Summer Road Trip: Baguio
My family and I went on an eight-day road trip from
Manila to Ilocos Norte. It was my second time doing this route with my first
time 12 years ago. Our first stop was Baguio where in we stayed there from May
20-23. We checked in The Manor, Camp John Hay, which was as beautiful as I
remembered it 12 years ago.
The Manor
was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and the rooms was super nice.
The following day we went on a tour around Baguio.
First we went to the Mansion
Then we went to the Wright Park was so beautiful because it was
surrounded by many flowers, which was nice because you do not see that many flowers
around in Metro Manila.
Next we went to Mines View Park, which has an amazing view of Baguio.
We also met this adorable
dog-named coco.
Baguio Cathedral
La Trinidad Valley where we
got to buy so many strawberries for a cheaper price compared to the ones in the
markets and they were organic. We also got to try their strawberry taho.
Lastly, we went to the
brewery where in they have a unique variety of beers like passion fruit beer
and a beer that tastes like coffee. My favorite is their strawberry beer.
We also tried their stuffed
peppers, which was so good. That it was gone after less than 5 minutes.
On the Third day we went to
the Philippine Military Academy where we got to see the history of the Philippine
Military, military training and equipment.
We also went to two of
Baguio’s haunted places. First is the Dominican Retreat House, which is one of
the top five scariest places in the world. The structure itself is scary and is
in ruins but the view outside the balcony was fantastic. You can see the whole
Baguio.
Next is Laperal House, which
is also known as the white house. It is a Victorian styled house and the inside
is full of wooden furniture.
For dinner we went out to
Canto, which was really good. It’s not expensive and the burgers, chili fries
and taco salad tastes amazing.
Overall, the trip was great because I
got to see more of the Philippines and I got to bond more with my family. Baguio is definitely one of the must see places in the Philippines.
