Ilocos: To The North And Back

Holy cow! Who would want to travel at 12 midnight? Unless it's on a first class airplane or a limo, I will. But traveling with my friends at this time was, well, to no avail.

Traveling to Ilocos dreading the 12-hour ride was worth it.




Our first stop: Vigan. At long last, we've gotten the chance to freshen up after the 12-hour ride. But who would need the much needed sleep than our driver? He's awake all those times, obviously.



Checking out the streets of Vigan on a beautiful Thursday morning was a breeze after a hearty breakfast at Chowking, Ilocano style.



 The Bangui windmills. We're amazed by the 20-ish windmills along the shore. 




Within a couple of minutes left, we spend it at Baluarte, the zoo.


The Church of Paoay, one of the oldest in Ilocos. We enjoyed our photo ops here.

Caramoan: Islands And Islands

Why is it that every time we plan to travel or go someplace else, every little detail keep on changing every second? Good thing there is such a thing called "itinerary."

Going to Caramoan is an out-of-the-blue adventure. The cause: no available promo airfare tickets. That's why we opted to travel by bus and where to? CamSur. Where exactly? Caramoan, where else? And it paid off 101 percent!

Bohol: Away from It All

It took us a long time to plan the travel to Bohol. Every once in a while, we kept exchanging ideas and changing itineraries that I thought we would never be able to go. It's September and it's raining... hard. But then the trip was worth it.
it's one of those days when you won't think about work and just relax and appreciate Mother Nature.
