Vigan, Ilocos Sur

Finally we arrived in Vigan, Ilocos Sur around 6:30 PM, we had some stop overs in relatives so we got here almost dark. There were so many tourists and antique shops, I looked at some shops with antique knives. Of course there were fast food restaurants in the city which is pretty cool because the last time we got there there wasn't any. We took a break in sight seeing in a park, it was dark now but thankfully there were LED lights in the city. This picture was taken in a park where some skate boarders practice.  After we took a break we ate dinner at Mang Inasal we went straight home from Ilocos to Cavite.

I woke up in 5:30 in the morning to see a spectacular view from the building, surprisingly it wasn't that cold, not like in the Quirino bridge. Around 7:00 in the morning we ate breakfast and we took off.

This year we traveled to Ilocos last February. But before we went to Ilocos Norte we stopped over to the Quirino Bridge, it's an abandoned bridge that's now a tourist attraction. When I got out of the car I was wearing a thick jogging pants, a T-shirt and a hoodie and the freezing wind that slapped me in the face was bone chilling, it was around 8:30 in the morning at that time and it was unbelievably cold. There were guards in the bridge, holding the tourists into not going into the middle of the bridge. The scenery in the bridge was dazzling I looked into the lake and I sometimes see some fish swimming, the tide was low and it wasn't wavy. I tried to take a decent picture of the bridge but as you can see my index finger sort of got in the way because I was shaking in cold, the only e...
