Baguio Trip: Baguio Cathedral, Burnham Park, Baguio Market and Our Stay at Cedar Peak Condotel

I was the one who made our Baguio Itinerary and chose the places to visit and stay. Since we have a senior citizen in tow, I made sure to limit the tourist spots to check so that we could take some rest which this vacation is all about.

We arrived at Baguio around 930 AM from Pasay. From the terminal, we walked to our first destination which is Baguio Cathedral. We would like to pay respect and say thanks for our safe trip first.

Then we ate our breakfast at the nearby Jollibee (dapat 50s diner kaso baka di pa open at malayo pala sya sa area).

I asked our Airbnb host at Cedar Peak if we can leave our baggage at the lobby, but unfortunately, she said that they don’t have a luggage area kaya naman bitbit namin gamit namin sa Burnham Park, buti na lang malapit lang naman siya.

You can rent a boat at Burnham Park for P150.00 (unlimited use for off-peak season, ewan lang ilang oras pag peak season). Di na kami sumakay kasi ayaw ni Nanay.

You can ride a Go-Kart for 3o minutes for only P50.00. There are different karts that you can choose from. They have single, double, and even karts for 4 and little kids. Yung for 2 P75.00 tapos P125 naman sa apatan, for 30minutes na yan.

You can also have a picnic at the park (but I don’t know if there’s a fee for this). There are a lot of sunflowers all over the place and we can’t help ourselves to take pictures. I asked some sellers how much per piece of the sunflower and they said it’s around P50.00

Around 12PM, we went to Cedar Peak thinking that they will allow us to have an early check-in. I was not able to sleep at the bus properly so I just want to lay down and snooze for a while. But unfortunately, the receptionist told us that the previous occupants haven’t leave yet and that they will clean the room pa. It’s just nice that they have a soft couch at the lobby that can fit the 5 of us, so we did not hesitate to just sit and sleep there for a while.

I think the room cleaner was able to clean the room earlier than 2pm but still they did not allowed us to go up before our check-in schedule. The key to our room was given to us at EXACTLY 2pm.

Here’s our room. It has 1 double bed, 1 bunk bed, 1 floor mattress

They also have a usable kitchen with basic cooking tools and utensils.

We snoozed for a while and woke up around 4PM to visit the public market to buy some pasalubong. Dito kasi mas mura bumili. Saka lilipat na kasi kami ng hotel the next day and alanganin na bumalik sa city center kaya bumili na kami.

We had our dinner at Good Taste restaurant. This is a “pangmasang restaurant”. Sulit na sulit ang pera mo dito. They offer the best value for your money food kaya naman ang daming tao dito. Hindi ganun kaganda ang lugar pero in fairness, masarap ang luto nila at ang dami ng servings. May mga bagong graduate na dito nag decide kumain. Pagbaba namin, madami pang nagaabang ng available seats. I guess the only thing they need to improve is the number of their staff (kunti lang kasi kaya nagtatagal).

We were planning to go out in the evening to visit the night market at Harrison road, pero mas malakas ang hila ng kama at antok. As early as 8pm ata tulog na kaming lahat.
