Our unlucky Day to CAGSAWA RUINS

In Daraga, Albay is the famous Cagsawa Ruins, probably the most photographed location in Albay. On February 1, 1814, Mayon Volcano erupted and buried the town of Cagsawa in lava flows. About 1,200 people perished and many of them sought refuge in the town’s church, thinking they would be saved. Now all that remains is the church’s bell tower, the area around which is now developed into a popular tourist spot.

But we are unlucky to view the Bulkan Mayon because it is cover with thick clouds when we are taking this picture..

Sigh....
