The next morning, we woke up early and excited for our ultimate destination, Pagudpud. We met for the second time our tour guy, Heinrich. He told us we would be riding the shuttle first and then get off where our service trike would be waiting for us. After a quick breakfast and some time of waiting for passengers, we finally hit the road.

Somewhere along the way we caught glimpses of the Bangui windmills and the Cape Bojeador lighthouse, which would be part of our tour later on that day. After about two hours, our best travel adventure in such a breathtaking part of our archipelago began. Here are the highlights of Pagudpud, Day 1: We paid P1000 for this package tour. Not bad!
