DAY 2
Departed: Vigan, Ilocos Sur at exactly 4:30 am
Arrived: at Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte past 7:00 am
Breakfast at Saud Beach courtesy of Aling Thelma's Eatery
9:00 am - on our way to Blue Lagoon (which is another 16 kms away) to look for a resort & spend our night there but to no avail, none suits our tight budget. : ( so what we just did was parked our ride and enjoy the beach for at least a couple of hours ;)
Malingay Cove most commonly known to tourist as Blue Lagoon has a very nice beach but when you go further near Kapuluan Resort, they don't have a nice beach front because of rocks/corals. there are many small resorts including home stay to choose from but we prefer to spend the night at Polaris.
11:00 am - drove to French Riviera of the North (Patapat Viaduct lang po) all the way to Kilometer Post 578 which is the farthest road we ever been to, wala lang, just to have a reference point. then balik lang ulit.
past 12 noon, checked in at Polaris Beach Resort
3pm time to go to the beach, it's kodakan time ; )
Saud Beach needs no further intro, am sure many of you have heard it from a friend or might seen it on tv. Some say it's the Boracay of the North, we dunno why, we can't agree nor disagree since we haven't been to Boracay Island.

DAY 1
We left manila @ 12 midnight
after 3 stops for refueling & 9 hrs of long drive plus a couple of stopover to check on some resorts along ilocos, we finally reached our first destination, Vigan, Ilocos sur.
we had our breakfast at mcdo, then checked in at El Juliana hotel which suits our budget @ 1Kplus/per night.
thobs needed a rest so we have to wait for him to wake up so we can go out & have our late lunch @ Plaza Salcedo.
syempre, Vigan tour won't be complete w/o their famous Ilocos Empanada, thobs & I including Aoi ordered some while the 2 boys prefer Jollibee ;p
we then visited the Bantay Church and after that we walked the street of Calle Crisologo.

No, we did not spend not a single day in Greece, it was just an imagination, or was it a dream come true? We don't know. You do the math.
1. Do we have enough resources for the entire trip?
2. Where did we spend our Christmas?
3. How long have we been gone?
4. Diba may visa don? Expired na nga passport namin eh.
5. Do we have any Greek friends?
