Bagio- City in the sky

We left early Monday morning and headed to Bagio. From Pampanga it was a good 4 hour drive. We hired a driver named Paul who i swear looks just like my buddy Arneil.

The van was cool cause it had strong AC and fit all 12 members of our party comfortably. We stopped in Pangsignangngngingng (that's the wrong spelling but that's how i pronounced it hahaha) and i had Jollie Bee for the second straight day... no complaints haha.
The drive up to Bagio was banana's. Parts of the trip we were literally feets away from a cliff with a hundred foot drop. But amazing scenery.

We stayed 3 days and 2 nights in Bagio and did the tourist thing. It truely is the city in the sky. We hit SM Bagio and the top floor of the mall is open to the outdoors. At a certain part of the day the clouds that surround Bagio move their way through the mall and you are literally engulfed in the clouds. i wish i had taken a picture but when this went down we were running late to meet up w/ my mom to catch a movie.

Some high lights of the Bagio trip:

SM Bagio
Horse back riding
Botanical Gardens
Picture taking at one of the many view points in Bagio
Copping souvenirs at the Palenke
Dinner at Jerry's Grill

If you ever visit the phils then Bagio is a must! I could compare it to Banff in Alberta, Canada but really they are 2 totally different entities. The scenery alone is worth the trip.

(Show me a giant boob and ask me not to touch it, yeah right)

(Me and Wifey on top of a mountain, awesome view!)
