naman yung situation dito. Yung mga areas lang malapit sa Mayon (6 kilometers) sila yung inevacuate. May ashfall na din sa ibang lugar.  Ang worry lang is yung paglapag ng eroplano. I heard, 2 flights daw ang hindi nakalanding kanina, not sure if it is because of the weather or of Mayon. I'll ask a friend about this. Will keep you updated, perhaps tomorrow.

[crookshanks]

^thanks sis! We?re really looking forward to this trip pero siyempre if it?s not safe di namin ipipilit.

[chiqmom]

^sorry sis nalimot ko magreply kahapon. medyo mas maayos ngayon yung mayon compared last january 15. may naglalanding naman na mga eroplano. yung issue lang sa legazpi lately is yung ulan kaya d makalanding pero okay ngayong araw.

[crookshanks]

^thanks sis! Naku sana mas gumanda na situation sa Bicol. I?ve been following the news din, for today wala ko masyado nabalitaan. Btw, may nabasa ko na safe pa din daw puntahan ang Cagsawa and Lignon Hills. Is this true kahit pumuputok ang Mayon? Yung mga inaadvise ba na magsuot ng mask is yung mga nasa PDZ lang ba?

we'll be in Legazpi this coming March.

Any suggestion for a 2-day itinerary for 3 pax (me and my senior citizens parents). exclude na pwedeng lakarin but a no-no sa mga steep at hiking mode. 

Or maybe you can recommend tour guide.

I'm interested sa ATV activities (kahit i-back ride ko na lang mga seniors ko!) 

TIA!
