Mt. Mayon:  The Elusive Superstar

Legazpi City, Philippines is on a plain.  From almost anywhere in Legazpi, you will see Mt. Mayon on a clear day.  It is a green mass rising from the ground to meet the sky.  Not being part of any chain of mountains, Mt. Mayon is solitary.  Mt. Mayon’s cone shape is almost perfect and it is undoubtably an active volcano.  Smoke plumes are seen coming out of its mouth. (more…)

The Zip

Mr. Ketel took us to Lingnon Hill from where you can view Mt. Mayon and Legazpi City.  As Mt. Mayon was elusive that day, Mr. Ketel suggested we try the Zip. What is the Zip?  The ends of two parallel steel cables are attached on a post on one hill while the other ends are attach on a post in another hill.  You are then asked to wear a harness.  Carabiners are clipped on to the harness and on the rollers that are attached to the cables.  After giving a thirty-second explanation on what to do,  your are pushed off to zip over the trees.  Weeeee… is what I said in my mind when I did the Zip.  Such fun!!!
