Urdaneta, Pangasinan

We left manila around 3pm through nlex. We took the tabang exit to visit the historic barasoain church in malolos. We passed through pampanga and tarlac and then we decided to spend the night in urdaneta, pangasinan. I thought we were going to drive all through dagupan and spend the night there. Apparently, he has no intention of spending good friday on the road. Our first stop in urdaneta is the lisland resort but it's fully booked. Probably because the rates are reasonable and the ambience is good. Our second stop is Goldland spring resort but its also fully booked. The children decided to take a dip there but we didnt feel like staying long. After getting our take-out dinner from chowking, we checked in at Urdaneta garden resort.

Urdaneta garden resort is still in the process of completion but most of the cottages near the frontage is already completed. What is still under construction are the expansion areas at the back. The amenities consists of two swimming pools and a restaurant. The accomodations are very nice. The one that we stayed in 'torrey pines is an airconditioned bungalow type with two rooms, a bathroom, a dining area complete with tv and ref for 2,500 per night.

We left around 10 am after having breakfast for Our Lady Of Manaog with wet bathing suits at the back of the Fortuner. The kids doesn't want to leave the place anymore because of the swimming pool but it was just too hot to be swimming in the day and too good a day to waste inside that he decided we go on to visit other places and marvel at God's creations.
