RE-VISITING THE CITY OF PINES WITH TUTEL'S SISTERS

Last weekend, we planned a vacation to Baguio with Tutel's sisters.  It would be a re-visit for us (for the nth time, haha! Just love the place!), but a first for them.  (You can read about our previous Baguio Adventures here >>1. Baguio City 2. PMA  3. Revisit )

Now, let the story of our journey begin.

We took the 11:55pm Victory Liner trip from Pasay to Baguio... arrived at 6:30am... and Baguio, as always, has welcomed us with her cold morning breeze, beautiful greenery and flowers.  I demonstrated that "smoke" comes from my mouth when I exhale, just a simple way to say that it is cold.

Revisiting the City of Pines

Tutel and I decided to take a break from the pressures of work and from the busy life of the Metro. We prepared our things for a three days out of town vacation and we started another FUN travel to revisit the City of Pines - Baguio City.

It took us 6 and a half hours of travel by bus. Bus ride(via Victory Liner) today would cost you about 440 pesos ($10). Price has gone up since I last remember traveling to my childhood hometown.  We stayed at my sister's place which was about 8 kms from the city proper. The advantages is that the place is relatively colder since there are still more trees in this part. There are less activity since there are no busy bars or restos, or busy streets filled with tourists trying to get their share of Baguio.
