Just a little background, Cagsawa Church was built in 1733 and was destroyed when the eruption of Mayon Volcano on February 1814 took place. With the eruption happening, it buried the town and has killed an estimated number of 1200 people. It has been the most strongest eruption of the volcano recorded in history. And that is also why this place is famous. Because it has a big impact on the history of Albay.

Maybe because I don't know what this province offers. But being my adventurous self, I thought that maybe this is a good time to visit this place. Exploring a place that's not so main stream is definitely fun. Our original plan was to tour around the Bicol area for Holy week. But a week before, the tour agency texted us that it wasn't pushed through because there are no enough joiners for that particular tour. At first, I was quite disappointed because I was already looking forward to see the \u003ci\u003ebuntandings \u003c/i\u003ein Donsol. Whale shark encounters are very exciting! Oh well. Maybe next time. And because of that, they offered a refund or asked us if we wanted to join other tours. Choices are Cagayan and Sorsogon. And we chose Sorsogon. We do not have enough time to look for other Bicol tours that offer whale shark encounters in Donsol due to our busy sched and because upon researching before, there are no other travel agency that offers such activity. The main deciding factor in choosing Sorsogon was the fact that we wanted to look for a lobster as Sorsogon is very abundant in sea foods. Haha! And because part of the itinerary was a stop over at Cagsawa Ruins. I really wanted to see Mayon up close.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcczCoOW4Us/VvtFtSu1DxI/AAAAAAAAECA/qMyT9YPqykYxBm73QZvZYxQ86-l6oB7Mw/s1600/2016_0324_145906_001.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ueFZ0XZstw/VvtG-dvRGyI/AAAAAAAAEC8/8S2SNnlYDkcPMNWRdAovp6GUgc0arTChw/s1600/IMG_6270.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Kakanon Bicol\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"480\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ueFZ0XZstw/VvtG-dvRGyI/AAAAAAAAEC8/8S2SNnlYDkcPMNWRdAovp6GUgc0arTChw/s640/IMG_6270.JPG\" title\u003d\"Kakanon Bicol\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcczCoOW4Us/VvtFtSu1DxI/AAAAAAAAECA/qMyT9YPqykYxBm73QZvZYxQ86-l6oB7Mw/s1600/2016_0324_145906_001.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"on the way to Sorsogon\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"480\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcczCoOW4Us/VvtFtSu1DxI/AAAAAAAAECA/qMyT9YPqykYxBm73QZvZYxQ86-l6oB7Mw/s640/2016_0324_145906_001.JPG\" title\u003d\"on the way to Sorsogon\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\nAnd it happened.
