GM T Adventures at Fort Ilocandia

February 25, 2008 · Filed Under Musings, Events

Last weekend, the RF and Perfect Team were with me on a visit to Laoag for an event.

Before leaving for Manila on Sunday morning, the gang and I elected to stop by at Fort Ilocandia, now a resort but orginally built by the late president Ferdinand Marcos.

The sprawling compound is vast and luxurious. 5 star amenities like a casino, golf course, archery, shooting range and a mini zoo are just some of the many things you can do while staying at the hotel.

A photo essay of our visit after the jump

Here’s the entrance to the hotel resort.

Remember the courtyard? Here’s me posing. The courtyard fountain looks like it’s a set from either a Resident Evil 4 or Devil May Cry game. I was half-prepared for demons or zombies to just spawn from nowhere.

This is INSIDE the hotel. The ground areas are huge. (the deer are just statues)

Me and the Level Up team at the courtyard. Thank God, no zombies…

Aha! The ostrich’s head is not buried. Smile!

What’s up doc?!?

Although not in the Fort Ilocandia mini-zoo, I just had to get a photo of this goat. He’s the star in one of our stop-overs. We call him the “emo-goat”. Look at his hair! He’s like a rock star compared to the noob idiot goat to the left.

Cheers,

GM T
