What comes to your mind every time you hear Legazpi City? Well, for me, I had no idea until I finally visited. I’ve mostly traveled around Cebu and Dipolog City, so this was actually my first time flying out of Cebu.
My aunt asked me to come with her to visit her boyfriend’s family, and she mentioned that we’d be seeing Mayon Volcano. I didn’t even know that Mayon Volcano is in Legazpi City, lol.
Anyway, we only stayed for three days (yes, it’s just a short trip), and I didn’t get to take many photos. But here are a few snapshots from my trip.
The family of my aunt’s boyfriend owns a small portion of land near Mayon Volcano. Their house is very close to the volcano, which gave me a great view of it during my visit. There was also a small amount of lava flowing from the crater at the time, and it looked especially beautiful at night. Too bad the photos are gone now.
Locals said that this (photo below) was once a barangay, but a lahar flow washed it away into the ocean. It feels eerie to think that I might be stepping on a mass grave as we passed through this area.
It was a fun morning walk and it’s so nice to see the Mayon volcano up close.
