After 2 years, kada is able to go on trip again together. We went sightseeing in Albay and firefly watching and planned for Butanding Encounter in Donsol, Sorsogon.
We left Manila last May 11 for a 12 hour bus trip to Albay. Had breakfast at Bigg’s and visited Daraga church and Cagsawa with a magnificent view of the Mayon Volcano. We were later treated to a hearty lunch at Kim’s Bowl before we head to another 1 hour trip to Donsol.
We checked in at Shoreline Resort had time to freshen up and again we had another fun activity at night – Firefly watching. I didn’t really expect much from this. You know that fireflies would lit up at night but after during our river cruise and watching hundreds of fireflies jumping and lighting up a tree, the sight was a treat. Sabi nga ni Kuya Nick, parang Christmas tree.
We had dinner back at the resort and it was time to rest for the day.
The following day, we headed to a tourism office nearby where Butanding encounter orientation was conducted first. We were assigned to our boats and our own BIO (Butanding Interaction Officer). It wasn’t our day because we didn’t see any Butanding but the boat tour and time spent with friends was enjoyable enough.
A treat of unique halo-halo awed us. It was our first time to be server halo-halo kumpletos recados and more – the usual ingredients + grated cheese, condensed milk and corn. Yum!
After our sumptous lunch, it was time to hit the road. Back in Albay, we visited pili shop before boarding our bus back to Manila.
Til our kada’s next trip. Kelan kaya un? 
Nice!!!
