Vigan, Ilocos Sur



welcome to Vigan, Ilocos Sur


where history is painted on it's grandeur walls... 
and where people are still part of that moment...
and present is a reflection of humble generation....


i love this town...
and I love my country as I love my history...


 I left Manila around 10:30 pm taking the Dominion Bus along EDSA Cubao
 It's a 9 hours land travel...
you may check the schedule and fare 
 I arrive in Vigan at 8 am... had my simple breakfast...
and walk back in time and season...


 I hire a trike for 300 php to take me around the town and the Baluarte ni Chavit...
I stayed here for about 3 hours..


 I ask one home owner to tour me around his ancestral house... 
it's really enchanting...


not just because of the ancestral village but because of it's warmth people...


i bet this was once a busy street... 
back in the ages when life is as simple as breathing...


and when life is not that complicated...


kalesa for a ride...
it's 150 php to tour around the village...
and even though it's not part of my plan to visit the infamous Baluarte...


 I had a chance to take a tour to the open zoo...


and my simple side trip warms my heart in so many ways...


total cost: to be continued in my Pagudpud travel adventure:

companion: none
