Raymond our tour guide, turned friend.
TIP: For this leg of the Ilocos Tour, don't forget to bring a jacket, especially if you are travelling on a "ber" month as it gets quite cold.
Our first stop from FIR is the rustic town of Burgos, where the Kapurpurawan White Rock Formation and the Cape Bodeajor Lighthouse are located.
Kapurpurawan White Rock Formation
The name came from the Ilocano word "puraw", which translates to "white" ~ the color of the various rock formation seen in the area.
This windmill is part of a new batch of windmills installed in Burgos (visible to the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation attraction), the original ones are located in Bangui.
Cape Bodeajor Lighthouse
The lighthouse was first lit in 1892 and is still in service to date (talk about 126 of history). This lighthouse is in fact a National Historical Landmark.
The 66ft tall lighthouse overlooks South China Sea.
TIP: Do not hesitate to ask the resident tour guide to take your photos. They take real good souvenir pictures. Tipping is not necessary, but such good job deserves something.
Bangui Wind Farm
The wind farm has 20 units of 230ft high windmills which stretched along the shoreline of Bangui bay, facing West Philippine Sea.
No gloomy weather can dampen our sunshiny spirit!
Our last stop is the Blue Lagoon ~ unfortunately the waves were rough and so the kids did not get to hostage the beach. Sand was fine and comparable to Boracay, but not as white.
TIP: Hannah's Beach Resort restaurant would be a nice stop over, before heading back to Laoag or Vigan. It is located right in front of the Blue Lagoon. They have very good coffee, perfect for the cold weather.
Our tired bodies now calls for some rests ~ Day 3 of Ilocos Tour ends here. It would take another 2 hours to go back to FIR.
