The Backpack Traveller (Part 3)

it was November 1, right after we took a half day tour of the lovely VIGAN, we decided to push our travel in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and would probably spend the night there. What is something interesting there? The WINDMILLS!

We took Partas Bus bound to Laoag, since there was no direct bus going to Pagudpud. We paid Php 200 and is already airconditioned. We left around 12 noon. We did the siesta while travelling to refresh our strength for our next stop. The travel is about 2-3 hours and was enough to get enough strength. ^_^

We arrived in Laoag Partas Bus Terminal around 2 in the afternoon. We asked a tricycle to send us on a bus terminal bound to Pagudpud. As far as i can remember, there is no airconditioned bus going there. And that you have to prepare your scarf to cover up your hair to avoid lots of tangles. We pai
d Php 60 and the travel is about an another 2 hours.

it was a good trip and that we are glad to have known another Bisaya among the passengers. We asked about how to get there, exactly on the Bangui Windmills. He said, the government had opened 2 Windmills spot for the public to visit. But it is Bangui who is a lot popular and safer. As soon as you arrive Pagudpud, you will now see gigantic windmills over the place. and that we cannot stop ourselves taking pictures of it and that we have forgotten that there must be a better view of it. You will never stop your heart for beating fast because of the exciting views who greeted you along the way. We were stopped by the bus driver exactly on the tricycle terminal that will send us to Bangui Windmills. After a few negotiation, we agreed to pay him Php300 for his service.

It was quite far from the national highway and it was indeed a very good decision to have rented a tricycle. And finally, we arrive on the most fascinating view among the places we have visited: The BANGUI WINDMILLS.

We never regret that we took this spot as the last stop to make. This made the statement, THE LAST BUT NOT DEFINITELY THE LEAST BUT THE BEST. Amazing experience indeed to have touched an enormous thing called the windmill in your entire life. What makes you more adore the place is its virginity to urbanization. Definitely the best place to unwind. The strong winds and waves are just the sounds you will hear buzzing in your ear. so refreshing!

This indeed made our trip so amazing. Since we don't want to spend the night in Pagudpud, we decided to go back to Manila and spend the rest of our 10 hours travelling.
