Baguio The 3rd

Oops. Looks like this blog is creepily becoming like a travel log.

2008. 2009. 2011 - this year is the year I went back to Baguio.  

We stopped over at Am'z tita's place to leave our bags so that we can sight see Manila's historic place of Luneta and nearby locations without lugging our luggage :). 

Many, many thanks to their graciousness, they are so kind and welcoming. Tito Arnel's wisdom is inspiring, should be like that when Im older. 

It is definitely an artist's house - the dinner table, mobile sculptures, stack of paintings, and most amazingly is the wolf and sheep fur! Loved it, its my first time to touch a real dead-animal fur. 

Baguio Bound.

We arrived at Baguio around 7am and it was foggy ang cold. It was such a nice feeling when the cold wind is touching your skin. 

It's my third time, and it already feels like home. I can definitely stay in Baguio for long periods of time if I have somebody to stay while here and not stay in hotels or inns. I wish I have relatives in this part of the Cordilleras.  

First stop is the most famous of Baguio streets, Session road. 

It is still the same, with the traffic and cars parked on the road sides and makes it even more crowded. However the chaos it looks, it still is a charmer. Maybe because of the cold weather, people doesn't mind the disorder.  

The rain only deterred us a little on our scheduled walks to famous places tourists should visit. It always does so in the afternoon, a good thing because we are tired anyways from all the walking in non plain roads. 

Burnham park - check. 

Boat @ Burnham - double check. 

Biking - check 

On our 2nd day we visited Wright park, the Mansion, Mine's view and the Botanical garden. So much green parks. I wish every city in the Philippines have at least one Botanical garden-esque park to pride of.  

The 3rd day was spent at the Philippine Military Academy. It is a HUGE area! Precipitation comes in 2 forms here. Fog and rain. Fogs has this effect of making your surroundings eerily mysterious when they are all covered in white. 

We did not forget to bring pasalubong of course. I only bought two sling bags and 3 jars of strawberry jam for home.

Goodbye.

Going back to Cebu on this super early flight, needs to work later. Ahh, and for the record I can now sleep on the bus! My next target is to sleep on the plane :D 

Baguio rocks! And cool too...
