"Tabaco, Albay" Tabaco by Boljakool

It's always nice to be ready to travel when the need comes. I got an assignment to visit some stores and had this chance to take photos from my phone-cam.

Tabaco City is one of the newest cities of Albay. Take a 2-hour drive south of Naga City and you'll find this breath-taking view of Mayon Volcano from the small town of Malilipot. Tabaco sits at the bottom of the volcano, there are fishing villages and small resorts around the the lake that serves as the drain canal of lava coming from Mayon or "Magayon" (beautiful lady).

Mt. Iriga.

Just a stone's throw away from the house that we visited, I saw this great view of Mt. Iriga before we travelled to Legazpi City.
