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".
