Philippines Day 18 : Bus from Vigan to Baguio – Burham Park – Overnight bus from Baguio to Banaue

0930 – Checked out from the room. Waiting the bus at the Jolibee just opposite of the Caltex gas station. We only know that Partas is the company that provide bus to Baguio. Hence, we were waiting for that company bus. After half hour, we saw there is a bus towards us that writing Baguio. I never heard of this company but it is air-conditioned bus. Hence, we just took it and cost PHP250/person.

The bus didn’t stop for any restaurant but there were many food vendor selling some snacks. Hence, we bought some to eat. After few hours of flat road, the road to Baguio is a hilly road that bus engine is so loud that hard to sleep.

1600 – Reached Baguio. The bus stopped near the SM City Baguio. We didn’t plan to stay overnight in Baguio city. We straight away went to find the bus to Banaue. We booked the Ohayami Bus (PHP430/person) instead of van which cost (PHP415/person) since we knew that van seat is very small. We left our backpack in the Ohayami Bus Counter.

After that, we just walked around the Burham Park. There is a Rose garden that is free to visit. We able to see some colour of beautiful rose. After that, we tried the strawberry taho which can find any place in the park. After that, we had the dinner at the KFC before getting on the bus.
