Arriving on a wet Baguio City marked the start of our unusual Baguio weekend getaway. I can’t remember visiting the City of Pines on a wet season like this, and the heavy downpour that welcomed me and my friends told us one thing – this is not the Baguio we used to enjoy during summer.
There was a typhoon when we went up there, and since everything was already booked for this trip, we cannot backed out anymore. However, despite of it, we all know that this is gonna be an interesting trip that is going to be filled with many firsts, and the first one of the many firsts on this trip is us traveling via Joy Bus – a deluxe bus more convenient that any public transport I’ve tried for the past years I’ve been visiting Baguio.
It took us around 5 hours or less, from Cubao, to reach Baguio – I was asleep the whole travel time, which means I’m very comfortable the whole time. A pack of biscuit and bottled water come with every booking, along with the amenities such as the onboard comfort room and clean blanket. The travel time was fast given that we don’t have to make any stop and we took the shortest route provided – NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX.
After arriving at the bus station in Baguio City, which is a stone-throw away from SM City Baguio, our hotel service picked-us up to bring us to our home for this weekend trip – the Azalea Hotel and Residences Baguio.
I’ve been here before, like 3 or 4 years ago, and I can’t believe how the place still look and feel like it is newly opened. The furnishing and the ambiance were as warm as the staff who welcome us with their big smile on their faces. We were just in time for the buffet breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant – Tradition – so, yeah, a festive and filling welcome couldn’t be more perfect.
