A day in Baguio

Baguio is situated in the North of Manila amidst the mountainous region of Cordillera and is one of the few places in the Philippines blessed with a cool climate. Not surprisingly, Baguio has become the "summer capital" of the country.
My younger sister and I flew to Manila on Friday (07/12/13) and meet my other 2 sisters there. From Manila, it took us 8 long hours by bus to get to Baguio city. We arrived at the Bus terminal in Baguio at 9pm and, fortunately, I ran into some workmates and decided to stay in the place where they are staying since we haven't had any place to go on that very moment.


   

This place is really, really cold. Air conditioner is no need. Mind you, the water from the faucet is like an "iced water" we buy in stores, freezingly cold. Sure you wouldn't like to wash your hands.


The next day, we then prepared ourselves for the city tour.
Within a mile of the city, the sweet scent of pine trees and flowers already permeate the air.


I should say that Baguio is gifted with variety of cultural, historical and scenic attractions which make it important and interesting destination to tourist. Bellow are the places we've visited.



thought of seeing botanical plants but there wasn't.


Wright Park is just right across the house of the President.


Yey! I finally got to the house of the President.

Souvenir shops are just around the corner. Let's go and get some stuff.

As we exit the wright park, these horses lining up greeted us.

This isn't the season for strawberries yet.. November-April is preferred time to pick some strawberries in the farm

You can find an Open-window Mall here in Baguio city. The cold air is just coming in and out of the mall like the people around.

After the sun down, we headed for a dinner at the mall bringing all the "Pasalubong" we got along the tour.  When we came back  to our place we ate all the strawberries we bought in the black market as we were not able to pick some berries in the farm.
