Chronicles of our Ilocos Norte Visit

One of the best, i mean THE best places to visit in the Philippines is Ilocos Norte. The place is filled with visual poetry and history. And we were so blessed to have been invited by my mom and my dad to experience it with them. My Dad Steen has a rest house in Pasuquin, just a few minutes from Laoag and that's where we stayed for the two short days of our stay (our work schedule was really, really tight at that time but because of our desire to see Ilocos, we made a great and worthwhile effort to slip it in our schedule).

I and Jun left for Ilocos Norte at around 9pm via the Florida Bus Lines (they're the pink and periwinkle buses) and arrived at around 6:30am the following morning. So thats roughly 9 hours of travel.
