Baguio trip and Weekend Snapshot

April 14th, 2008

Warning: This is a longish post. This post contains an update on my latest Baguio trip and my Weekend Snapshot entry.

When I came back from Baguio, I still carried around that feeling of being on vacation. Ang hirap bumalik sa work mode hehe… So I just scheduled two posts and that’s it.

We went to Baguio last Friday, April 4 at around 3am. We were 21 persons in all. 3 aunts and 2 uncles from my father’s side of the family with their families. We went there because my dad have not seen Baguio yet and it was his 50th birthday last April 2nd. We stayed at Tiptop Vacation Homes located at Pacdal Road, Baguio City. It’s a bit far from downtown but I swear to you, the place is worth it! Php4,000 a night with a great view of the surroundings plus no charges for additional beds. Click here to see what the place looks like.


Ganyan kami karami hehe

When we went to Baguio, the temperature at night was 15 degrees. Brrr… Love the cold weather! We went to the usual tourist spots like Burnham Park (where the kids went boating and we had fun with bikes), Mines View Park, Wright Park, Strawberry Farm, Bell Church, Grotto. And then at night, we had barbecues and lots of laughs.

We have so many photos taken and you will see more of it in the coming Weekend Snapshot entries of mine. Below is my official entry for the Weekend Snapshot this week.

That’s the view from the terrace of the place we stayed at. I think that’s around 6 in the evening. I really recommend the place we stayed at. The owners are great. Very accommodating. You need only ask them and they will give it to you. The place is high so it’s much colder than when you’re downtown. And the house is very cozy and clean.

My family, relatives and I just love Baguio so much. A province and yet a city. You get the tranquility and peace of being in the province yet you still get the benefits of being in a city.

Have a great week everyone!
