SUMMER ADVENTURES 2011 PART 2

*This is a continuation of my previous post SUMMER ADVENTURES 2011 PART 1

If you enjoyed the lighthouse, wait and see. But before heading to the windmills, we stopped for a quick lunch in one of the restaurants nearby. 

We ordered Adobong Pusit (Squid)

Adobong baboy (Pork stew)

Seaweeds w/ tomatoes

and of course steamed rice

Aside from those, they also serve from grilled fish of different kinds, depending on the season, grilled squid, deep fried pork chops, more kinds of sea weeds, pinakbet, etc. Not to mention, the restaurant is overlooking the South China Sea. Could any lunch be more amazing?


We finished lunch a bit fast, and we arrived on our next destination on time.


Next stop:

The Towering BANGUI WINDMILLS
(officially named as NorthWind Bangui Bay Project)
Bangui, Ilocos Norte
The Bangui Windmills are located in Bangui, Ilocos NortePhilippines. The windmills, officially referred to as the NorthWind Bangui Bay Project, were a project by the NorthWind Development Corporation as a practice renewable energy sources and to help reduce the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The project is the first “Wind Farm” in the Philippines consisting of wind turbines on-shore facing the South China Sea and considered to be the biggest in Southeast Asia. The project sells electricity to the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) and provides 40% of the power requirements of Ilocos Norte via Transco Laoag. http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Bangui_Windmills
 

Just imagine how big and tall these fans are. You will need around ten to fifteen people hand in-hand to hug the circumference of the base of one windmill.
