LIVE LAUGH LOVE To Travel: Travelling Vigan from scratch

It's tiring but rewarding that's what we felt travelling Vigan Ilocos Sur, considering the fact that we are from Davao City, we took Davao-Clark flight via Airphil, since that was the nearest possible flight that was available in our area. Upon reaching Diosdado Macapagal airport we took our lunch at SM Pampanga, we are not that familiar with the place and unfortunately none of us brought our hard copies for our itinerary, its like we are travelling from scratch and our only guide is with the help of internet and google map, so we asked directly the guard from SM if what are means of transportation going to Vigan terminal, and we were advised to ride a tricycle to take us to a public utility jeep that can send us to Dau bus terminal, so we hired a tricycle and pay P10 each and transferred to a jeepney bound for Dau Its tiring but rewarding thats what we felt travelling Vigan Ilocos Sur, considering the fact that we are from Davao City, we took Davao-Clark flight via Airphil, since that was the nearest possible flight that was available in our area.

We arrived around 1pm at the bus terminal and since we're not pretty sure what route and bus to take we decided to ask for assistance from the dispatcher of the terminal and was advised to wait for the Farianas bus bound for Laoag since that bus will stop to Vigan and can drop us there. We waited almost 3 hours roughly , finally around 5 pm the bus show up "Oh thank you!" that's the first word that came out of our minds due to the inconvenience that we experienced that time, imagine the scorching heat of the sun surrounded with smoke-belcher buses, so we hurriedly run for the bus and immediately fill in the available seats , good thing the bus was great it had an a/c with a comfortable reclining seats, so the long wait was well compensated .

Its quite a long travel from Clark, to Vigan, we paid P480 each for the fare and around 3 pm the bus departed. The bus lines that we took made only 2 stopover and approximately a 15-minute stop to those two designated places, and take note it was far in between like 3-4 hours of interval so I suggest if there's any personal necessities that you need to do like urinating, you have to take advantage of it as much as possible or else you have to hold it until you reach your destination. Finally after 8 hours of long travel we reached Vigan City around 10pm.
