riverside, la paz batchoy at city proper (ang iloilo trip part 2)

after magkape, nagpatuloy na sa iikot ng iloilo ang grupo.

riverside boardwalk

just a few blocks away from smallville is the riverside boardwalk kung saan may bars and resto din na pwedeng pang-hang out or you may just walk (or run kung trip mo) on the riverside na according to jan ay jogging area din tuwing umaga at hapon. its a kilometer long, parang 1.1km yata (forgot the exact digit) sabi ni nick, ang isinamang tourguide ni jan. saktong exercise venue din ito sa mga health buff dahil makaround trip jog ka lang sa haba nito ay tiyak na tagaktak na ang langis mo sa katawan.

iba talaga ang hangin sa iloilo, sarap tumambay sa riverside

salamat kay picasa at lumiwanag ng konti ang madidilim kong pics

ted's la paz batchoy

after the almost-two-kilometer-walk, kain ulet ang ginawa namin and this time we tried the famous la paz batchoy kung saan sa iloilo daw talaga nag-originate. ted's la paz batchoy is open 24 hours at malapit lang ito sa smallville at riverside, so perfect place para magrelax at magpaalis ng amats after gimik. this is the best tasting la paz batchoy na natikman ko sa buong buhay ko. exaggeration ba? kailangang mong masubukan to find out what i'm saying about. plus, pedeng magpa-refill ng sabaw and additional chicharon for free.

here's what i ordered: a batchoy and a can of coke zero

it was  at almost 2am when we then head back to our hotel to wrap up the day dahil kinabukasan ay iikutin pa muna namin ang iloilo city proper then head to concepcion to go to the sandbar island.

march 20, 2011/sunday

9:00am nang kami'y nagising and when out for a quick breakfast, ligo, packed up para handa na to go to the next destination after going outside to explore the iloilo city proper. here are few of the pictures i took using my camera phone.

syempre, hindi mawawala ang city hall

katabi ng city hall ang kanilang museum which is closed on sunday

12:30pm when we head off to concepcion. mula sa city, took a jeepney ride to the bus terminal and hire a van going to sara for 100php. the van looks like its not going to make it through the night, 50/50 ang lagay niya pero kung humarurot sa highway ay daig pa ang patok na jeep ng cubao. matatag sa rough road na kokonti lang naman (naimpress ako dahil concrete na lahat ng daanan sa iloilo) at umo-overtake pa ito. sayang lang at hindi ko napiktyuran para makita nyo kung gaano hindi na aabutin ng sikat ng araw ang van na ito, hehehe..
3:25pm when we arrived at sara then took a jeepney ride to concepcion which cost 15php. sa concepcion kami makikipag meet kay kuya sonny (ang contact ni mapanuri sa sandabar) para ihatid kami sa island. continued on the next post..
