Bell Tower of the Bantay Chruch

According to Flair Candy

Bantay Church was breathtaking! I really hate that my memory card got busted because it was my first time here and I took nice photos. Well, lucky enough I had my blackberry with me… I was live blogging and uploading all photos directly using Smart’s GPRS. Anyway, this is the Bell Tower of the Bantay Chruch. This church was built during the Spanish period (1530s) and it’s really really old. It’s three centuries old… and it’s still standing strong atop a hill. We went up to see a very nice view of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Abra Mountain, The South China sea and the city of Vigan.

Bantay sounds like bantai. In Malay, that’s “randomness” in a crude way.

Ok, the bell tower! HOT HOT HOT! Thank God for umbrellas. No one walked straight to the bell tower. We follow where there’s abundance of shadow casted by trees.

Dirty Ice Cream of Philippines

Dirty Ice Cream – This was the first time they tried dirty ice cream :P I explained that it’s clean but that’s just what we call it :p

Scooping Dirty Ice Cream

Quite cheap. Under RM2 for the biggest cone with 15 tiny scoops of chocolate, vanilla and …. someone help me here, durian? pineapple? peanut butter?

I ate all 15 scoops of the same flavor and I forgot what flavor I ordered X_X
