Even before I left for Bicol, I was in constant communication with my friend. Joey, who is based in Albay, as a Med Rep. When he learned I was coming to Bicol he said he would take me on a tour as long as he is available. Unfortunately he was on a client call the day I arrived so we met the day after. Our first stop, Tabaco City.
Tabaco is about 20 minutes drive from Legazpi. On our way, the devastation from the most recent eruption of Mayon Volcano and the strong typhoon after was evident as there were boulders along the road, houses buried in dark ashes and lahar, roads and bridges under construction - what a distressing sight.
No surprises, it never stopped raining that day. In Tabaco, we just managed to take some pictures at the Tabaco church (San Juan Bautista Cathedral, the plaza and the City Hall then visit some of Joey's doctor friends who treated us for lunch - and left for Daraga and Cagsawa Ruins.
