The Summer Capital of the Philippines: Baguio It Is (Late post)

The City of Baguio :)

            Many people know the Philippines as a hot country or tropical country,but believe it or not there is a cold place or we call it The Summer Capital because of the high temperature in this place. Baguio City or Lungsod ng Baguio in Filipino is located in the province of  Benguet in northern Luzon Philippines. Unfortunately, there is no subway going to Baguio so we don't have any choice but to ride a bus or car. It takes 5 to 6 hours from Manila so we have to go there early morning. I'm kinda sleepy now hmmm... let's take a tour

Beautiful view 


Good place to relax hmmm...l


We departed 2am and arrived around 7:30 am wew! actually we didn't get much sleep because after 10 hours of work we went directly to the bus terminal but when you see the place oohhh... surely you will forget your stress hihi :)

We enjoyed our dining at 50' diner. They serve hefty food without hurting your budget and light meals for dieters. You can also enjoy the old USA atmosphere. On the whole, it is really a good place. Anyway, these photos were taken last April 2013, sorry for the late post :( Unfortunately, We didn't have much time to go to other attractions like Burnham Park, Camp John Hay and  Botanical Garden but maybe next time we can  surely visit other places there ja! I have to work now. I hope you enjoy reading this blog. see yah on the next post- rammypotpot :)
