Laoag, Vigan and Pagudpud Thread 11

[danda]

800 na ang northbound! Bilis magtaas.

sis lischan kasama talaga ang windmill sa north tour? Nasa Bangui iyon eh, nasa bandang south.
Tapos last Dec kami nagpunta dun, hindi na daw pwede ang Pagudpud trike dun.

Tawaran mo sis iyong 700. 500 lang kamo. Hehe!

[adventurousfeet]

grabe miss ko na din ang ilocos! i hope makabalik din sa future!

[lischan]

@sis a.k.a. HELGA, danda:

Nag try ako mag tawad sa both, hinde na daw pwede hehe 

Yung windmills sis, sinama na nila sa north tour, siguro dahil hinde na pwede yung Pagudpud na trikes pumunta ng Cape and Kupupu-something. May nabasa din ako kasi na ang south tour only includes windmills, cape and kapupu-something lang? So kaya siguro dinagdag nalang nila yung isa sa north hehe, ewan 

Tonight na alis, excited mode  Super thanks sa mga tulong nyo mga sis!

pag 9 ba kami mas ok na kumuha na kami ng guide kaysa may DIY? puro kasi balikbayan kasama ko so ayaw ko naman ma toxic! hehe

Hi mga sis which do you think is the better itinerary for our 5-day Ilocos trip in June (via plane)?

ITINERARY A - P5,500 (Laoag-Pagudpud tour) P800 - DIY Vigan kalesa tour
Day 1 – arrive in Laoag at 2pm, bus to Vigan, overnight in Vigan
Day 2 - Vigan tour, travel to Laoag by bus, overnight in Laoag
Day 3 – Laoag tour, overnight in Laoag
Day 4 – check out Laoag hotel, whole day Pagudpud tour, overnight in Pagudpud
Day 5 – checkout in Pagudpud, bus to Laoag

Or

ITINERARY B - P7,000 (Vigan-Laoag and Pagudpud tour)
Day 1 – arrive in Laoag at 2pm, bus to Vigan, overnight  in Vigan
Day 2 – Vigan-Laoag tour, overnight in Pagudpud
Day 3 – whole day chillax/beach bumming time in Pagudpud
Day 4 – Pagudpud tour, overnight in Laoag
Day 5 – check out Laoag hotel, Laoag airport

For me sis, i'd go for B. mas ok yan kasi masarap naman mag-chillax sa Pagudpud, then mas comfy pa ang transpo nyo.. Pwede kayo pumunta ng Blue Lagoon (masarap ang food sa Kapuluan Vista), Patapat, etc.

[purpleish]

sis Princess_Chill ...yes sis mag hire na lang kayo ng guide para less hassle...

[luscious_peach]

^ ^ Actually sis eto na ang final itinerary:

P6,000 via van:  Day 2 (Vigan-Laoag) and Day 3 (Pagudpud)
Day 1 – arrive in Laoag at 2pm, bus to Vigan, overnight in Vigan
Day 2 – Vigan-Laoag tour, overnight in Pagudpud
Day 3 – Pagudpud tour, overnight in Pagudpud
Day 4 – whole day beach bumming, overnight in Pagudpud
Day 5 – bus from Pagudpud to Laoag, plane back to Manila

Just decided to commute on our last day since 2pm pa naman ang flight namin. Para sulit na sulit ang time sa beach. hehe

[thebratinella]

^parang okay yung itinerary niyo, sis. Brother ko and his barkada stayed in Laoag on the 1st night,  beach bummed on the 2nd day, had the Pagudpud- Laoag tour on the 3rd day, toured Vigan on the 4th tapos overnight dun. 5th day umuwi na sila. I'm checking itineraries here. I'll go to Ilocos in June with my parents, husband and daughter.

[luscious_peach]

^ OK yata na last ang Vigan sis pag by land travel. Mas gusto ko kasi yung last days sa beach para communing with nature churva ang effect hehe saka beach persons kasi kami. June din kami sis! 3 lang kami ni hubby and our son.

[thebratinella]

^they had the laoag-vigan tour pala on the 4th day then the next day flight back to Manila. I'm excited about the food trip.

[marose17]

Any recommendation in Pagudpud?  I've checked out Saud, Hannah's, Kingfisher.  Mixed reviews eh.

[luscious_peach]

^ Sis if money is not an issue, try Casa Consuelo in Blue Lagoon. Good reviews. They have a facebook account.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ laso check out Kapuluan Vista in Blue Lagoon, really nice tsaka masarap food sa resto nila.
