From Sipocot, we noticed a signage on the right side that leads to Kulapnitan Caves. Traffic here already became a bit heavier - tricycles and jeeps were everywhere. Buses as well. We passed through the towns of Pamplona, San Fernando, and Milaor, before reaching Naga City. Finally.
We stopped to refuel here - only our second stop since we left Alabang. The first stop was somewhere along Andaya Highway to empty our over-stretched bladders.
It was already 930 am. And my odometer had exceeded the 10,000 km already.
The streets were lined with tons and tons of election paraphernalia. Tarpaulins left and right. What a messy sight.
We noticed two banners that read weird.
One says VOTE MALAKI. While the other says VOTE MASARAP. How could partylists come up with such names?
But then we came to realize that both were actually advertisements - of a well-known 50's style diner scattered all around the Bicol Area - BIGG'S.
From Naga City - next was the provincial capital Pili. Known foremost for the site of the Cam Sur Watersports Complex (CWC). Along the way, Mount Isarog provided us confusion as we thought it was already Mount Mayon.
Then came the towns of Baao, Nabua (which leads to Nora-land Iriga City), and Bato. From Baao - we already got a view of Mount Iriga.
In Bato, they sell a delicacy Pancit Bato, which was said to be best eaten with dinuguan. We never got to taste it but we bought several packs of uncooked Pancit Bato for home. A Pack is made of 5 smaller packs - all of it for P140. Each small pack is said to be enough to feed 10 people.
After the town of Bato - we were now in the province of Albay.
Odometer check : 10,130km (total of 443km driven)
