4 days in Baguio, Philippines and now I am leaving for Sunset Bay, San Fernando, La Union. Baguio days quickly move between pleasant pine lined walks in the cool temperatures of the glade to sooty diesel fume choked jaunts between lodge and the city shops. Having been to Baguio before and completely enjoying the climate contrast to Manila, I have quickly got restless this visit and am now looking forward to the virgin (for me) Philippine territory at Sunset Bay.
Most Pleasant Baguio Experience – The walk back from Mines View to town.
Most Dismal Baguio Experience – One night in the bug infested Starwood Hotel.
Most Likeable Character – Receptionist at the Bloomfield Hotel for displaying (?!) just about everything you’d hope for in a receptionist..welcoming smile, helpfulness, friendliness, a petite prettiness, patience and… charming.
