Pagudpud is the Boracay of the north. In Boracay, there are lots of people. In Pagudpud, very few people. So if you just wanna relax, be by yourself, this is the place to go to. We stayed at Saud Beach Resort. The price is quite expensive compared to the other resorts. But its the best there and its the safest. They say on the remote places of Ilocos Norte, there are NPA (New People's Army). These peeps are not so friendly. These are the people who hostages people. Specially foreigners. So its better to be safe. To get to Pagudpud, from Manila, ride the plane to Laoag, Ilocos Norte. The trip is about an hour. Then from the airport, ride a jeep going to the mini-bus station. In the mini-bus station, choose the bus going to Pagudpud. The trip will be about 2 hours or less. Then the mini-bus will drop you off at the tricylce station, tell the tricycle driver the resort you are staying at. Travel time about 10 minutes or less. So here are the pictures. Feel free to comment on them.

Well, this time is not the best month to go there. There are lots of typhoon right now. The days we were there, it was always raining. We didnt see any sunrise or sunset. So its better to go during summer.

Souvenirs. The flowers were made from shells. It costs like P20. That would be like 40 cents in USD.
