Elusive Mayon Volcano, Part 1

When we arrived at Daraga Airport, we knew that we could not get a view of Mayon Volcano. There was supposed to be an excellent view at Daraga Airport (Bicol International Airport) but the inclement weather meant clouds everywhere and covering the volcano. 

After having a late lunch, our friend drove us to one of the vantage points for the volcano. Somewhere in the middle of vast rice fields was an unfinished road project where we could have had a nice view of Mayon. Unfortunately, Mayon didn't show itself that afternoon.


A friend described this project as a road to nowhere. There is a roundabout with the image of Our Lady and nothing else. Mayon Volcano was supposed to be a backdrop for this photo if it were visible.

You can only see the base of the volcano in this photo. The inclement weather made sure the volcano is covered by clouds.

More on Mayon Volcano in the next posts!
