sis cherdigan

yep, di kasama dun yung bus fare and hotel. kumbaga parang pangkain lang saka pangpasyal. anyway ang gusto ko lang naman puntahan is the calle crisologo and baluarte... the rest di ako gano interested. hehe

so kasya na ba yun or should we adjust our budget? thanks sis!

[IronLady]

thanks sis cherdigan sa matiyagang pagsagot sa madami kong tanong! hehe!
so mas malapit pa pala ang pagudpud kesa magbyahe ko to thunderbird.. pero mukang magandang idea din sis yung sa cabugao. akala ko kasi pag vigan yung mga old houses lang, wala ganun kalapit na beach.. try ko pamagsearch ulit.. sis, safe ba yung minention mo na buses? wala namang incidents ng accidents? first time ko magbus ng ganun kalayo ang byahe at gabi pa..

[cherdigan]

^sis meisaia, dagdagan mo na lang sis Yung 2k kasya naman as in strict budget pero pang emergency wala kung 3d2n kayo u might also want to go to pagudpud sis may mga homestays dun at tricycle tours or magpunta ng batac-paoay-laoag para sulit bakasyon

[cherdigan]

^sis ironlady: la union is 3hrs before vigan sis, kaya mauna mo itong madaanan. pagudpud naman is 3hrs after vigan. ang na-try ko na is partas, ok naman, yung deluxe na lang sakyan mo kasi 3 rows lang, bigger ang seats. may specific time ang byahe pag deluxe.

^^^sis hunny_ally: sis when is your travel date? kasi i heard there's bangus festival in dagupan next week in Vigan there's Binatbatan Festival, May1-6. may kalesa parade, etc. will share sched pag nakakuha ako. btw, may mg. one lane ngayon na daan especially sa i.norte.

[shegothim]

marami ring may fiesta sa ilocos norte at ilocos sur ngayong summer kaya expect ang mas mahabang time ng byahe.

[meisaia]

thanks sis cherdigan for the advice and tips. adjust na lang namin budget namin.

[cherdigan]

Hi mga sis!

Hope anyone can help... Bf and I are planning to travel to Vigan, Laog and Pagudpud. Day trip lang kme. Kaya ba ng 4 days lang? We have a car, is it okay to get a tour guide pa din? We're not familiar with the place.

Thanks. Would appreciate suggestions. 

---- hope i'm not too late, yes ok lang 4days roadtrip, kahit wala nang tourguide kasi most tourist sites naman malapit lang from main hi-way except perhaps for paoay, bangui windmills, kapurpurawan and some waterfalls. just bring a map sis and research ng konti. madami pwede pagtanungan. Mas sulit nga pag may car kasi madami kayo mapupuntahan at your own pace

Thanks sis cherdigan! what place do you recommend for overnight stay? better ba pagudpud muna then vigan and laog?

[bluez]

november ang schedule ko dito tagal pa hehe
rate na nakuha ko is php 3500/pax van transfer w/ hotel/tour 3 days 2 nights
grabe super haba pala byahe nito

[brattinella]

@cheskacutie imo, you start with the farthest which is pagudpud then laoag then vigan

  manila to vigan = around 10hrs
  vigan to laoag = around 2 hours
  laoag to pagudpud = around 2 hours

been here last april 13 to 17 grabe yung byahe namin almost 10-12 hrs kasama na yung stop over, nag rent kami ng bus same pag nag fifield trip since buong family kami. friday ng 8pm kami umalis ng manila then sat ng 10am kami nasa hannah's beach resort sa may pagudpud nag stay kami don for 2 nights. napaka ganda ng hannah's beach resort meron siyang 4 na swimming pool at ang pinaka gusto ko dito is yung infinity pool nila na overlooking, sobrang ganda!    blue na blue yung water na makikita mo at white sand pa (yung beach since overlooking nga siya), maganda din ang room nila at malinis pa yun lang dapat may dala kayong maraming water, kasi napaka mahal ng tubig dito.
 
marami din mga palutuan sa labas ng hannah's and super walking distance lang pati yung beach, maganda din sa hannah's kasi konti lang ang tao hindi siya over crowded nung time namin halos iilang lang kaming nag swiswimming sa pool nila, even sa beach hindi din madami yung tao. sa labas ng hannah's kami nag paluto ng food crab, lobsters, calamares, talakitok at fried chicken. sa Mekeni palutuan kami kumain.
 
after ng 2 days stay namin dito pumunta kami ng vigan, nag stay kami sa grandpa's inn for 1 night ok yung room kaya lang di ko lang nagustuhan yung CR nila, medyo maliit tsaka yung tubig from faucet nila amoy kalawang, di ko alam kung anong tawag don sa ganon water. pero maganda yung ambiance ng grandpa's. pumunta din kami sa baluarte ni singson, sa may pottery making, old style talaga ang houses don pero inayos naman nila pero ganon pa din ang style. nag check out kami sa grandpa's ng tue 10am nakauwi kami sa house ng 10pm. grabe sa pagod pero its worth it.! sobrang saya, ang sarap talaga sa beach. hopefully pag bumalik kami don kami na lang ni hubby para mas enjoy ehem! 

[beatrize zuri]

forgot to add, dumaan pa pala kami sa windmill sa laoag bago kami pumunta ng vigan.

[mharickar]

ok lang din naman siguro kung via commute kami? hindi ba mas nakakapagod yun? plan naming magpunta this july.. 

[sakura_bloom]

Went to vigan, laoag, and pagudpud earlier this year! Super fun! Looove the beaches in pagudpud! it beats bora IMO.

KAPURPURAWAN is the BEST! Super swerte na naka-akyat pa kami dun.. dahil ngayon bawal na to protect it.

[tsutsat]

^ hi sis. Swerte nyo na-akyat nyo. Kami sa likod na lang ng kapurpurawan. Then yung Cape Bodjeador Lighthouse, close na din.

[bebeloo]

^ bakit close na yung lighthouse? will be going there this coming weekend.. matuloy na 'to please!

[Pattybee]

Planning to go on a road trip to Vigan next month. Can anyone suggest a nice and decent hotel or bed and breakfast place? I've read reviews about Gordion, My Vigan Home and a few others. But I want to get first-hand info from those of you who have been there. Thanks in advance!
