The long “overdue” break!!

Got to the bus station at 1:00am and totally disappointed to see right on the ticket counter,” Next trip – 3:00am!” I felt bad, I mean really bad!:( Though I was hesitant to buy it, thinking it could be a tactic, because if you get a 3:00 am ticket and get a chance on an earlier trip, they’ll charge you 10%. K True enough, I got on the 1:00am bus and paid 10% more, I’d rather than wait for another 2 hours! I planned to sleep when I got on the bus but couldn’t so, I opted for a cup of cappuccino on the first bus stop. After a few surfing on the net, thank God for wifi onboard! I was able to sleep. I woke up to a gorgeous sunrise!! :)
Arrived Baguio City at around 6:30 am. Was greeted by my all- time – favorite weather and the reason why I always escape to this city!! Brrrrrrr Walked from the bus station to Session road. Decided to have breakfast at pizza Volante, which by the way, also serves breakfast.  An hour later, I was walking towards the market, one of my favorite parts of this city as well. Strawberries and Sagada oranges were abundant! Went around and bought a couple of oranges. With no particular place to go, hopped on a cab and headed to “CafĂ© by the ruins”. Before I forget, I have to give credit to cab/taxi drivers of Baguio. Probably the most honest I’ve seen. Anyway, my day was filled with roaming around the city. Went back to session road for my strawberry shortcake! Mmmmmm You didn’t  go to Baguio City if you haven’t  tried it! :p

I thought about the good old times I came here, coffee with tira- tira, chicharon bituka along session road, longganisa, tupig, kakanin, mais na puti inihaw!! Wow! It’s all about food huh? Lol

I think I will never get tired of Baguio! Maybe it’s my love for cooler weather, maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the food, or maybe, just maybe, it’s the thought that I’m  on vacation.
