Traipsing Taipinoy 09 - Day 01: VIGAN

Just checked in to Grandpa's Inn right smack in the town's UNESCO-listed Mestizo District (P896/night). Lovely lovely weather. The plane ride here wasn't as tranquil though thanks to the turbulence. Reached Angeles circa 0500h and it was already brilliantly bright. Took a 10-hr bus ride (P437) north to Vigan, where we are right now. For most parts, you'll feel like you're on the NS Highway through Kedah until the road swerves and runs parallel to the coast. Dare I say the rocky coast and turqoise waters are reminiscent of the Irish seaboard. It hasn't rained yet, thankfully, but we hope it does later tonight. We can't wait to eplore the city later as well as the whole of tomorrow. Still reeling from the road punishment but our spirits are still high! Watch this space! MABUHAY!
