Still Day 2 - The Floats of Panagbenga Festival Baguio Trip 2017

Before I go into the floats after our Camp John Hay hike, we checked out of Le Monet and transferred to Nearby Baguio Transient at Siapno Road, Pacdal.


Our taxi fare was just about Php60 but we missed the building because it has no signage. The building is just near the St. Joseph Church near Wright Park.

As soon as we arrived, the owners were very accommodating. Even giving us this calling card with the locations of famous Baguio spots:


So as you can see, it's walking distance to the church, Wright Park, Botanical Garden and the Mansion and a short jeepney ride to Mines View and Good Shepherds.

Here is our room good for 2 pax. Bring your own towel and toiletries but the room has hot water. No TV though :(


Since we were in the area, a visit to St. Joseph's Church and  Mines View first where we had lunch at a Bulalo place near the park's entrance:








There were so many people at Mines View that we forego going to Good Shepherd and bought some pasalubong's at Mines View instead. Then we took a jeep going back to Burnham Park to see the floats:


Again, so many people hahaha

Here are some of the best floats (or those that are still standing as some floats were plucked out of flowers already sadly :( )
















































Tired and hungry, we hiked up to Baguio Cathedral for Sunday mass and had Original La Paz Bachoy at the parking mall beside the cathedral:


That concludes Day 2.

Below are some other interesting sites I visited prior to Panagbenga:

Laperal House









Chocolate de Batirol




Will post a review of my overall experience tomorrow :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Hirayamanawari,
