I do not have plans for this Summer other than to take charge of our business for the Summer. Just when I thought that it's going to be all boring... suddenly I got an instant vacay bound for.... Bicol!
I was there for work by covering the Monitoring and Evaluation of an Non Government Organization and at the same time getting a vacay on the sides.
WARNING: Photo-loaded entry.
We stayed in a really good hotel (Euresian Hotel and Resort) for 6 days, we have no TV nor internet access (which is good because we were able to relax and disconnect from the real and reel world) but good thing there's cellphone signal for my network ( for Faye's network is invisible in the area).

 |
| Waiting for Boarding |
 |
| Our Tickets. We arrived on time, thank you AirPhils! ( But got delayed when we went back) |
 |
| What an 8 year old kid hand carry bag looks like |
 |
| Safety demo |
 |
| Just landed! Touchdown Legaspi City! ( We were also on the same flight with some Pinoy Celebrities, ha! talagang just had to say that, don't ask na lang, who. LOL! ) |
 |
| Had a beautiful view of the Mayon Volcano the minute we arrived! |
 |
| It's NO SMOKING all over the place in Legaspi ( but there are more foreigners/expat violators scattered around the place than Pinoys) |
 |
| Hotel and "Mess Hall" view |
We stayed here for six days.  |
| Our room |
 |
| Not a beach front but this... |
 |
| Rock Island |
 |
| View of the pool from one of the cottages |
 |
| Beach Read. Sunblock, Cam and Cellphone (just in case) |
 |
| View from some part of the pool |
 |
| My buddy burrito, Cheska |
We decided to take a walk (aka trespass) to the nearby beach resort to gather shells and take interesting photos at the same time.
 |
| A rented floating Beach Cottage |
 |
| Only little girl in the world peg |
 |
| I love this shot of Cheska that I took when we were picking shells! |
 |
| Took a photo of this group. I just couldn't help it. Attempt at beach pyramid = FAIL |
 |
| Corals Galore |
 |
| Took a photo of this guy wanting to have a new "Pam-profile" pic. I just couldn't resist capturing this photo moment. |
 |
| View from the third floor of the hotel |
 |
| Little girl showing me her beautiful tanned face |
 |
| Dining table are prepared every meal of the day like this |
On our last (whole) day, we finally went to that intriguing island right across the resort.
 |
| Kuya who took us to that intriguing island |
 |
| When we landed... NO SHORE! |
 |
| View from the big rock where I am seated ( dripping in sweat!) |
 |
| Thanks to Erna for my elevated flip flops. It saved me cuts from the shells. |
 |
| Alive and kicking Lapu Lapu in a soda bottle |
 |
| This is the boy (wearing that red weird clown wig ) who caught the lapu lapu fish in the bottle |
 |
| Gotta have some of that Island Lovin' |
 |
| See the stairs? You can climb up there! |
After the Island trip, we came home to this:
 |
| Best Mango Shake I've ever tasted... (so far) paired with Banana Cake! ( And I ain't even into fruits!) |
What's a vacay without a pasalubong?
 |
| Pasalubong.Arranged by Cheska. Get the Best Pasalubong from J.Emmanuel's Pasrty shop. ( They have it and we bought ours in SM City, Naga) |
 |
| The bed and playground at the same time |
 |
| Delayed flight. Legaspi Airport is the busiest especially on a Monday. |
 |
| Got a window seat when we went home, I was seated opposite Cheska and Faye |
 |
| Bye Mayon Volcano |
 |
| My new book that I got from a Book Sale in SM City Naga kept me company during the flight...well, at first. I got so busy taking pictures after a few minutes. |
I wonder which Island is that here:
 |
| This doesn't even function nor it does have a use |
 |
| Approaching Manila Pollution |
 |
| Cloud Shadows |
 |
| See those teeny tiny floating houses? |
 |
| You know you're fast approaching the city when your view looks like this |
 |
| Touchdown Manila! |
 |
| Had a great time bonding with Faye and Cheska! |
Tips/Reviews:
- Euresian Hotel and Resort is located in Pasacao, Camarines Sur.
- The location of our resort is 45 minutes of driving away from SM City Naga.
- They have the friendliest staff and excellent customer service
- Try their leche flan and Mango Shake.
- You must meet Lady Sarah, the owner of the resort. I wish I had taken a photo of her. You will know why.
- Get your Bicol Pasalubong from J.Emmanuel's Pastry shop
- You can rent a Taxi Van from the Resort to take you to Legaspi Airport for Php2700. (Others offer it for Php3000).
- No Smoking in Legaspi, but there are violators everywhere.
Enjoy the rest of the Summer! :)
