I found my Honey in Sorsogon - Day 4

Time travels faster when you are having fun :P

Can't believe, this is our last full day in Bicolandia.  With a day left to our Bicol holiday, we tried to squeeze in a day tour to Sorsogon.  Sorsogon is famous for its stunning sceneries and emerald blue beachlines.

Posing right next to a giant pili-nut at Sorsogon Baywalk :D 


Barcelona, Sorsogon

The town was named after Barcelona, Cartonia (Spain) after a Spanish official saw some similarities between the two.  

The Ruins


Across the Ruins is the century old Barcelona Church, which is one of the oldest in the Bicol province.  



Next stop is the Paguriran Beach

A rock islet with a natural pool formation.  During low tide, you can literally walk towards the island.


I was a bit disappointed that we were not able to dive and get ourselves wet, but promised to come back soon and spend at least 3 days in Sorsogon just to enjoy the beach and the crystal clear water.


Lunch was at Balay Buhay sa Uma Bee Farm



Bulay Buhay is an agri-tourism farm-site with lodging facilities.  This is the place to stay if you wish for peace and quiet.

  



A natural spring pool comes as a bonus.



Bulusan Volcano Natural Park was supposed to be our last stop in Sorsogon, however it was still only partially operational due to Covid restrictions. They were only allowing limited guests at a time to enter and wait time is about 1-2 hours.  Another disappointment, still another reason to come back to Sorsogon.

There are still so many to discover in Bicol, 4-5 days is not enough to fully experience it beauty.  

With the country opening its ports and loosening travel restrictions, plus the reopening of Bicol railways, we will definitely start frequenting the beautiful Bicolandia!
