Driving Directions from Baguio to Manila via Marcos Highway
30 September 2016
There are three main roads in and out of Baguio: Kennon Road, Palispis Highway (also known as Marcos Highway) and Naguilian Road. If you're coming from Manila via the SCTEX and the TPLEX, Kennon Road and Marcos Highway are the routes that you can choose to pass through to get to Baguio. Naguilian Road is ideal if you're passing through the coastal MacArthur Highway.
During our Baguio trip, we drove on Kennon Road to get to Baguio but we were forced to take Marcos Highway on the return trip because Kennon Road was closed for repairs. Historically, Kennon Road gets closed down most often because of the threat of landslides especially during the rainy season. It's better to check advisories if you're planning your trip.
Dinner at Iguana's in Clark to cap off our Baguio Trip
28 September 2016
We knew that when we left Baguio around lunchtime, it would probably be dinner time when we reached Clark. That meant having the opportunity to dine at our favorite restaurant in Clark - Iguana's Authentic Mexican Food.

The mind-boggling night market at Harrison Road, Baguio City
27 September 2016
To say that we've had a full day today was an understatement. Our last stop was the night market along Harrison Road which is open from 9PM until 1AM. From our dinner at the Good Taste Cafe and Restaurant, we parked our car along Session Road and simply walked to get to Harrison Road. The aroma of cooking food and the buzz from the energy of the people shopping along the stretch of road were enough to get us excited!

The trick to making the most out of a trip is to make sure that when you leave your hotel, you already have a complete itinerary prepared with some leeway for adjustments and back up plans. This preparedness actually saved the night for us because in our search for the Star Cafe along Session Road, we ended up eating at a new favorite dining destination - the Good Taste Cafe and Restaurant!

The kids burned off all their energy playing at the Mini Golf and the playground next to it. On our way back to our hotel to rest before dinner, we thought of passing by the Good Shepherd Mountain Maid Training Center to check if we can buy our favorite ube jam because our trip to Baguio wouldn't be complete if we didn't get some :) With time to spare (it took us 30 minutes), we reached Good Shepherd. Enjoyable fun at the Camp John Hay Mini Golf

Having just eaten at the Mile Hi Diner at the Mile Hi Center, everyone was energized and raring to go for some fun activity. Next on the agenda was to play a round of Mini Golf. The place was about 10 minutes away from the Mile Hi Center and we actually couldn't find it the first time we went around Camp John Hay. The next time we did find it, it was raining hard and though it was open, playing was out of the question. This time, the rain had subsided and a bit of sun was out :)

After the kids had their horseback riding adventure at Shalan ni Kabadjo, we knew it was time for some grub. We passed by Mile Hi Center on the way to the Riding Center one time and we thought it would be a good idea to pick our restaurant from there. Looking around, Dana chose to eat at Mile Hi Diner, I guess to avoid Tapa King and Dencio's which were Manila-based franchises.
Horseback riding at Shalan ni Kabadjo in Camp John Hay, Baguio City
27 September 2016
After a very enjoyable boating experience in Burnham Park, the kids were in very high spirits and had more energy to spare so we decided to try the Shalan ni Kabadjo Horseback Riding now that the rain has dissipated. It's a little out of the way since we had to travel to Camp John Hay but it's got more of a nature feel to it compared to the Wright Park riding trail. Again, we were the only ones there so it was great!

Now we come to the place for kids and kids at heart - Burnham Park. After shopping at the Baguio Public Market and ending up with 2 kilos of freshly ground coffee, the kids were excited that the rains stopped and we could visit Burnham Park. They weren't disappointed and this was probably one of their favorite destinations on the trip.
