Where to go next
My article on Ilocos Norte appears in the May issue of Travel+Leisure (Southeast Asia). The best time to go is December. I went in October, it was boiling.

Great place, this Cabo Bojeador light house. Went there last week, then to Saud Beach, then to the winding Patapat Mountain Bridge (or whatever they call it–it is indeed spectacular), almost halfway into Cagayan. Yeah, its scalding up there. Driving a thirsty SUV, I was watching the fuel gauge drop alarmingly near the “E” mark, which scared us all out of our wits since the nearest gas station was about 50 kms. back in Bangui. With luck and a lot of prayers,made it back thankfully. God, it’s such a beautiful country afterall. Someday, in my lifetime I intend to go back there and further explore the unspoiled places of the upper region.
