Arriving in Legazpi as my first stop in the Philippines was a bit of a culture shock. Of course I knew what I had signed up for, but still. It turned out to be a great experience though, to get a feeling for how the Philippines are outside from all the touristic places. I ended up exploring two cities in Bicol, Legazpi and Sorsogon. Here some more impressions from my six days in this area. Yours, Pollybert
