But if you're one who heavily enjoys the party scene and the heavy trafficked tourist zones, this place is good to check out.

After getting ready for the day and packing our camera bag, we headed out to grab breakfast at the Yoghurt house.

We left Baguio at around 7:45 in the morning on a bus that was nowhere near the luxury status of the Victory Liner we took to Baguio. I had wished the trip was an overnight ride so that we could have sleep most of the way.
