The Heritage City of Choice | Vigan City, One of New 7 Wonders Cities of the World

A trip going to Ilocos Sur was my quick vacation before I embrace the work to be a full-time teacher.

It was a two-day trip that starts on a Friday night.  The travel took us more than 6 hours to reach the vicinity of Ilocos Sur.  A butt-numbing road trip, indeed!

We alighted to our first stop – Marcos Bridge.

We wrapped the day by having a grand dinner and soaking ourselves to the bath tub available at the house.  The next day, we all woke up late and had the most delicious breakfast.  Sir Pat’s mom is surely a chef of their house!

Expenses:

We had contributed P1000.00 each person.  It includes our transportation, our meal at the house, the tour and accommodation.  Great isn’t? 😉
