SAGADA: Finding the right spot

As soon as we touched-down, we wasted no time and contacted our tour guide right away. 


Our requirements for our lodging was that it must be cheap, clean and with hot shower. Luckily, our tour guide already found the perfect spot for us which was cheap, clean, and with hot shower. Plus, as an added bonus, they had unlimited cups of brewed coffee, a wifi connection, and a place to cook if ever we felt like cooking.


According to our tour guide, he chose this spot for us because in terms of location, the Residential Lodge is strategically located at the center of the main street. It was very close to the good food places! I love him already! =P


Lodge front - it doesn't look as comfy outside as it was inside

Huge wooden door. That's our room, RL02.


PS. We also passed-by Masferre Inn and took some pics of the room. Although we would've wanted to stay there, the price did not come cheap. So I'll just be sharing with you the photo we got if in case you're curious as to what it looks like.









  

Backpacking in Sagada

Planned travels do not go well for me. It's usually the spur of the moment things that materializes in the end. Join me as I share one of those spur events when my friend and I went to conquer Sagada for the first time.


Armed with this map, a list of places to stay in, and a contact number of a pre-contacted tour Guide,  we set out to infinity and beyond!

To the right, to the right
Bus#459 Baguio to Sagada... We arrived at the terminal one hour early for our trip so we had to wait a while.
Fare is cheap at Php220
That's the conductor who keeps tabs on the passengers.

Baguio to Sagada takes around 6hrs travel time. I was still giddy at the start of the trip and got some photos along the way. So these are the things that I saw: 










First stop-over
Where you can have your much needed CR break and where you could get some snacks as well. My friend and I got some balut. It was satisfying! =)

Then off we went to the higher grounds...

I got some shut-eye and when I woke up, another stop-over.

It's more of a CR break since we just parked on the roadside. I love the local economy. Fresh veggies at cheap prices. =)

And off we go again...





Ah yes, the bumpy ride to Sagada. Though most of the road was cemented, there was still some parts which weren't.

I see hope... One of the first signs that we've reached our destination.

Touch-down SAGADA! =)

Goodbye Bus#459. Thankies! =)
