road trip

planning for a road trip to the north?

some suggestions where to stop...

1) pampanga
- perfect stopover for lunch or dinner is aling lucing. still the best sisig for me.

2) tarlac
- palaisdaan is also a favorite stopover to fill your tummies up for the long drive ahead

3) vigan
- make sure to try tongson's royal bibingka
- order the bagnet and vigan longganisa at cafe leona. it's also a good idea to grab a bottle of budweiser (the czech beer not the american).
- places to check out: crisologo st, crisologo museum, burgos museum, plaza salcedo, plaza burgos, st paul cathedral, arzobispado


4) ilocos
- don't miss the following: marcos museum at batac, paoay church (also grab a bite at herencia cafe, it's just in front of paoay church), bangui windmills (kang kang cafe offers shelter from the sun, have a cold drink or hot coffee), cape bojeador lighthouse, malacanang of the north, fort ilocandia (lots of stuff to do here - atv, golf, archery, etc)

5) pagudpod
- saud beach, we stayed at terra rika beach and dive resort. we got a beachfront room for just 2500. not bad considering it's air conditioned, with ref, and bathtub!
- blue lagoon (haven't been there but i've heard the beach is better than saud)



still thinking about it???? just gas up and go!!! the long drive is worth it!!!
