LAST DAY IN BAGUIO

J and I had a good time out on the town the previous night that we came home around midnight already.

It was sad tough that the popular "Ukay-Ukay" that occupied a huge portion of Session Road especially for the Christmas Season, has just called it a day when we came into the area.

In the morning, the rest of the gang had their breakfast downstairs.

And, as what we always do in most of our hotel stays, we maximize the last day by sleeping in (or just relaxing) until it is check out time.

It was, as expected, the "same old menu" from yesterday
 but it was enough to make us feel energized for the load ahead.

Then it was time to do our last minute shopping as if we have not shopped yet the previous days.

Then it was time to go to Burnham Park as we believe that no one goes up to Baguio without visiting the famous park that holds many of my childhood memories in this city.

And because we had the whole afternoon to spare, we had all the time to do "touristy" things.

The first order of the day:  Boating!

Foot massage anyone?

Mukhang napipilitan lang ano?

Then our stomachs were growling and begging for food.
So off we went to the famous Solibao Restaurant right smack in the entrance of the park.
To say that we were hungry was an understatement.  We were famished!

We devoured all of these (and more!) in less than tn minutes!

So, to burn off those calories, we all went biking after - another Burnham Park to do list no doubt.

There's my little boy and his Ate Lyn striking a pose before speeding away.

After a fun filled day at the park, we then went to the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad.
But Mom was too tired to walk in the fields and the little bub was fast asleep when we arrived.  So, we just decided to shop around the area and left immediately.

Went to the Srawberry Fields and bought these instead. Geeeeez!

It was time to get ready for the long trip home.
And though the schedule was not until midnight, we had to go within the vicinity of the Bus Station (Victory Liner) so as not to tire Mom and the R too much.

We thought it wise to rent a transient room that was just across the station.
It turned out to be a good decision because Mom and R felt very relaxed while waiting for the trip.  We also did not have to worry about our luggages and stayed there until it was just 10 minutes to midnight.

In between the long wait, we also had time to go the "Ukay Ukay, had diner in SM, and met J's cousin who was based there.

The ride home was very smooth and uneventful as we are now able to get into the Deluxe Bus that had all the amenities mentioned in my previous post.

There was a toilet and the seats were "lazy boy" comfy!

One last pose before we dozed off to lalaland.

When we awoke the next morning, we were already in Manila.

The trip was all in all fun filled and refreshing.  We were able to "escape" the Christmas rush even for just a day or two.

Thank you Lord for the provision.
