Daan ka Batac para bisitahin mo si Lakay dun at baka bumangon pa. Then Paoay Lake & Sand Dunes before proceeding to Laoag proper.

sa gabi siguro itong time estimate nyo ano po. kasi kung umagahin ka na pagdating ng la union e 3-4 hrs ang sn fdo (lu) to vigan.

pati vigan to laoag e 2 hrs minimum lalu na kung hindi magbigayan sa may road construction sa cabugao ata yun atsaka iba pa.

smooth sailing lang laoag to pagudpud. kaya sa less than 1.5 hrs. (provided hindi na kayo hihinto para sa biscocho ng pasuquin, asin ng pasuquin, windmills, etc)

biro lang iyon brad. kaw naman. tama si cast. mapa na papel lang. pero syempre kung may gps bakit hindi.

After nyo kumain sa Tuguegarao ng Pancit Batil Patong at panghimagas na Alcala Mik Candy, bisita ka na din sa Callo Cave, mga 30mins drive from Tuguegarao City. Itaon mong sunny at walang ulan, para mas maganda yung view at hindi madulas sa loob ng kweba.

Kung need mong mag refuel sa Far North pinakamura sa Sanchez-Mira Cagayan (walang Seaoil) kaysa sa Laoag or Tuguegarao Gas Stations.

Ten years ago, haha, ang tanda ko na pala, Have tried the manila-ilocos-tugegarao-viscaya route before, that's 4 days during the holy week. We stopped at every scenic and old churches. So memorable. The following year naman, nag commute na kami for the Manila Solano Banawe/Batad Bondoc Sagada baguio route, road conditions are severe pa during that time, scenes are awesome, lalo na dun sa highest highway in the country, unforgettable.

Natuloy ako with friends, kaso until Pagudpud lang, we returned via Ilocos pa rin.

This time, pabalik na sana via Sagada. Dunno what route to use, side trip sana via Aparri. How many days would it take from Pagudpud - Sagada - Baguio - Manila?

so this is a brand new vehicle? if yes, do first a proper engine break-in (if specified on the users manual) before doing this long drives...

so we did this after three years, on a Prado 4.0 gas

two days at Palaui island, first half of the loop was via Nueva Ecija/Vizcaya, Isabela, Cagayan.
overnight stops at Vigan and Baguio

trip meter was at 1488KMs
