Bicol Road Trip - Day 1

We set off for our 10 hours drive to Bicol super early in the morning ....

We drove through, miles and miles, and miles and miles of beautiful countryside, parang feeling mo nasa Amorsolo painting!
Migs was a good boy naman (except for the puking bit- Thank God for Gatorade), he kept himself amused with his DVDs & books, his cars and snacks.
We drove and drove and drove some more - not even stopping for lunch (we all prepared pineapple & pimiento and chicken sandwiches the night before).

So after 8 hours, we finally stopped in Naga for Papa and Awi to get a chance to rest and for us to eat yummy goto & halohalo at Bigg's Diner ( a super popular food chain in Bicol).
Migs had chocolate cake - obvious ba sa moustache?
Pose muna siempre!

And we were off again!!!

And of course, we had to stop to look in awe at the pride of Bicol - The truly Beautiful Mayon volcano ! We had to stop and take a pic ( actually lots of pics) of course!

Migs working it...




At last, after driving for 10 hours, we finally arrived at Tabaco, so we decided to just eat out after checking in at our hotel.


We ate at one of the biggest fast-food chains in Bicol - Graceland!

And since this is Bicol after all, the meals included laing!!! And it was one of the yummiest laings I have ever tasted. Yummmo!!!

After our dinner, Lola NIng treated us all to Pinipig ice-cream!
Posing with the Graceland mascot - a red penguin named Gweeny!

We returned to our hotel rooms to find out that during our dinner, nag brownout!!! Ngii!!!

At last, Man's greatest invention, the generator finally worked!!! Huurah!!!

Now, we have lights, aircon and TV (buti nalang Mama & Nes were getting quite desperate kasi Lobo time na!)

Time to have a nice sleep, and prepare for tomorrow's ferry to Virac!
