Mayon Rest House. A place of quiet amidst a dangerous volcano.


So you think you've had enough of the majestic Mount Mayon after your stint at the Cagsawa Ruins?
Well Think again...
While in Bicol never let the trip to Mayon Resthouse be out of your itinerary. Make it a must. Why?
There could be dozens of reasons why I say this, but one thing is sure, a trip to Mayon Resthouse is indeed an experience worth your time.
Its free. And  I'm not selling an old piece of garbage. But Mayon Rest House proves the old saying, the best things in life are free. But of course you dont wanna miss the experience of scrutinizing what's in Mayon Planetarium, so paying  Php 10 entrance fee would be fair enough eh??

The Once Busy Hotel remains standing but its operation had been stopped long ago due to the hazards imposed by Mount Mayon eruptions. Its  story may had ceased for a while but the grandeur that was Mayon resthouse will soon become a fascinating story for the younger .generation. I may not be lucky enough to be one of its guests but I could say that I was lucky enough to be once amazed by the beauty of this white structure seen afar from Sabloyon Highway.
 
There used to be a Huge  Holy Cross erected at a higher elevation  but it has been  destroyed by typhoon. This part of Mayon Rest House which is a popular venue during lenten season's way of the cross, is still under renovation.

Some structures may have changed but the feeling while in the premises of Mayon Resthouse was still the same. The feeling of tranquility, peace and quiet, amidst a restless volcano that has sustained the lives of a number of people that live in its abundance, yet took the lives of some who had been wary of natures early warnings. The feeling of being engulfed in place sorrounded by beauty and danger. The feeling taught by Mayon Rest House. Resembling the Beauty of a  Rose. Beautiful, yet extremely dangerous.
