Places we visited:

People normally go here for breakfast. However, I do not like the food. But the place is truly a hidden garden filled with different kinds of plants. Still a must-visit!

Too bad pictures are not allowed inside. :'(

How did we get there?

On my first time in the Ilocos Region, I did Do-It-Yourself Style.

Via Air:
I flew to Laoag International Airport, upon arrival there is a free shuttle that will drop you off to your hotel/inn. All you have to do is to register at the tourism desk.

In Laoag, we hired a tricycle for 800 pesos to tour us around.
In Vigan, we were walking tour as all of the sites are just walking distance.
