Road Trip: Vigan, Ilocos Sur

A few days before I kept on bugging my papa to let me travel again.
He told me that he was planning to bring us to Thailand but then we don't have enough time since he'll be going back to Canada on the 29th of April.
So, we thought of a place here in the Philippines where we haven't been before.
He suggested Vigan and I agreed.

We spent more or less 5 hours in the road.
When we arrived in Vigan, we ate our baon for lunch in a bench.
(Tipid ba? haha.)
After eating our lunch, we hired a kalesa.

So, we toured Vigan.
We visited the place where the original Panday movie was shoot. It was the Panday wherein FPJ has the lead role.
And then we went to see how a pot was being formed.
My lola and Tita shopped for t-shirts, pots, and other souvenirs, too.
Our next destination was in the mini zoo of Chavit Singson.
For our last destination, we visited the very old houses.
We saw the house of Father Burgos and the house of the late President Elpidio Quirino.
After the tour, we visited the church and prayed, thanking God for everything and for the wonderful experience we had that day.
Then, we're back to Dagupan and we had our dinner at Matutina's.

This is the sign of the kalesa of Manong (I don't know his name pero he is mabait talaga.)

This is where a scene of the movie Panday was shoot.

This is how the Philippines look like noong panahon ng mga Kastila...

Now this is your modern Maria Clara minus the Maria Clara outfit and the hinhin factor. =P

The old days....

My lola and me.

After a very loooooooong journey, we had a scrumptious dinner at Matutina's.

Thanks, papa! It was a wonderful trip, really! We had fun.

Kalesa: Php 150 an hour.
Visit Vigan! You won't regret anything.
The tiring trip? It's worth it!
The people there are accomodating pa!
Have fun!
