My Mother in Law lives in Bicol...lovely place, where the whale sharks hang out.

In the cold light of day we couldn't honestly live there...2.5 hrs to nearest basic hospital...same for international schooling.

All the places listed have them in abundance.

Gwaps.. Bicol is a huge province with thousands of isolated towns... I lived in one once about 30 odd years ago and you are correct.. Miles from anything.
Not been there for a very long time but I hear that Naga city is quite impressive these days. Lots of expats live there these days.
Also the home of one of my favourite Filipino dishes.. Bicol express!

Sorry Fred...I should of said Vanisitahan, or sounds something like it...right on the beach.

Yes, Naga big but the airport town is closer, so says dear wife.

Its 2.5 hrs by road and that's if it hasn't been washed away as has happened in the past.

Im a new daddy again Fred...perhaps im being over protective.

I 'll be there in a couple of days ....

Just had a reminder....Bicol express still does indeed, bring tears to my eyes
