Apo Idon Beach Hotel Pagudpud

... though. I woke up with a cockroach in my bed and after flicking it onto the floor an invasion ...

... mon beau corps et whaouchhhhh les mollets le bougre. En fin de parcours, pressions longues et appuyees sur ma tete, histoire de remettre le cerveau en route, du coup j irai puiser dans mon stock d Ibuprofene. Diner a la belle sur la place aux caleches, au calme. Je tape dans l oeil, bien involontairement d un des serveurs qui passe son temps a se dandiner devant moi. Ca distrait. Il m apporte amoureusement la note et me ...

... ranta oli usein tyhja. Tata rantaa kutsutaan norsunluu rannaksi ja syysta: hiekka on todella valkoista. Muutenkin tata perusrantasettia; palmuja, aurinkoa ja aaltoja. Kylla elama on rankkaa. Yksi paiva vietettiin kerrassaan taydellisella Blue Laguun rannalla jolle mentiin kolmipyoraisella. Rannalla ei ollut ketaan muita, ja ainoat aanet olivat linnunlaulua. Puoliympyran muotoisella lahdella vesi oli tyyni ja rapuja ja kaloja nakyi paljon.

... surfers since the waves are great and the boys enjoyed it very well. But for less expert swimmers like me and the rest of the girls, we had fun swimming in a calm unknown beach near Laoag. The food was likewise great. We can't get enough of the popular Vigan empanada and bagnit. We really bonded there. Everytime I remember Ilocos, I can't help but smile and remember what fun I had there with my blockmates and friends.

... Marcos Mausoleum und Museum (kein Foto inside). Alles sehr merkwuerdig, schliesslich war Marcos der vermutlich dreiseste Dieb aller Zeiten (hat ueber 5 Milliarden geklaut, damit schlaegt er jeden afrikanischen Diktator). Next stop war dann Paoay, ein kleines Dorf, dessen Kirche von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe ernannt wurde. Nicht, weil sie 500 Jahre alt ist (jede Dorfkirche hier ist 500 Jahre alt:-) zB auch ...

Where to begin! We have been on the move since we arrived over two weeks ago, soaking in the culture as well as Dan's never ending Family! Sounds familar..hehe..For once someone has a never ending family like myself! It is such a gift to meet all these beautiful people, they have been nothing but generous and very hospitable. They have welcomed us with open arms and many kisses! In the phillippines they show a great deal of respect to age, so when you address ...

Le lendemain matin nous nous voila sur le bord de la route, attirant l'attention des bus locaux, direction Pagudpud. La route est belle, et nous restons bouches bées en arrivant. C'est beau, c'est carrément splendide. Nous passerons 5 jours en compagnie de Sharleen, une charmante Lady boy, en charge de l'hotel ou nous logeons. Petit detail troublant, pas de touriste, juste un ou deux qui semblent vivre ici. On ne se demande pas pourquoi.

... the sun was hiding beneath the thick white clouds over the sea. Nevetheless, the sea was so blue and the sand so white. The waves was bigger and stronger than the ordinary so we didnt get the chance to soak ourselves in the waters. So we content ourselves to taking pictures. And just before noon we left the resort to begin our sojourn down to Ilocos Sur. Next stop is Batac.

... Bay facing the South China Sea, the town became a destination to tourists and phtotographers alike. The Northwind Bangui Bay Project is a 25-megawatt wind power generation plant, the first wind power plant in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia! The facility provides 40% of the power requirement for Ilocos Norte.

... Two more hours from Laoag! I swear the roads were endless. We finally reached Vigan, Ilocos Sur at around 6:30am. We made a quick round of the city and had our breakfast stopover there at the Vigan Plaza Hotel near the Burgos Plaza . Then we set off again towards the direction of Ilocos Norte. Two hours later we reached Laoag City. As it was already midmorning, our excitement to get to our ...
