^ sis hubby ko nakashorts lang din lagi but ako nakaleggings talaga ako kasi lamigin ako
may mga nakita naman akong girls na nakashorts although sa araw yun. sa gabi hinde ko na napansin kung may mga nakashorts pa. but yup mga senior na nakita ko medyo balot talaga.

[euqihn]

hi mga sis...baguio din kami ng saturday sunday then deretso baler sobrang thankful kasi nakisama ang weather, no rain at all...sobrang lamig sa gabi, naka double jacket ako actually sa lamig pero sa maghapon medyo keri naman ang lamig tsaka pag naglakad lakad ka na at natamaan ka ng araw..medyo mainit narin at pag papawisan ka narin konti..even my kids medyo kinaya naman ang weather maghapon habang namamasyal kahit naka shorts lang... sa gabi lang talaga hindi keri ang lamig 

expect heavy traffic din pala pag weekends, medyo ang lakas makaubos oras ng traffic kahit sa gabi...we opted to commute rather than bringing our car para less hassle sa pagkaligaw, sa paghanap ng parking tsaka para maka pahinga rin si hubby sa pag drive...taxi is everywhere naman e kaya ok lang, isa pa kamahalan ng gasolina sa baguio as in 10 pesos difference ata from manila kaya nag commute nalang din talaga kami haha 

about christmas village...medyo hindi kami nag enjoy even my kids or masyado lang ako nag expect haha... nag enjoy lang sila sa snow  but overall nag enjoy naman ang mga kiddos kahit sobrang kapagod ang bonggang lakaran

You can wear short naman pag may araw. Hindi naman ganun kalamig pero sobrang lamig talaga sa gabi.

That is also the reason why we chose weekday travel dates, kasi mas na eenjoy namin ang road trip dahil walang traffic or managable ang traffic mas maaliwalas baway tourist spot sa Baguio, and hind stress kaya naman kami dumayo sa Baguio para sa hangin so praying for good weather and good traffic condition.

Planning to go to Baguio on December 26-28 with my Mom.
Super hassle ba kung commute lang kami? Mabilis kasi sumakit yung katawan ng mom ko kapag madaming lakad lakad. Wala pa din akong nabobook na accomodation.. 

[euqihn]

^^ tama ka sis, if possible mag travel on weekdays, do it, much better talaga..kasi pag weekends sobrang dami ng tao kahit saan...imagine sa tree top adventure may 2-3hours waiting time para sa mga rides..trekking lang ang walang waiting hahaha...anyways, have a safe trip sis super bratinella...enjoy

^keri naman ang commute sis, yung botanical garden, wright park at mansion kasi is magkakadikit lang halos kaya keri ang lakad pero pwede rin naman commute para hindi mahirapan si mother  

[orangepulp]

Best malaga magtravel pag weekday. Yung kaskasero naming driver took us to Baguio in 3 and a half hours. We traveled during the week and at night and made a quick CR stop lang.

[super bratinella]

Just got back from Baguio, our travel dates were 21-23 Dec and the traffic was very managable, the tourist places maeenjoy talga kasi wala masyadong tao and hindi mahirap makahanap ng parking at the same time makakapag relax talaga ang mga bata ang senior.

The weather is ok, hindi na ako nag jacket sa day trips namin as in tshirt, jeans and boots lang pero pag dating ng gabi dapat may jacket pero managable pa rin ang lamig ng hangin ulike last 2014 na sobrang lamig talaga.

We went to :
Burnham (While waiting for our Hotel Room to be prepared)
Camp John Hay for picnic
Dinner at Good Taste
Night Market

2nd day:
Breafast picnic at Camp John Hay
Strawberry Fields at La Trinidad
Lunch at Ketchup Food Community at Ranchos
Mines View Park, Ibay at Good Shepherd
PMA - unlimited photo ops
Dinner at Central Park Restaurant
Hotem

3rd day
Breafast at Good Taste
Back to the hotel ready to check out
Market to buy veggies while kids are playing in Burnham Park (Bike ride and playground)
Then we left Baguio at around 2PM

Sobrang traffic na papuntang Baguio when we left, and the prices of the veggies

Potato - 70p per kilo
Onion - 60p per kilo
Carrots - 70p per kilo
Garlic - 150p per kilo
Siling Green - 100 per kilo (I will cook Dynamite kasi haha)
Sayote 25p per kilo

Enjoy sa mga pupunta pa lang..

Thank you sa mga inputs sissies!

We are planning to be in Baguio around 3rd week ng Jan.  Earlier this month, dami pa accomodations available and quite affordable pa...checking them now, grabe, aside sa limited na yung choices ang mamahal na..even airbnb, higher prices na compare sa hotels! We are group of 6pax.

I panicked and booked Minesview Hotel Park, I found it expensive na but I need the comfort ng hotel kase may seniors kami. I dreamed of staying sa Manor, or any hotels inside CJH..hindi lang talaga kaya ng budget na lalo now! I want to feel freshness ng Baguio like the old days. Wala ako balak mag punta sa tourists spots nga.

Anyone stayed in this hotel? feedback please.
TIA

Happy Holidays!

how's the weather in baguio? affected b siya ng typhoon? we will be there sana sa 27-28...

[sherlock]

hi. anyone who stayed na in cosfort suites near victory liner? any reviews? how far is it to sm baguio and session road, walkable naman ba from hostel?

[Madness]

To those going to Baguio, hay naku, my trip with Joy Bus (Genesis) took me 7 hours! The usual 4 hours naging 7! Sa may Rosario, La Union, the intersection there dun kami naipit ng traffic. Que Horror! Brace yourself sa mga pupunta 

[hann-hann]

sherlock hi! sa cosfort kami nagstay during our Dec17-20 trip. okay naman yung room na nakuha namin. tutulugan lang naman din kasi and maghapon naman kami wala so okay na sa amin ang simpleng room basta malinis. when we stayed there available yung room sa ground floor at 3rd floor. we chose the one on the third, kase para walang dumadaan daan hehe tsaka maganda ang view. pagbukas kasi namin ng door maraming puno yung nakikita namin. lol

malapit sya sa sm baguio. kayang-kaya lakarin. less than 10mins walk, or pwede pa ngang 5mins kung mabilis maglakad. hehe. session road, we tried going here at night and naglakad lang kami. keri naman pero medyo malayo na sya from cosfort. kung group of friends pwede nyo lakarin but if you have kids and elders magtaxi na lang kayo kasi mapapagod sila sa lakaran.

[super bratinella]

We always stay near Burnham Park, kaso nakaka disappoint mag stay sa burnham hindi makapag relax ang daming namamasko na mukha naman ginawang pera lang ang pasko so next time we will stay malapit sa Session Road kasi mas maraming kainan, we will try Paladin Hotel next time.

[mysterioza_me]

Sis meron bang safe camping site in Baguio (kahit may fee)?

[brandi]

eh yung amoy sunog na clutch na ang baguio dahil sa dami ng tao plus super traffic? Sana lang clean as you go yung mga pumupunta. Ang dumi ng paligid. Nakakalungkot.

[sherlock]

@hann-hann

thanks sis sa review. will try cosfort next time siguro if i'm with friends. this time kasi kasama ko mom ko and we booked another hotel na. will be staying in travellite express hotel, near burnham park daw so hopefully ok ang location.

by the way, ok lang ba DIY ang tour? thinking of commuting na lang kasi wala ako makitang nag-oofer ng day tour na medyo mura. may napagtanungan ako na exclusive tour (innova/sedan) pero ang quote naman ranges from 2500 to 3500 for for 8 hours just for 2pax. hindi ba medyo mahal na ito or sakto lang ang price nila. i have no idea kasi ng usual ng presyuhan ng tour sa baguio.

[ellenmitchie]

^Sis medyo di sulit ang 2500 kung 2pax lang. Mas okay DIY tour nalang, madali lang naman mag DIY kahit first timer sa Baguio. All you have to do is to search yung mga gusto niyong puntahan, then mag taxi nalang kayo, mura lang naman taxi. Para di ka mahirapan, pagsamahin mo yung mga malalapit like Wright Park, Mansion, kasi iisang lugar lang yun, pwede kayo bumaba then sakay nalang ulit after para pumunta sa iba.

We hired a taxi before na nag ala tour guide siya nung first time namin, we paid him P1,700, but that was 2008 pa and marami kami nun.

[sherlock]

^

will do that na lang, researched a bit and may jeep terminals naman to wright park/mansion/mines view. if ever, mag-tataxi na lang kami for strawberry farm, tam-awan and lourdes grotto. but would you suggest na magpahintay na kami sa taxi for both these spots or marami naman dumadaan na transpo dun? also, mga how much kaya taxi fare? ex: burnham to strawberry farm ; burnham to tam-awan

thanks ^^

[ellenmitchie]

^ Marami naman taxi na dumadaan sis, kahit di ka na magpahintay. Even in BenCab Museum nga, paglabas namin may mga taxi din nun na nag aabang ng pasahero, so okay lang kahit di na magpahintay.

Mura lang sis ang fare dun, wala kasing aircon ang taxi dun. Malaki na yun 110+ na fare from session road to strawberry farm sis. Besides, honest ang taxi drivers. Binabalik nila ang sukli mo, kahit piso pa yan. So di mo kailangan mag dagdag like here in Manila.
