Part6: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day2 - Places to See in Laoag

Our second day in Ilocos is just about to start.  After our pasalubong stop over in Marsha's we're on our way to Laoag!

Part5: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day2 - Off to Laoag

Planning a trip with group was never easy.  As an addict traveller, I wanted to make sure that most of the tourist spots will be visited, since we only have a limited time.  Our second day will be a trip to Laoag City, the capital city of Ilocos Norte then an overnight stay at Pagudpud.

Corregidor Island: The AdvenTour Challenge

Corregidor Island also known as "The Rock" is a tadpole-shaped island that used to be a military headquarters of Philippine and American forces.  Although Corregidor is near Bataan Province, there's always a misconception that the island is part of it, when in fact it is within the province of Cavite City. It's a must-see place indeed especially to people who would love to go back to old times without going too far, and witness the ruins that once became our defense.

Part4: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day1 - Heritage Village at Night and Dinner at Cafe Leona

Heritage Village at night shouldn't be missed as well.  From Casa Teofila Lodge, we took a tricycle to Calle Crisologo again, to witness the beauty of night lights of Heritage Village. (Fare: Php40/tricycle)

Part3: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day1 - The Ultimate Vigan City Tour

We have the list of places to visit,  but somehow we were clueless on which to go next.  Asking one vendor from the calle crisologo, she suggested to continue walking to reach the Crisologo Museum.

Part2: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day1 - Breakfast at Cafe Uno and Exploring Calle Crisologo in Vigan City

Everybody's hungry so we took a tricycle to Cafe Uno. 

Part1: Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud Day1 - Sleeper Bus Experience and Arrival in Vigan City

After few weeks of planning day and night, seeing the beauty and heritage of Ilocos Region was a blast!

Our Itinerary and expenses during our trip to Calatagan, Batangas

Trip to Calatagan, Batangas Day2: Exploring Coral Shores Beach, Foodtrip at Kainan sa Dalampasigan and Empanada Royale

Day 2. Everyone slept late. I was fortunate to wake up around my normal body clock (7:30am) as  I really to wanted to explore the beach more to take some pictures. I go out and  noticed a far spot with lots of people so I decided to go that way.

 

Trip to Calatagan, Batangas Day1: Blue Waters Calatagan Beach House and Coral Shores Beach

Batangas has been one of the most accessible summer beach getaway from the busy streets of Manila. My friends from work were loving to get out and have fun swimming at a beach so in one week's time we were eagerly looking for a place to stay. Considering some of my officemates will be bringing their family with them, Batangas is one of the best options which is only three hours drive from Metro Manila.
