Burgos Ilocos Norte

Still on our first day in Ilocos Norte. after the north tour  adventure, we are now      errrr i think  im the one who is so excited for this Ilocos Norte  south tour!  *insert here the happiest smile*  

South tour are compose  of  the Giant electricfans (haha) - Bangui windmills, the ohhh so beautiful Kapurpurawan rock formation and the rustic Cape Borjeador.

These three wonderful wonders are located southern part of Pagudpud. took us less than 30mins of trike ride from Pagudpud (kabigan falls). we started by dropping off at the Bangui view deck. Basically just to see  those famous windmill from a far.
(by the way we grabbed a cool Bangui windmill t'shirt there!)

the much awaited  South tour started with: 

Cape Borjeador. Rustic light house. Another tower. It's ancient, it's historic. it's wow!

This has been definitely my first time to witness a lighthouse up close. We climbed up and you could really appreciate it's beauty as it permitted you to take a scenic glimpse of the gorgeous scenery of abundant forestry around the location.

after cape borjeador,we are now ready for those rock formation! ohhhh  be still my beating heart ;)
Going to kapurpurawan rock formation, we have to overcome an unpleasant rocky road ride which was 3.1 kilometers long. We journeyed patiently however, I could not ignore the fact that the unstable ride could get my internal organs misplaced somehow or whatever.HAHA But anyway, after that lengthy ride----finally!

Geeee! i always tot iL just see this on movies and magazines. But hey lookie where  here! Gaaaaahhhddd! awesome!  so real! It just soooooo eyegasmic that seriously it feels like your hit by the so called Love at first sight! see it for real and it's like seeing  Tom Cruise in flesh! =P

Now, im secretly talking to myself. telling me to just chill, relax, kalma lang. but damn  my heart is beating so fast! 'coz we are now going to Bangui WindMills!

                                                      *******
Of course, no Ilocos Adventure is complete without the Bangui Windmill visit.

This was one of my most looked forward to spots in the ilocos norte trip. like hello! come on, look at those giant electricfans!it's Larger than life!  I so love the Marcoses, pramis once your  in Ilocos, you will have that kind of feeling na: i wanna be a part of the marcos family! haha:)

It's soooo beautiful. Gigantically impressive.  upon seeing the famous windmills, iwas like-- "ohhh my gahhhhd Jesus i wanna die!"  

Im dreaming that this eco-friendly sources of energy will spread all over the 7,100+ Islands!
