Baguio City 2012 (Day 3)
4:41:00 PMIt’s our last day in Baguio. It has been a great experience wandering around Baguio with my boyfriend. It was my first time to see these places despite the fact that my family and I go to Baguio annually since my parents join the bazaar during the Panagbenga Festival.
We packed all our things and had an early checkout from the hotel. We were excited to have our breakfast at 50s Diner (Gen Luna Rd) since I’ve read great reviews about this restaurant. We came early because it was advised in the reviews I’ve read that this place really gets crowded during breakfast. When we arrived, it really was crowded, and the fact that the restaurant was quite small, we had to wait in line for us to be accommodated.

After the heavy breakfast we had, we decided to go to our last destination before heading to the bus terminal. Not very far away from 50's diner, we headed to the Baguio Botanical Garden. It’s between Teacher’s Camp and Pacdal Circle and the entrance is at Leonard Wood Road.

Inside were different Ifugao huts, flowers, ponds, statues and there was even a cave but I was too scared to go inside. You can also experience horseback riding here but we opted to walk instead. Here are some of the photos we had inside.

just by seeing pictures from Baguio reminds me of my childhood. It's nice that there are some places that are still intact after all this years.
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to get cold again here in Tagaytay. So if you're missing Baguio's climate, Tagaytay weather is here waiting for you :)
ReplyDeleteMy best friend grew up in Baguio and has always bragged about the 50's diner! I would love to go there just to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThese are two places in Baguio I have never been to before in my previous trips there. We have passed outside that botanical gardens many times, but never did go inside yet.
ReplyDeleteI also went to Botanical Gardens. I tried on the igorot costume. It was worth the visit.
ReplyDeleteI've been to all of this places in Baguio before except for the diner, I opt for places that don't serve hotdogs haha. Healthy food all the way is my take on meals. :)
ReplyDeleteActually I have not heard much about the Baguio and it looks like bit set back kind of a place and not with those fast life. Food portion is looking bit small.
ReplyDeleteI love the food at 50s diner because it's really affordable. Funny how the first time I visited the Botanical Garden was the time I had to tour some officemates in Baguio when I was already in Manila.
ReplyDeleteI wish I can get to Baguio one day. I'm too afraid to travel because of the usual accidents that happen in the main roads going there. Anyway, that 50's diner look cool! I will definitely remember that when I get the chance to visit that province.
ReplyDeleteBaguio City is a dream place for every Filipino and really great to explore. Sometimes, affordable food is the key while travelling from places to places.
ReplyDeleteI I love botanical gardens! I'd definitely visit the one you presented in this article. And I'm guessing saying good by to a place is always hard to do :)
ReplyDeleteThe meal you had looks pretty simple ... So what's the nicest food besides the milkshake? Is the food nice too? hahaha
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine said 50s diner is now closed. I love Baguios weather but I hate the traffic during flower festival and I just hope they will open again their airport. I dont wanna go there by land travel. It gets me too dizzy when in kenon road
ReplyDeleteThis is the second post I've read bout baguio. And yes, I'd say, I don't want to go back there for the holiday. I wanna spend my holiday somewhere more serene. Baguio has become so crowded nowadays. And the traffic is starting to get into my nerve. haha
ReplyDeleteBaguio City is a great place to spend time with your family especially during summer. It's cool weather is almost irresistible :)
ReplyDeleteSecond time this day to read posts about Baguio. I will be there next year and definitely I will maximize my stay there going to great sites and savoring Baguio's finest cuisines.
ReplyDelete50s diner should really look into expanding, a lot of people have the same review! Understaffed and overcrowded. The place looks really photogenic though.
ReplyDeleteThe 50s Diner really caught my eye! I would love to try the food here soon!! :D
