Hi mga sis!

Last December 2010, we had our Ilocos Tour for I think 3500 php per person. 12 pax kami tapos van siya. Okay yung tour guide namin and napuntahan talaga namin halos lahat. Okay pa yung natirahan namin sa may Pagudpud. Malapit lang siya sa Saud Beach. Medyo wrong timing nga lang punta namin then kasi December and medyo maulan at malamig. Lakas pa ng alon din. But Saud Beach was beautiful talaga. Yung Bangui windmill din super ganda!

Punta kayo sa Ilocos this summer, it's a nice place to go!

[Princess_Chill]

sis eilegna

thanks for the suggestions! baka nga we'll cut the trip shorter kasi baka di ko kaya makapag leave ng 6 days hehe! will update you pag naayos na itenerary namin...

sis suggest ka naman ng itenerary namin ng day 1 -5 mag loag kami by plane..  thanks! or kaya ba ng 4 days lang?

[April30]

We have a tour in vigan-laoag-pagudpud this comming Holy Week... Sana sulit yung bayad namin.

[Dukesa]

hello sisses.. question for the ilocos experts here hehe ang dami kasing itinerary available i'm so confused.

hubby and i are planning to go this feb for 3d2n via bus from manila. gusto ko sana 1night in pagudpud and 1 night in vigan. saka ang gusto ko lang talaga makita e yung blue lagoon, windmills, calle crisologo then church and museums in laoag. the other tourist spots, not really. ayoko kasi ng sobrang daming activities pilit pinagkakasya in a day tas haggard naman hehe. can you help me with an itinerary please? and for affordable accomodations sana.

 also, ok na ba ang 10-15k budget for the two of us? thanks!

where to eat bagnet?

[lischan]

Hi mga sis,

Super back read na ako and I'm still going crazy on how to plan the Ilocos trip. Parang hinde kasi doable yung plan ko na ITI. Will arrive Laoag by plane on Saturday, 130pm. Tapos, will leave Laoag, by plane din, on Tuesday 1145am.

I want to visit Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud.

Day 1 (Sat):
130pm - arrive Laoag
2-3pm - to Pagudpud, while doing the southbound tour
evening - arrive Pagudpud
check-in at Saud
overnight Saud

Day 2 (Sun):
8am - northbound tour
lunch
1pm - leave for Vigan
3-4pm - arrive Vigan
Check-in at hotel
Vigan tour via kalesa (is this doable kahit na mga 4 na ang dating/start? want to see all, except the zoo)
Go around Calle Crisologo by foot
overnight Vigan

Day 3 (Mon):
10 am - leave Vigan for Laoag
12noon - 1pm - arrive Laoag
Laoag tour after lunch
overnight Laoag

Day 4 (Tue):
1135am flight to Manila

I'm mostly worried about the Vigan tour. I'm unsure if we are able to do it on Sunday kasi. If we can't on Sunday, then we would need to do it on Monday, which will move our schedule for leaving Vigan at a later time, which in turn, may affect the Laoag tour?

Any suggestions? I'm unsure yet where in the trip ako mag contact kay Kuya Lezner/Kuya Arnel..

[eilegna]

where to eat bagnet?

Sis, bagnet is available at Dap-ayan, Laoag Ilocos Norte.
Malapit na yun sa Museum don..
I believe almost all resto's in Ilocos Norte are offering bagnet..
Not pretty sure..

--kung pampasalubong, you may buy it in the market..
We usually buy it at Batac Public Market.. 360 / kg.
Meron din sa laoag..

[purpleish]

sis lischan ...

Day #1: medyo gahol kayo sa time na ito sis, better mag hire na kayo ng van kay mang arnel/kuya lezner from the airport para madali ang byahe kaysa mag commute... kung 1:30pm ang dating niyo siguro makalabas kayo ng mga 2pm, tapos byahe pa ng 1 1/2hr going Pagudpud.. kasi kung mag bus kayo syempre pupunuin pa nila yun baka alanganin na sa tour niyo..

Day #2: hindi ko lang sure kung makita niyo lahat kung mag start kayo ng 4pm, kasi may oras lang ata ang mga museums, siguro mga pili na lang yung places na makikita niyo sa Vigan...

[lischan]

Thanks sis purpleish 

Would you know how frequent yung buses to/from Vigan/Pagudpud?

It looks like hinde talaga doable si ITI ko  I may need to skip one of the places, and I think si Laoag yun, if no time na talaga  Si Vigan naman kasi, curious talaga ako sa evening, kasi ang ganda daw. Or, baka pwede na hinde mag overnight kay Vigan. Is there an evening trip (and is it safe naman?) from Vigan to Pagudpud? Let's say, mga 7 or 8 alis ng Vigan?

I don't think kasi kaya mag van, 2 lang kami, baka sobrang mahal na. And actually, ako, naka bus papunta dun (Friday overnight bus). Yung kasama ko mag plane. Inisip ko, baka I can roam around Vigan until evening, tapos siya, diretso na sa Pagudpud. Yikes, mamatay ata ako nito sa pagod. Siguro, mag check-in nalang for a few hours sa hotel para mag pahinga.. Ay ewan.. naguguluhan ako sa trip na 'to hehe
