After office hours on a friday night, we go to Cubao Terminal with my husband & our 2 kids ( 4yrs old & 1 yr old). There are no available bus since it's a long weekend so we opted to choose Amihan Executive Bus with CR, fare cost Php950 each and our kids are free of charge. Travel time is 12hours. Tip: Book your ticket 1week before you travel.
DAY 1:
10:00 AM - We arrive at Legaspi City, Albay. Since we don't have any reservation in the hotel, we ride a tricycle to find one. We inquire at least 4 apartelles but it's too pricey. Luckily, on our 5th inquire, may nakuha na din.
10:30 AM - We check-in at Tanchuling Hotel. We choose this hotel since this is the only available and it's cheaper. Standard room is only Php850. The room is big and it's enough for us.
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM - We ride a jeepney loop1 heading to Albay Park & Wildlife fare is P9 only. Entrance for Park is P20 adult & P10 kids. The park is clean, there are dinosaurs that move and have sounds (though replica but if your a kid, you'll be amazed). There are also wild animals like tiger, wild pig, crocodile, birds, etc. My son ride a bicycle for P35/hour.
After park, we just walk going to Lignon Hill. It is just near at the park. Since i babywear my 1 year old daughter, i double my energy. Hehe! At the entrance of Lignon Hill, the guard offer us a ATV experience for only 1,500 for the 4 of us. So we glab it. He accompany us to the office & have short briefing/guidelines for the ride. And whoah!! The most awaited moment!
After ATV, we ride a 4x4 pick-up to go at the peak of Lignon Hill. The view is fantastic and breath taking! So after an hour of site seeing, we call it a day.
DAY 2:
Ride a jeepney loop2 going to Daraga Church, fare is P8. After visiting the old church, we plan to ride a jeepney going to Cagsawa but we don't have enough time to wait so we opted to ride a tricycle P50 for the 4 of us.
Cagsawa Ruins entrance fee is P10 for adult & kids. While we are busy taking pictures, Christian (tour guide) offer us his services, and it's a good deal actually. For P800, we can go to the 3 destination. We ride 2 motorcycles.
Sumlang Lake - Entrance fee is P10. Balsa is P25/adult & kids are free.
Hoyop-hoyopan Cave - Entrance with tour guide is P300.
Quitinday Greenhills - Entrance is P25 for adult.
Embarcadero de Legaspi
DAY 3:
We ride a tricycle going to Legazpi Boulevard, fare is P40. Since it's still 7:00 AM, there are people who do exercise & jogging. In here, you can see the Sleeping Lion (an island that looks like a lion on his belly).
After sight seeing, again we ride a tricycle going to Jollibee for breakfast. After we eat, we decided to go to Kawa-kawa Hill (a hill without a top!). We ride a jeepney going to Ligao, fare is P80. When we get off, we ride again a tricycle fare is P8 going to Kawa-kawa Hill.
Ito na, start na ng calvario. It's so tiring especially that I carry my 20months old daughter. But when you see the view at the top, it's all worth it.
After stisfying our eyes for the magistic view, we decided to go home & have our lunch. We ride a aircon bus going to Legazpi, fare is P80. We check-out in the hotel at 1:00 PM and have lunch at Gaisano Pacific.
We ride DLTB bus going to Manila at 3:00 PM. Fare is 810.
