DIY: Laoag, Ilocos Norte

Our Lampitao (from Calayan, Cagayan) docked at Claveria, Cagayan




From here, we went to the national highway to catch a bus ride to Laoag, Ilocos Norte. Fare is roughly around Php200.


Travel time is around 2 hours and we passed by Pagudpud. I was so awesome-struck with the wind mills that I almost forgot to take a picture. Haha




We arrived a little late after lunch and the bus terminal is just a block away from Museo Ilocos Norte and from the provincial capitol.





Of course, we ate bagnet and the infamous Ilocos Empanada in dap - ayan, the food stalls complex infront of the capitol.







After getting high blood pressure with the  bagnet and everything, we checked in at our hotel for an overnight stay.



We rested a bit before going out to explore the old churches within the area.







We went back to the plaza and took pictures before heading back to the hotel.





We also went to the public market to buy ilocos longganisa. :)

A quick dinner and we called it a night.

I was supposed to go alone to Paoay Church the next day because my friend already went back to Manila but laziness took over and just packed my things and went straight to the airport for my flight back to Manila.



I shall return to Ilocos for their 4x4 and sand dunes, and have a side trip in Vigan as well.



TTFN.
