Yesterday, I went to the city of Vigan just south of Laoag City. Coincidentally, they also celebrated their Kannawidan Festival, it showcases the different cultures, sights and products of Ilocos Sur. When we talk ahbout Vigan, two things immediately came out in my mind, thats Chavit and UN World heritage site. They say its a place no other in the Philippines because its only here where Asian and European architecture are found. Before heading out, I took again photo with their monkey stuff today which is cute for me. Haha. Look we were so close together. Surely I will miss this cuddly monkey when I go back in Davao.

This bus below is my ride to Vigan, its a non-air conditioned coach. One way fare was P100. I wished I didn’t choose this one because it was scorching hot yesterday. You can take Parbas Bus next time.
