Based on reviews Ilocos are very rich in heritage. Very much true!! We passed by lots of historical places,, old houses and churches.
We had our first stop at Baluarte (Chavit's farm) and saw his collection from feral to wild animals. We can see his house all covered of gold paint and glass from the farm.
What amazes me is the bonsai tree on the top of his house. It's surreal and it's like your living in a fantasy land.
2nd stop was at Vigan(Kalye Crisostomo) and we enjoyed exploring the place. We also went to Ferdinand Marco's mausoleum. According to them his body was covered with wax already.
We also had the chance to visit the old church in Paoay. It was perfectly build. Seeing old places like that makes me proud I'm a Pinay ;) Truly Ilocos maintained and preserved historical places. We headed to Pagudpod for some relaxation. On our way we passed by the romantic windmills in Bangui and the Bojeador Lighthouse. Fell inlove with the windmills which as if their dancing to the chant of the air.
Finally after almost 13 hours of drive from Nueva Ecija to Ilocos Norte were at our final destination... Pagudpod!!!- it made Madel scream to death when she finally had a peek at the Welcome note----> Welcome to Pagudpod.
No wonder why many tourist still visits the place despite of its location, The beaches are beautiful with its white sand.
We stayed at Hannah's, a corporate owned resort and decided to stay overnight. Early the next day we packed up and drop by at Fort Ilocandia and Thunder Bird. We didn't explore much at Fort Ilocondia and headed home.
It was a long drive,, so tiring but all worth it! Good thing we decided not to bring Martina to the tour, she will not enjoy it coz much of the time was at the road,, driving...
Our vacay will never be complete without having a taste of Bagnet ,rice cake of the The Sisters and the chichacorn!!!
