Better than Bora… so much cheaper too. And the trip is only have the fun. Me and 2 of my best girlfriends had this rooadtrip from Baguio to Pagudpud last March 20 to 22. Caution lang, maraming roads in Ilocos Sur that are currently under construction, mostly one way lang so medyo mahaba talaga yung trip. Pero sulit pa din because the sceneries along the way are to die for.
Inre places to stay, we booked in Polaris Hotel. Best place ever. Affordable food (half kilo grilled fish for 200bucks and 15bucks for a cup of rice). You can buy fresh seafoods at Bangui market and have it grilled in the hotel for 50bucks a kilo. Thats what we did. One whole yellow fin tuna for P110 and a huge Pakwan for 50bucks! Not bad, eh?
We also inquired dun sa mga homestays. Okay din, 1k for a two beds room. Actually, 2bedroom bungalow with fridge and tv, good for groups at 2k. Thats along the road leading to Polaris Hotel.
And to those nightowls: Walang nightlife. Everything settles down at 10pm. So thats when you catch up on your reading and gossiping with your ‘kadas lol
