Actually Its my Birthday Trip Edition of the lovestory film, that thing called tadhana and teleserye , Forevermore.

Supposedly it's our first international trip to HongKong but we cancelled it. We just decided to visit Baguio because of my Maternal condition.

We arrived in Baguio at lunch time. We checked in at Hotel Supreme Convention Plaza via Booking.com

We get the Family Deluxe room at 3,300/night comes with Free Parking at the basement, Free Wifi inside our room and Free Complimentary Breakfast.

1. LAPERAL WHITE HOUSE

We started our do-it-yourself tour at the Laperal White House. Entrance Fee is 50 pesos /pax. Opening time 9-5pm only.

We've been guided by Kuya (staff there) and showed us to different Bamboo crafts inside the old house. Actually the house is renovated. Some of the rooms were locked, But the place is still creepy. Laperal House is just nearly  across 50's Diner and near Azalea Residences

2. TEACHERS CAMP

Then a quick tour at the Teacher's camp.  It is believed that Ghosts of native warriors, as well as spirits that are still restless, are reportedly seen there.

3. OLD DIPLOMAT HOTEL

Next stop is at the Old Diplomat Hotel. Opening time is 8am - 5pm only. Free Admission

The place is so rustic and picture friendly. I don't know why its so cold inside. Yay! Its an old abandoned hotel. At that time when the hotel is still operational, there are employees and guests claimed they heard strange sounds

4. CASA VALLEJO

Then the Old structure Hotel, Casa Vallejo near SM Baguio

The next day, After we had our free breakfast at the hotel,

 We went to the new tourist spot at Benguet, The famous La Presa ( Forevermore location shoot) at Mount Sto. Tomas.Thanks to google map we reached the very steep part of Benguet. Its a 30-45minute ride from Baguio City Proper

We survived the zigzag road but we enjoyed the overlooking view of Baguio.

I advised you to bring your sweater,its very cold. There are available public toilets there, souvenir items and their famous strawberry TAHO.

Then we took our lunch at the famous Cafe in the sky, where you can dine while enjoy the beautiful view of sea of clouds. Its very peaceful and relaxing. The food there is costly because of the view. You can sip a cup of Hot chocolate or coffee. We have a good timing because the weather is perfect.

Lastly, we stopped by at the Mines View Park and Good Sheperd to buy our pasalubong. The famous Ube Jam, Peanut Brittle and Strawberries.

And who would'nt stop by at the Lion's Head in Kennon Road.

Although its very tiring, I thanked God for giving us a good weather on my Birthday Trip. Indeed It's more fun in the Philippines!!
