Ilocos Trip Day 2 part 1

Okay so it took me a while before I share what happened to us in Day 2.

Before I proceed to Day 2, I just would like to share the view from Agua Seda towards the evening. I was able to get up by 5-6pm then dozed off again til the next day.

The sun is setting in the west as the east slowly gets dark

and then, the moon rose gracefully from the east.

Sunrise in Pagudpud

After a good rest at Agua Seda, we had breakfast at Mekeni's Palutuan. I was expecting Palutuans to offer seafood. But since the palutuan says "Mekeni's", it is not surprising to see tocino and longganisa on the menu.

Kuya Angel of Trike 003 Pagudpud fetched us from Agua Seda at exactly 0730H (7.30am). We stayed sometime at the Pagudpud town hall. We started for the windmills and the rest of the tour until 4.30pm. Here are what happened to us in that fab trike tour.

We started the morning with a South trike tour. Our first stop: Bangui Windmills

These graceful windmills move like ballerinas playing with the wind. I can't stop being poetic on this post. They are just so graceful, and beautiful. They stand on the beach to overlooking the West Philippine Sea. We imagined a red Ducati touring this place with the Kamen Rider black theme song in the background. That must be so wicked.

Next we went to the Bangui windmill viewing deck which offers panoramic view of the Bangui country side and the windmill. Awesome view up there.

We next proceeded to the Kapurpurawan rock formation. To get there we passed by a rough road with estimated travel time of 5-8minutes via trike. It was quite an experience that reminds me of the rough roads of home (Infanta, Quezon). After the trike ride, we had to descend towards the Kapurpurawan rock formation. There are lots of sharp rocks on the shore on the wayy to the big white rock so it is advisable to wear tough slippers. Mine's a bit worn out so there I took great care walking on those rocks - i even tried tiptoeing.

At the white rock, I can't help but say "Where are the Jedi?" It reminds me of the desert home of Anakin Skywalker. We had a great time taking photos.

After Kapurpurawan, we took off towards Cape Bojeador light house. Visitors are allowed only up to the tower entrance but not at the Light house tower.

After visiting the tower, we went to the "shell". The landmark that welcomes visitors to Pagudpud.

We were hungry by then and it is around 12 noon already so we decided to have lunch first before going for the next part of the tour which is the North trike tour.
