3rd Year! Day 4 - Around Laoag in 2 hours

Woke up earlier so we can still do some sight seeing, as our flight is by 1pm pa naman.

We talked to a local trike driver to tour us to the sand dunes, museum, bell tower & st. william cathedral. we paid him i think 250 pesos. as it only took us less than two hours.

La Paz Sand dunes.
Setting of Panday, Mad Max, & Born in the 4th of July.

It was grassy since it's rainy season.
It may be better to visit it on summer, pero grabe daw ang init so I think our timing was just ok.









Then went straight to Museum of Ilocos Norte






Some of the things a typical Ilocano farmer or fisherman uses

















We entered a replica of an old house in Ilocos





Dinner area, ilocano style

Lookit that old radio!




The old school bed

















Some pics inside the church:





The sinking bell tower.
This one is just walking distance from the church.


Another angle, without the power lines

The Abolition of Tobacco Monopoly monument



A view of the Municipal Hall from the Plaza

A Marcos Hall of Justice (really!)

Had lunch at the famous Saramsam Cafe



Basil flavored iced tea

A taste of the Pokepoke (yah you read that right!)


And the Pinakbet Pizza (it takes a little of getting used to, in my opinion)
Was able to bring some home of it.


Mang Cely even fetched us from our hotel to bring us back to the airport.

At the Laoag Airport Departure Area


Here's our plane! Bye Laoag!
Hope to be back here with my family! =)
