Bicol express & San Juanico Bridge
Next stop was at the pier station of Matnog in Sorsogon going to Catarman, Samar. There we had to take a ferry to cross to Samar island. From Catarman, we drove all the way to Leyte, via the famous San Juanico Bridge, our very own version of the Golden Gate in San Francisco.
The sad part was we were not allowed to stop in the middle of the bridge to take pictures, so I just tried to get them from the moving vehicle. Kung wala lang sanang military post stationed at both ends of the bridge, we would have stopped, hehehe. I was afraid we would be caught and like that Norwegian guy who was taking pictures in Makati, hubby would probably get deported... LOL!
harharhar! k lang, nakita naman namin, may clouds na naka palibot but the peak is still showing na parang nipples ng dalaga,... kung susundin ang lore, ibig sabihin virgin pa ako, ngekk!!! ang hirap talagang intindihin ng "sabi-sabi".
do they have any local lore that says something about the visitors of the town, that while enjoying the view f the mayon and wondering about its beauty and perfection, eh, naligaw sa bayan na iyon? - - -o pure katangahan lang iyun?! LOL!
have a nice day!
dati akong nag work extensively in eastern visayas (tacloban, leyte, and the surrounding barangays and samar, too) and bicol. yan pa ang na feature dito. just to let you know, local lore in albay says that if you can't see the tip of the mayon, hindi ka na daw virgin. hahahaha :)
