Everyone knows about Mt. Mayon, and I agree that its a a must see. But in Bicol you will find Bacacay beach. Its actually a black sand beach. Now for us Filipinos, we don’t really give a premium for dark colored sand, but one night I saw a feature about several foreigners goind to Bicol specifically for that. But overall the whole place is nice. The markets, the food, I forgot what you call the squshed fried bannana, but its good. And what about the quality metal work that they do, abaca weaved bags and sweets. Oh well if you can brave the 8 hour car drive its worth going to. Oh I forgot you can take the plane.
