Summer Road Trip: Ilocos Norte

-
For our final destination before we went back home, we decided to make a detour to Ilocos Norte. We stayed there for three days (May 25 – 27, 2015).

We first went to Badoc to go to Juan Luna Shrine but sadly it was under renovation so we did not had the chance to go inside. But the tour guide talked about Juan Luna’s painting and life.


We then check in Playa Tropical Resort in Currimao, which was so nice. The place is a Balinese inspired beach side resort and we got a tierra, which is a cottage type house, which can accommodate 8 persons and it has its own pool.


Since it was on the beach side you can have the option to swim in their pool or in the beach. And I had so much fun swimming wit
h my family.

The next day we went to tour around Ilocos Norte (Paoay, Laoag City and Batac)

Marcos Presidential Centre (Batac)



Paoay Chuch (Paoay)



Malacañang of the North

This trip has been so fun and educational at the same time. I got to spend more time with my family and at the same time learn about the history of the Philippines. I also got to relax in Playa Tropical Resort and I recommend the place to anybody who is looking for a place to relax and get away from the busy city.

              I've read 8 books last month and most of them are part of a series because I want to finish some series like the shatter me series and the school of good and evil. I have also read and review an ARC for an indie author, which is Delight by Moras Dela Paz. I did try to finish reading Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas but sadly that did not happened so I'll try and finish that next month. Moving on to my wrap up... 1. Delight (Happiness #1) by Moras Dela Paz  You think you know someone… Serena and Eli have known each other for as long as they can remember. Their parents are good friends and all but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to get along as well. Serena always thought that being a basketball prodigy destined for the pros has made Eli obnoxious and she finds his inflated ego out of this world.
