Our Great North Escapade

My forever soul sisters had our 3-day tour in Ilocos, and I must say that was way too awesome, not just because of the beautiful places we’ve been to while we are in Ilocos but rather it is the moments and the laughter we shared together.

Yung nakakapagod na byahe pero masaya, yung di mo na alam ang posisyon na gagawin mo para lang maging komportable sa byahe (lol), yung mga epic na shots sa sobrang lakas ng hangin, yung jump shots na hindi nyo maachieve- achieve, yung sakit ng katawan nyo dahil sa sand dunes, yung pagkakabagsak ng camera at cellphone nyo, yung paghabol nyo sa tsinelas dahil nadala ng sobrang lakas ng alon sa Pagudpud! Hahaha Really, one of the books!

In this great Ilocos Tour we visited Bantay Church and Bell Tower (St. Agustine Church) and Baluarte ni Chavit Singson. I was totally amazed sa Baluarte, you can find all kinds of animals even the endangered ones. And of course, we had a glimpse to the famous Chavit’s tiger. I just found out that Chavit is one hell of a licensed hunter, so once you got to the museum, you’ll gonna see all the preserved heads of the animals he killed.

We had our breakfast at Jerry’s Restaurant wherein we first tasted their specialty, bagnet.

We also pay a visit to Marcos Museum and Marcos Mauseleum and Malacanang Ti Amianan. Going to Paoay Church is also part of the itinerary.

One of the activities we had is Sand Dunes, it is just optional: 500 per person for the activity fee, and since andito na din naman kami and we’re here for adventure and fun, we grabbed the chance. Sand dunes pa more!! It was a thrilling experience! We screamed, we laughed! Kahit masakit ang katawan namin after, okay lang.

On our second day, we went to Pagudpud, na sobrang lakas ng hangin, sobrang lakas ng alon. We never know na malalas at malaki ang alon sa Pagudpud that time, so mega tampisaw kami, and then bang! Big waves are coming!!! Sa pagtakbo ko, naiwan yung tsinelas ko, and I was like ‘kukunin ko pa ba, sobrang lakas ng alon, mababasa ako’, but I have to get my freakin’ slippers!!! So Tinay and I struggled the big waves for the sake of my precious slipper. Ayun basa! Aliw lang. Haha And yes, I got my slipper back. Lol We also went to Cape Bojedor, Kapurpurawan Rock Formation, eto sobrang epic ang pagpunta namin dito, sa Kapurpurawan meron ding mga windmills, so sa sobrang excitement namin sa windmills hindi namin napagtuunan ng pansin ang rock formation. Hahaha And then the Bangui Windmill. Gusto sana naming maachieve ang jump shot dito, pero wala eh, epic fail ang mga jump shots! 😂😂 Before we go back to hotel, the last place we visited on our second day is Bantay Abot Cave. Sobrang ganda ng view. Perfect! Perfect! 👌👌

On our last day, Vigan it is! So oras na para bumili ng pasalubong after roaming around. And we also take our chance for the Kalesa ride. Hihi
