It's a summer destination for all Filipinos. There's a lot what's in store for you in Baguio City.
From Manila, it will take you 6-hours drive to reach Baguio City. Once you get out from your vehicle, you will grab your jackets. If you're a first timer in here, you can tell that the whole city is in air conditioned.
My first stop is breakfast. Leaving Manila at 1am and a 6 hours long travel time, who doesn't want breakfast? Me and my friends went to Pizza Volante at Session Road, Baguio City.
We sip with some hot coffee and hot baterol (hot cocoa). People here know this restaurant for they serve great tasting pizzas and pasta. Their specialty is Corsican rice is absolutely a must-try!
What I have ordered is Vegetable Omelette with Corsican rice. I admit that I like what they have served me. It satisfies my hunger for a day start.
Having our breakfast done. We went to check-in at Pine Breeze. They have plenty of room accommodation. We rented an efficiency room, the one with a kitchenette. To be honest, their facilities are kinda bit old like the faucet and hot and cold shower is kinda old. Probably it's because of the weather that why it looks like it's been used for a long time. A room good for 8 people at 1750 per night, it's fair enough.
After we checked-in we began our Day Tour. A lot of inviting attractions you can explore in Baguio. First stop, Shopping! You can go to SM City Baguio at Luneta Hill Dr., Baguio City. This is the only SM Mall in the Philippines that doesn't have air-conditioner in the vicinity. There are some locale native shop can be found here. I bought a beanie here. You can grab some coffee at Starbucks here. In my case, I grab Hot White Chocolate Mocha.
If you love to see the beauty of nature, you can go to Botanical Garden at Leonard Wood Dr., for nature tripping, Burnham Park at Chuntug Rd., for lake boat riding and Mines View Park at Outlook Dr. for breath taking scenery. For late night out, you can go to Nevada Square at Loakan Rd., to grab some beer.
Travelling to Baguio City is one experience that I couldn't forget. The city is commercialize. BPO hubs are sprouting in the city. You can still experience city and nature merge in a cool climate. I can tolerate this kind of weather that Baguio offers. A very nice place to live.
