Lazy Afternoon in Sorsogon City

Day 1
November 26, 2011
Sorsogon City

It was while hanging out at Starbucks' that the trip to Bicol initially came up. I did not expect anything to materialize after that night but a few days after, a flight was already booked for the group - Ryan, Migs, Marianne, Susanne, Jovie, Vhy and Grace. Apparently, the discussion that night was serious. Thine, Aimee, and Marc later on decided to join the trip.

We arrived at Legazpi airport at past noon and  immediately booked a van to bring us to Sorsogon city where we  planned to stay for the night. Our flight was actually moved (at least we were informed a few days before) so that left us only the afternoon to roam around Sorsogon city.

Along the way, we made a brief stopover at the  fifties Hollywood-inspired Bigg's Diner, the biggest food chain in Bicol. The restaurant has a wide array of food to choose from - pastas, sandwiches, pizzas, chicken meals, and other dishes.The food do not exactly correlate to the ambiance of the place but they tasted great anyway.


Less than an hour later, we arrived at Fernandos hotel - a nice little inn with a rustic atmosphere. After a brief rest, we set out to wander around the city. We were supposed to go to Bulusan lake and national park but we had to cancel the plan since it was already late in the afternoon. We instead went to St. Peter and Paul cathedral and Sorsogon baywalk.
