The Bangui Windmills — the Poor Traveler had been longing to see these enormous electric fans since the news broke that there were plans of harnessing wind energy in the Philippines. I had never seen windmills before (not counting those in kiddie cartoons I used to watch). That’s why standing before these giant fans was such a personal milestone.

On the way to the site, everyone got so excited because we could already see the windmills. Everyone prepared their cameras and flip flops, the girls wore their hair up. When our van finally halted, everyone stormed out of the vehicle as if it were about to explode. It was that crazy.

But the wind was crazier. It was so strong it kept on ruing the Poor Traveler’s poor hair. I wanted to have so many pictures of myself taken at the site but my hair was just a spoiler because of the wind. It actually ruined my mood, to be completely honest. LOL.

We didn’t expect these windmills to be that huge. Of course we knew they were big but NOT that big. It was a little difficult to find the right angle from which we could see most of the towers.

We were also expecting 15 of them but I think there were more. We counted it but now that we’re back in the city, nobody remembers how many are there exactly. Haha.

Oh by the way, on the way to the windmills, this signage caught our attention. Just sharing. Funny.
