Revisiting Ilocos Day One

This is not my first time in Ilocos, and since I fell in love with the place when I first went here, I can’t help but fall in love again.  This time, I am the organizer of a group of 11 travel enthusiasts. 😎

Touchdown: LAO 1:15pm

Our flight arrived Ilocos 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. We rented a MB 100 van, good enough to accommodate 10 adults and one kid, and served as our transfer vehicle from one spot to another and from one destination to the next.

Our first stop was Cape Bojeador, also known as the light house. We stayed for 20 minutes doing picture taking of different views of the South China Sea and the lighthouse itself.

Second stop was Kapurpurawan (White Rock Formation). From our trip last February, several changes took place. There was no smooth trail way back February. We passed by the slippery stones to reach the famous white rock spot and took us about 20 minutes to walk to the spot. This time, the trail was longer but has a safer trail and has now a viewpoint. Horses can also be rented for only 50 pesos.

Third stop was Bangui Windmills. It was another trip to the windmills and we tried a different route this time. New photos were taken reliving the windmills in a different perspective.

Last stop for Day One was Kapuluan Vista Resort, where we stayed overnight. We arrived there at 6 pm. After a cold sip of our welcome drinks, we settled down for some minutes until dinner was served. We had tinolang native manok, Kapuluan kilawen and sizzling seafood sisig.

After dinner, we spent some few minutes near the beach, enjoyed the ocean breeze while others taking their afterdinner puffs. We also had some few hours in the pool for some hours of relaxation.

Since the resort is about one hour away from the town proper, we can't do anything wild so we just kissed the quietness of the night with Kapuluan’s mix of frozen margarita until lights off. 

Lights off: 10pm MNL 

Until our next trip. 😎
