Baguio Day Trip- Part 2

Right after staying in a culturally laid – back Tam-awan Village , we took a cab and went to Session Road to have lunch. And just like that, food makes me whole again. Ha-ha

Afterwards, I and my friend rode a jeepney to Camp John Hay . The place is so huge. Perfect for team building, retreats, picnics, and a whole lot more.

Things that you can do: wall climbing, paint ball, slide and rappel, target shooting, and go on a tree top adventure

This place is good for adventure - seekers. Unfortunately, I am not that person. ha - ha 

Mid afternoon, we paid a visit to the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) . The guard would then ask for your ID. So make sure you bring one to get inside the vicinity.Upon entering the gate, I was blown on how cozy and nice the place is. It’s a perfect place for jogging, for relaxation and to re – awaken ones culture.  More so, the road is so wide; gutter is well – painted with yellow and sidewalks have been installed and paving is complete.

Too bad, I missed taking decent pictures of the main gate and some important structures along the way, as our cab went on and on to the main building. Thanks to my friend Margie, she had some nice shots.

On a second thought, I didn't put much of a protest as my feet are kind of tired walking. Sour graping?!?! HA-HA

Now, the place that I was so in the mood to see is the Bencab Museum. Bencab is short for Benedicto Cabrera - a  national artist for visual arts.

We got there safe by a jeepney in Baguio Market. It’s a 15 – minute ride from downtown area.  Unfortunately, the museum is close. The staff are on tour for 3 days. Hu – hu . I was down. We were down. This could have been a wrap up. See the imperfections of life? Some good things are not meant to happen. Hu – hu

And I just miss to see the organic farm. So I got clued seeing this gallery.

It is really worth seeing the place, isn't it? Sigh~~ But that didn't grow me weary. I shouldn't be. After all, I promised this has to be one hell of a trip. Wew! Forgive me for being so melodramatic. hahah

Before capping the evening, the area nearby Abanao Square should not be miss. Lots of great stuff awaits you here. T - shirts, jackets, shoes, bags are sold in super low, low, prices!!!

Ohh well, another reason to go back in Baguio.....

What a great trip that was. Everyone is so friendly. I highly commend the place for an easy, mini - vacay.
