Weekend with my favorite girls in Baguio!
After our Quezon Province trip, me and my best buddies decided to celebrate our 10 years of friendship up in the north.
One Saturday morning, we woke up at 8am, took a bus in Cubao (via Joy Bus - fare is P750 each for one-way deluxe) heading to Baguio and hola! Hello, flowers and strawberries! ^_^
with my pretty girls inside the cozy room we rented for a night...
(not in the picture is my friend's bf/photographer :p)
Yes, we just rented a room for only P2,000.00 pesos per night, with two double deck beds for four (4) of us, a kitchen (you can cook since it was equipped with all the basic kitchen appliances), hot/cold shower, and a nice veranda.
Our itinerary during our first day wasn't that jam packed because we arrived in Baguio at around 4pm. We strolled in the busy street of Session Road to have our early dinner and then checked some 'ukay-ukay' items (sadly, I didn't found anything to buy because I prefer Divisoria in terms of buying cheap clothes, though my friends enjoyed it because of the bags on sale)
Our second day was a bit busier than the first, first stop was the "Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto".
From the home we stayed, it was only one jeepney away (10 minutes) so we opted to head here first.
From the Grotto, we took a cab to The Mansion....
At the Botanical Garden...
admiring the beauty of these orange and yellow flowers...
Before ending this blog post, I just noticed that my photos from PMA - Philippine Military Academy, Good Shepherd and Benguet Strawberry Farm were missing! :(
Anyway, here is a sample of a 2-day Baguio Itinerary for your guide, I edited this one because our time of departure from Manila wasn't highly recommended.
The best time to visit Baguio is during December to February, though there will be so many people around but the weather is definitely good!
Leave Manila @ 11pm (Friday) and you will arrive in Baguio the next day before sunset (Travel time is 6 hours from Manila).
You may want to have breakfast at Pizza Volante (open 24 hours)
After checking in the hotel...
Option 1: If your hotel is within the city, the best way to start is to visit the Baguio Cathedral, Burnham Park, Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Camp John Hay, Mines View, Good Shepherd then end it with Night Market in Session Road and Harrison Road.
Grotto, PMA, and Strawberry farm will be your destination on the second day.
Option 2: If your hotel is on the opposite side just like ours, you may opt to visit the Lourdes Grotto first, followed by Baguio Cathedral, Burnham Park, Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Camp John Hay, Mines View, Good Shepherd then end it with Night Market in Session Road and Harrison Road.
PMA, Bell Church and Strawberry Farm will be your destination on the second day.
Hope this helps. ^_^
