Going to Baguio City - Botanical Garden - Wright Park - The Mansion

Hubby bought tickets 3 days just before our desired date, but unfortunately due to a lot of people going to Baguio that same weekend, we were not able to buy deluxe tickets because they were all sold out. We left Manila exactly 9 o’clock in the evening and arrived at Baguio at past 3 o'clock in the morning, a 6 hours travel. Upon arrival at Baguio Terminal, I told hubby to buy our tickets going back to Manila because I read some blogs that most tickets going to Manila were always sold out and we don’t to be chance passengers. After buying tickets we went directly to the house where we stay which was located at Siapno Road Amsing, Pacdal and rest and sleep for a few hours, readying ourselves for our itineraries for that day.

Botanical Garden 

We started our tour at 7:00 am. From our transient house, it’s a walking distance from the terminal of jeepney going to the city proper. We were supposed to eat breakfast along Session Road but sadly we lost our way (haha!) and heading back again from the terminal. Haha! ;p

On our way, we saw Botanical Garden, and we decided to drop by. Right after we get off the jeepney, there were tourists taking pictures at the center of the Botanical Garden's sculpture, then there were elders of an Igorot tribe sitting in the corner that suddenly stood up and walked straight to them and joined on their picture taking! Hubby and I were not surprise because we already knew that set up, so what we did on our turn was we took few pictures with them and waited them to go back in the corner to have our selfie couple picture.

Botanical Garden is a very huge place, surrounded with flowers, there is an art gallery and there are vendors too selling souvenirs. The place was also perfect for photoshoots. look what we've done. Haha! :)


Wright Park

Wright Park is just a few walks away from Botanical Garden. I was amazed with their ponies painted in different colors; they're so pretty, though the place was a bit stinky because of the “poops” of the horses. They were also offering a horseback riding which is perfect for kids and adult to spend a quality time.

You can also do picture taking and rent and wear their native attire and regalia with unlimited shots.

The Mansion

From Wright Park you can take a cab or climb in a wide stairway to the The Mansion. We chose to climb, to see what's up there. And, I suggest you better go climbing even though got my legs so sore and tired and I can’t breathe anymore! Haha! What's up here is the so called "Pool of Pines" the elongated rectangular body of water and opposite to it was of course the "The Mansion".
