Albay Photo Walk 1

Daraga

Was going to pay for the water bill, but after that I figured out that it might be a good chance to take some pics.

Okay, first behind me is the way to the Daraga Water District (where we apply for water connection). In that picture is the newly built commercial establishment, that’s where we are going to base our Starting point.

So let’s get it on! Iku!

Daraga

2. So here’s the stairs going up to the Water Station

Daraga

3. This is a long way up, it made me have cramps on my legs… It’s also too hot this day

Daraga

4. Half way trough the top…

Daraga

5. Another set of stairs. It feels like it never ends because of the heat, it takes more energy…

Daraga

6. What the… It’s Gwapo (meaning handsome, it’s some silly nickname we gave to him), also from the water station paying their bill.

Daraga

7. See the blue gate, that’s where the Water District is… Forgot to take pictures inside.. silly me..

Daraga

8. Almost at the top!

Daraga

9. At last! made it!

Was thinking where to go next, but I figured out it maybe a good idea to take pictures of the church

It’s 11 am-ish, it’s really hot at that time…

Daraga

10. Took a picture of the town below

Daraga

11. Here’s the old church… Haven’t been here for months or even a year if I remember… I’ve always thought they don’t close the front door…

Daraga

16. If you turn to your right side, you’ll see the Mt. Mayon

Daraga

17. They say Mt. Mayon is the equivalent of Mt. Fuji of Japan.

Daraga

18. We’re lucky to take a pic of her without completely being covered with clouds.

Daraga

20. Another shot of the church…

Daraga

21

Daraga

22. Even the sides are closed…

Daraga

23. That’s the Liñgon Hill, we live near that place… Hmm… I turned to the right and found a mysterious path way…

Daraga

24. The pathway lead to this place. The structure in the picture is a Cell-Site, This is where we get our signals for our Cellphones…

Daraga

25

Daraga

26 Hm? I thought it was a dead end… There’s still a pathway? Let’s find out…

Daraga

27. Turned to my left and found out about this…

Daraga

28. Been living in this town for years, I didn’t know there was such place…

Daraga

29. Followed the road… I wonder where this leads to…

Daraga

30. OMG! Where am I?

Daraga

31. Checking out….

Daraga

32. Oh cool, A Tiger Cub.. Oh, I mean a puppy…

Daraga

33. This… is getting interesting… Didn’t know there was such a place.

The path is so rocky, must watch step!

Daraga

34. A way down?

Daraga

35. What the? Some sort of a misplaced building?

Daraga

36. Above is where we come from

Just look at this… We can reflect here about the economy…

Daraga

37. Another long way down?

Daraga

38

Daraga

39

Daraga

40. Oh cool, a road, I wonder where we are?

After that step, I became familiar already of the place… I really didn’t think that the path leads here…

Daraga

41. There’s the building we saw earlier. I still don’t know where its entrance is…

Daraga

42. Going trough that street is where we went down…

Daraga

43. It’s the misplaced building!

Daraga

44. Okay! Get on with the photo walk! Going forward would lead us to the same point we started…

Daraga

45. This is the way up to the church…

Daraga

46. At last! The same building we got off!

Daraga

47. See the stairs. That’s where we climbed up. And on that street is where we walked going here. See the shadows? It’s dead noon! Hot!!!

Daraga

48. On the other side of the building is the main road.

Daraga

49. Crossed the street, It’s too hot on the other side…

Daraga

50. Oh, vendors. There’s a lot more of them at the main market place.

Daraga

51. See the trees? That’s were we took the picture of the other side of the building…

Daraga

52. Jollibee!

Daraga

53. Jeeps… They’re everywhere!

Daraga

54

Daraga

55. Jay Walkers!

See the road? Find something missing?

No lines!

Daraga

56. This town is really dirty… One of the reasons why I don’t like walking around here…

Daraga

57. The wet market

Daraga

58

Daraga

59. Somehow this reminds me of K-On!

I end my picture spree here.. I’m hungry and sweating all over at this point…

Just a little bit further is the new McDonalds, gonna eat there and rest. Ran Ran Roo!
