Weekend Snapshot #16 – Baguio City revisited
By Sasha on Feb 24, 2008 in Weekend Snapshot
My sisters Vi, Rox and I went to Baguio City last weekend. We went there to tour the city because my sister Vi hadn’t been there and to attend my bestfriend’s wedding as well.
We stayed at a hotel at Session Road, the Prime Hotel. The hotel is clean and is strategically located. It is very near restaurants and fastfood chains. You only have to cross the street and you’d be at the foot of the Baguio Cathedral. You only need to walk about 3-5 minutes and you’re in SM Baguio already. Walk about 3 minutes and you’ll be at the Burnham Park.
Anyway, here are some photos from our Baguio trip… (please click on the photo to enlarge it for a better view)
The Bell Church at the boundary of La Trinidad province
I really love this place! It is a Chinese Buddhist temple and it is very lovely and serene. You will notice that the place has sort of a lesson being imparted by means of the steps up the highest chapel. You can choose between two steps/paths: a rocky path or a smooth path. The rocky one is sort of the less used steps but turns out to be the easiest steps to climb. The other one is the complete opposite. Sometimes it is better to take the road less traveled. Hmm…
My sisters and I had taking so many photos at this place.
Strawberry Farm at La Trinidad province
We had fun picking strawberries at the farm 
Minesview Park (I suggest you enlarge this photo, you won’t regret it 
We feasted our eyes with this magnificent view at Minesview Park. It is really cold there that time and we took a lot of photos as well.
There you go. I will post more photos in the coming days… Have a fun week everyone!

magkano sa prime hotel? been thinking of going to baguio lately para makapag unwind

Cess, we got the room good for 4pax. P2,500 yun a day kasi festival season. Mas mura sana kung di festival season. Ipo-post ko mamayang konti yung pics nung hotel

hi sasha,
good morning…..
wow ang ganda ng baguio uy, thanks for sharing these beatufil scene, sana maka punta ako ulit ng baguio.
naka punta ako doon, b4 ko na met si bernie, yr,ยด86 siguro yon, dala ako ng distance relatives, kaya lang hindi ko na naala-ala saan yon, kasi first timer pa rin ako dyan sa luzon, galing probensiya.
sa nakita ko sa pics, how nice the views, lalo na yon mountain…..naku ang ganda siguro sa personal ano?
strawberries, pag punta ka dito, dalhin kita sa mga malapit na farm ng strawberries, self-picking lang,
tapos gawin natin, kain muna tayo, while picking, hanggang mabusog tayo, then saka na natin ipa-weigh yon nakuha natin…..
so yon lang ang bayaran natin…..di ba, mabuti?
hope someday, maka tour ka dito sa europe, sana malapit sa amin….
malapit din kami sa mga vineyards, kaya, we will go in wine probe-test…..then malasing na tayo, so hindi na tayo bibili sa mga wines nila….lol
jokes only………..pero pag nandito ka sa malapit sa amin, call me, so that we will meet, ok?
sigi kay basa pa ako sa mga post mo…..
ay totoo ito sabi ko sa iyo, ok?

We also went there this weekend but didn’t have the chance to see the Flower Festival because of heavy traffic in that area and the heavy rains in the afternoon and Sunday morning. Happy WS!
