Backpacking Through Baguio
Since Yen got here we decided to stay in a hotel instead of staying at the condominium. Nay got us a room at the Baguio Country Club for the first two nights, but we had to move to the Villa Cordillera for the next two nights because the club was booked. The Villa Cordillera has some perks but it really isn’t the best place to stay. The hot water is warm and the water pressure is like showering on a pee trickle (I imagine, never really experienced this). The perks of the place was free wi-fi and it was right next door to the condominium. Any way, after two nights we pack our bags again to move back to the club for three nights. We were hoping they could extend our stay until we leave unfortunately they were fully booked again. So again we pack our bags, this time the Villa Cordillera was fully booked too. So we had to find a suitable hotel downtown. We search online… and found El Cielito. Finally a hotel we could stay at until we depart. This hotel is decent, free breakfast is the greatest perk and also its about a minute cab ride to the mall. (Yes, we take the cab because we’re too lazy and honestly I really don’t want to breathe exhaust). We thought we had it made here but the first couple nights the phone and internet connection was dead, they finally came back online today. Our cable TV is still dead so I’m unable to watch my fill of Filipino night time soaps.
Yen and I leave for Manila on Sunday, we got a private car service to take us to our next hotel… Dusit Thani Hotel. Finally, a five star hotel to stay at. I figured I’d shell out some money for a relaxing time before we fly out. After all where else in the world would be stay at a five star hotel for less than $150 a night.
