Day IV: Solo Backpacking Ilocos

From Vigan, I need to go back to Ilocos Norte for the continuation of my backpacking. I hailed a tricycle  to bring me at Partas Bus Terminal. (Fare: P15.00)

Info/ Story:
 Partas Bus Terminal - Near Vigan Public Market, Vigan to Batac( air-conditioned bus, Fare: P98.00.I told the Bus Conductor that I will alight at Batac(since we will pass by Batac,the flow of my tour should be like this:Batac-Paoay-Laoag),but I think he was absent-minded I assumed and it's already at the town of San Nicolas when we had a little argument because i had a feeling the we already passed by Batac. I have no other choice but to return to Laoag and checked in at Texicano Hotel and reunited with my other stuffs I left one day ago. So much of that story. And it was already past 12noon.I need to be productive on my 4th day.Left unnecessary stuffs, just brought some clothes,tripod and camera all in my Daypack.Now back to regular programming! Tour Again!)
