Its been 5 years or so since we last visited Baguio City. So this weekend, the whole family went up to Baguio and enjoyed its climate, food and scenery.
At 630am we left the house for our weekend get a way, lucky us after an hour of travel our aircon died down and we can’t do anything but bare with the scourging heat and go on with our trip.
Our daughter can no longer take the heat and she started to be irritable, so we transfered her to the other car — where they enjoyed their aircon while we are starting our early penitence for the holy week. Hay, how lucky can we get?!
On our way to Baguio, we payed Our Lady of Manaog a visit.
Then we went straight to Baguio where we stayed in a transient home. The rent is way cheaper compared to hotel rates. The place we got was pretty spacious. It was able to accomodate all of us — 12 adults, 2 kids, 1 toddler & 1 baby. It has 4 rooms, sala, dining area, 2 toilet and bath with heater, kitchen and garage. We only paid Php 5,000 for 2 days. Not bad huh!?
Day ONE in Baguio:
We went to the market to buy shrimps and other condiments for our dinner and our sisters’ favorite Longanisang Vigan and Longanisang Baguio. In buying your longanisa, it’s better to buy on a per kilo rather than getting their per dozen longanisa.
Why? Because it’s more practical. The “per dozen” longanisa is priced lower but the size is much smaller — it costs around Php 100/3 dozens compared to Php 120/kilo (around 35-37 pcs) but the size of the longanisa is twice the size of the “per dozen” ones. Smart move, isn’t?
