Backpacking: Ilocos Norte (Day 1)

Ilocos! And yes, Ilocos it is! One of my must-to-visit-place, I wanted to visit the place since I was in high school for I had seen many of its beautiful historical places, stunning views and beautiful beaches in the televisions, books or it is even mentioned in our social studies subject and Ilocos has proven me right!

I went their with my two colleagues or shall we say travel buddies. Remember my last Baguio trip post last month. (this is the continuation of the journey and I'm so sorry for being so lazy updating my travel blog).

And that place is called VILLA ON A CLIFF. The place is very perfect for family vacation because it is private, for it is not just a resort or a hotel but a summer home, almost all of their accommodations are served in a family style. And not just that it is also the place where we can visit the famous whale sharks or what we called the butandings. I just can't wait to visit the place someday.
