Baguio Trip Part 2

We took the alternate route to climb Baguio. Instead of passing the Lion's head we took Marcos Highway which was a more relaxed climb compared to the old Kennon road. I only use the "D" or drive in the automatic transmission of the Pajero since it was the only option that I knew. When we were halfway of the climb my Son signalled us that he really needs to wiwi immediately that is when I came to a stop. The weather is quite sour with a moderate rainshower when my son had his time on the corner of the road. I came to help him since I was afraid for him to the thought that he was pissing near the road. Then I came to notice smoke coming from our vehicle. The tires were hot and when the rain touched it the water evaporated causing it to emit smoke. That was the time that I decided to use the "2" gear. After that we climbed slowly but surely making sure that we won't have any problems with our tires. At last we finally saw a "Welcome to Baguio" sign and I was relieved knowing that it won't take long for us to arrive at our destination. My father made a reservation for us in one of their staff house which is located near Baguio's Export Processing Zone so we have no problems looking for a place to stay. Finally after getting lost a number of times in Baguio City we fnally arrived in the staff house. We were welcomed by the caretaker and escorted us in our rooms. We were supposed to occupy 2 rooms but the room that we had was huge eough to accomodate two families so we decided to take that one big room. After settling down and fixing ourselves up due to the long trip, we went out for lunch. It was already around 3 in the afternoon amd boy we were starving. The first restaurant that we went to was located along the road. My friend saw this in the internet and according to him was famous. We decided to check it out. The price was not very expensive but is a little off our budget. My friend told me that its on him that's why I agreed. Inside the restaurant was very elegant and the utensils were shiny like it's a fine dine Restaurant. But my friend's wife did not liked it in there not because its expensive but it's too elegant for us. It's not the "Barkada Type" (Filipino style friendship or something like that) of restaurant. So we looked somewhere else. Good thing that we found a restaurant which serves Sisig and other Filipino local foods.

Baguio is just a small city compared to Manila that a tour can only last within a day. It's just that it was crowded at that time when we got there. We were already warned that there were so many people going to Baguio during the holy week. But we were prepared. What we were looking for was adventure and not moments of silence.
