Pangasinan Escapade 2013 pt. 1

We've been here last year for a formal ocassion of my boyfriend's cousin. Which his sister was one of the entourage. I've heard a lot great things about Pangasinan, from his father up to his other siblings. Since I recently left my work at that time, I decided to come over with them. It takes 5-8 hours to get there from here in Manila but, you really have to get up early if you wanted a minimal traffic of EDSA. We only stay there for 1 day and 2 nights ( I guess??) because of his sister's work. But now, we came back! for a real vacation.

DAWEL RIVER CRUISE in Dagupan, Pangasinan

After a night of rest in his cousin's house, we decided to experience the Dawel River Cruise. It is one of Dagupan's Tourist attraction. According to Dagupan Local Government website, It is a 45 minute cruise  along the river and a perfect spot for couples. So, we are all really excited to be there to feel the river and to get some pictures also. But then, we only get disappointed. The man on that picture said that the cruise had been stop sine June 3, 2013 for their boat maintenance. Duhhhh....Dagupan Local Government website really need an update about this.

What we only did was to catch up some photos from there. I love what they did on their fish statues. Very artistic and colorful. It would be nice if we could only get by on that cruise. Sayang talaga.

CAPITOL BEACHFRONT in LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN

Actually, it is part of our itinerary to visit this place. But before we start to walk on, we feel hungry that's why  we take our lunch in CSI Lucao Mall. After that, we proceed to Lingayen Beach. It takes 30-45 Minutes from Dagupan to Capitol ( if you are familiar to that place ). A cost of 30php per head if you take jeep. I don't know how much it cost for other utility vehicles. Since we are all newbies on that place, we really don't know where to drop by. Their cousin ask for someone who knows the place ( in Pangalatok language ). The good news? we are in Lingayen, but the bad news is, lumagpas na daw kami..So we get tricycle service to take us in Capitol Beachfront EXACTLY!.

Finally, we are really there!I was really fascinated and thrilled when it comes to beaches. My boyfriend said that the sand on this beach was from Mt. Pinatubo's eruption way back 1990's? ( i dont't know the exact year eh!) according to his Lola. It has a white gray sand and clear sea water. The place was really nice and clean because people on that area really protect and maintain the beautiful aura of Lingayen Shoreline. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay even in short time doing anything like taking photos, drinking, swimming and our all time favorite "Videoke" hahaha..
