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.

I tell you, it was a really looooooooooooooooong drive. Kudos to kuya Eddie for a job well done and a smooth drive to and fro our destination. We departed at 9PM and arrived after lunch to our destination. Which is San Mateo Hot and Cold Spring Resort. Well, not really. Planned itinerary for that day is island hopping. But upon arriving at the Matnog port, there are no more available boats. So instead of being disappointed, we have to be flexible. We first went to the resort and had our island hopping the next day, which by the way is very fun.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xdLC1sDCJfc/VvtGuBqygGI/AAAAAAAAEC4/D0ydM7dyhNAtcztvXmbacUNGiocQUNqrA/s1600/IMG_6266.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://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xdLC1sDCJfc/VvtGuBqygGI/AAAAAAAAEC4/D0ydM7dyhNAtcztvXmbacUNGiocQUNqrA/s640/IMG_6266.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\nStop over at Kakanon Bicol for breakfast.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WNAQ7mdIuO4/VvtGrbLRl9I/AAAAAAAAEC4/qRorqcMpJPEAR40iqzmiq12eCUUvB-Kow/s1600/IMG_6267.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Kakanon Bicol\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"640\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WNAQ7mdIuO4/VvtGrbLRl9I/AAAAAAAAEC4/qRorqcMpJPEAR40iqzmiq12eCUUvB-Kow/s640/IMG_6267.JPG\" title\u003d\"Kakanon Bicol\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_tFeMeS5vtI/VvtGzQaHTvI/AAAAAAAAEC8/CxHALULdpRsWyLwVMvMyfq7kav6DIO77A/s1600/IMG_6268.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"480\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_tFeMeS5vtI/VvtGzQaHTvI/AAAAAAAAEC8/CxHALULdpRsWyLwVMvMyfq7kav6DIO77A/s640/IMG_6268.JPG\" 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\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qw5kJRbewSE/VvtFx5Y_K3I/AAAAAAAAECY/Lr-FLJExJA0QBphSZhLd_DiVqgblVvvJw/s1600/2016_0324_152415_002.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://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qw5kJRbewSE/VvtFx5Y_K3I/AAAAAAAAECY/Lr-FLJExJA0QBphSZhLd_DiVqgblVvvJw/s640/2016_0324_152415_002.JPG\" title\u003d\"on the way to Sorsogon\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D-R8_NBvw7M/VvtFxY2a-xI/AAAAAAAAECY/lH2eA6Sj_K0UesX0tF1sRFt_1xb6_4XVg/s1600/2016_0324_153502_002.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"San Mateo Hot and Cold Spring\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"480\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D-R8_NBvw7M/VvtFxY2a-xI/AAAAAAAAECY/lH2eA6Sj_K0UesX0tF1sRFt_1xb6_4XVg/s640/2016_0324_153502_002.JPG\" title\u003d\"San Mateo Hot and Cold Spring\" 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\nSan Mateo Hot and Cold Spring Resort, situated at the the base of Bulusan volcano is the go to place of those who just climbed Bulusan volcano because of its relaxing springs and nature-ish backdrop.
