from the hotel, marred by man-made “useful things”
@ the “our lady of the gate” church
@cagsawa ruins after circling the heart of albay
@ the mayon resthouse’s planetarium
at the mayon rest house, still hiding
as seen at the cagsawa ruinsmt mayon i realized was quite a bashful one. i had dreamt of seeing mt mayon in all its naked glory, with nary a cloud on its majestic bearing. alas, it was not meant to be.
i had to content with seeing glimpses of its near-perfect cone but i was comforted with the thought that some visitors never got to get a glimpse of that until their nth visit.
one hint though given to us by the children who sell their wares and offer trick shot tips, mt mayon keeps a 6am to 7am schedule. so, for those whose lifelong dream is to see mayon up close and personal, you know when to go to cagsawa!
my take
