.. YaY!.. We're simply so blessed we made it to the Bicol Region by land :D .. onboard my baby, isuzu crosswind xuv (thanks dude, u made it with ur four big wheels hehe.. btw, it's also his first time for a loOong test drive after we bought him 3 years ago) and of course this wouldn't be possible without our hero driver.. and mind you, he's the sole driver who had driven all the way up and down of Luzon haha.. hanep talaga sa LoOoOng driving experience 'tong tito ko.. coz u know what, sya rin ang driver namin when we had our trip to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte about 3 years ago [here's the link -> http://hersheynicole.multiply.com/photos/album/16/A_Great_Pagudpud_Adventure] so kung kelangan nyo pala ng isang driver that needs to drive end to end of Luzon.. then he's the MAN.. juz contact me ahihi.. affordable lang ang talent fee nya =b (ako daw ang manager oh?!) ..

.. eniweiz, back to our adventure from metro manila to the Bicol region, here's some info i managed to jot down about our trip:

1. We're going to Manito, Legazpi City. The city of Legazpi is located on the eastern side of the province of Albay in Bicol region.
2. We left our house in Pasig at around 4:30 in the morning of 28th, December.
3. From Pasig to Manito, it took us 17 hours of travel wif seven (7) stop-overs (eating at carinderias juz beside the highway, calls of nature, nap a bit, buy something by chance, and of course picture-taking on our way, etc.)
4. From Manito back to Pasig, it took us 14 hours of travel wif four (4) stop-overs (same thing as item 3 :D)
5. Isuzu Crosswind consumed 2.5 diesel full tanks wherein a full tank costs 1,300 pesos (note: matipid sa diesel ang crosswind).
6. Isuzu Crosswind recorded around 600 km miles (i wish i'm not wrong on this.. one-way or round-trip?! :S hehe).
7. The folks there told us we were so lucky to be in Legazpi on that very day, coz sabi nila, it's normally raining the whole day, everyday, but on that day, the sun was so hot up there.
8. We're so blessed to have seen Mount Mayon, coz the folks also mentioned that the majestic volcano usually hides herself on very thick and huge clouds and many have failed to have a glimpse of its beauty.
9. We missed to go to the Cagsawa Ruins Park (where the ruins of Cagsawa Church is located) in Daraga, Legazpi, coz we only reached the place a couple of hours before midnight on our way to Manito ..
10. We reached home at dawn (1:00 am) of 30th, December.

.. Enjoyed talaga pramis hehe.. adventure ang a day of driving ahihi.. next time ulet =D ..
