Sorsogon, Part Two

In Sorsogon City, I treated myself to a stay at a stylish boutique hotel, then moved to a cozy family-owned bed and breakfast.

Hopping on and off local jeeps, I visited the Sorsogon Provincial Museum, the park in front of City Hall, and the Sorsogon Sports Arena.

On a day trip to the island of Bagatao, off the coast of Magallanes, I visited the marker for a 16th-century astilyero, where galleons that sailed across the Pacific were built by local carpenters. Iā€™m honestly just thrilled to be along the galleon route.
