Camarines Sur (Filipino:Timog Kamarines) is a province of the Philippines located in the Bicol Region in Luzon. Its capital is Pili and the province borders Camarines Norte and Quezon to the north, and Albay to the south. To the east lies the island province of Catanduanes across Maqueda Channel.

Camarines Sur is the largest among the six provinces in the Bicol Region both in terms of population and land area. Its territory encompasses two cities: Naga City, the lone chartered city, is the province's and the region's most progressive city, while Iriga City, a component city, is the center of the Rinconada area. 

The Caramoan Peninsula has gained tourism popularity in recent years. After the place has been featured in the news and local television programs, local and foreign travelers started to explore the beaches of the peninsula. Popular tourist destinations are the Caramoan National Park, the Centro, and Gota Beach, and popular activities include diving, swimming, snorkeling and spelunking.

For my 2nd time Bicol Tour, it’s in the wonderful place of Camarines Sur. Together with my college berks, we take a plane trip to Naga Airport last March 10, 2011. Yes it’s the time when Japan has the horrible earthquakes and tsunami. We are in the plane while the calamity is happening in Japan. We are already in Naga Airport when we received text messages about what happen.

Good thing our first day will be in CWC. We still had fun at CWC even though we don’t know what will be our destination for the next day because all boat trips are barred because of the warn of tsunami.
