Slept for two nights in a hostel dorm room in Baguio.Spent the second day touring around Baguio’s popular tourist spots. Wanted to cover the basics since it was my first time to re-visit Baguio.On my third day, I reserved the afternoon for a short side trip to the Strawberry Fields of La Trinidad, Benguet. Upon returning to Baguio, I took a late afternoon bus back to Manila.
