Ilocos Norte: Kabigan Falls
Kabigan Falls are absolutely gorgeous. The walk to get there is easy and beautiful as you wander through the forest listening to the sounds of mountain rivers, and snack on delicious treats along the way.
Ilocos Norte: Pagudpud
The last two days of our road trip were spent driving around Pagudpud, exploring and discovering the most beautiful coastline and mountain regions. This place is heaven on earth.
Ilocos Norte: Paoay and Pagudpud
Day three was driving up the coast to Pagudpud. On the way we checked out the incredible Badoc Island, stopped at Paoay Church to admire the ancient architecture then made it to our resort in Pagudpud in time for a swim and gin and tonic on the beach, watching the sunset.
Ilocos Norte: Badoc Island
Badoc Island is one of the Philippines best kept secrets. This little strip of white beach sits 1km off Badoc Beach and is simply perfection.
Ilocos Sur: Vigan
The capital of Ilocs Sur is the famous town of Vigan. Centuries old, the architecture is Spanish style and the famous street ‘Heritage Village, Calle Crisolog’ is the reason everyone visits. This UNESCO Heritage site comes alive in the dark of night – when nobody is around.
La Union: Tangadan Falls
Tangadan Falls is a two-tiered waterfall located in the town of San Gabriel. It is about forty-five minutes from San Juan, La Union, and it is absolutely stunning.
La Union: San Juan
We feel like we really started our road trip here, in San Juan. Known for its surf, this is a popular beach for surfy types and backpackers. The sand is dark, warm and soothing, the water is wild and the sea breeze is gorgeous.
North Luzon Road Trip Series: The Roadtrip begins
A road trip is a great way to spend time together as a family, but let’s not fool ourselves. Kids whinge and whine and make you want to throw yourself out of the window sometimes. But at the end of it, their excitement and wonderment in discovery is pretty awesome.
Guide to Ko Lanta
If you are planning a trip to Thailand, I urge you to visit the less touristy Ko Lanta. It is gorgeous and the coastline will blow your mind.
When Holidays go Wrong
Sometimes things just don’t go to plan when you go on holidays. What then? You can cry in a corner, that is therapeutic, or you can just go to ‘Plan B’ and figure it out. Our time at Hong Kong Disneyland was certainly an experience.
